November VIth, MMXXI

Hon. Adriana LaGrange, MLA, Minister of Education, United Conservative, Red Deer-North

Dear Adriana:

I agree with your staff in Fort McMurray from Alberta Education that Brian Jean, B. Sc., LL. B., QC makes a rather intriguing choice as a Fort-McMurray-Lac La Biche byelection candidate. Especially if he becomes the nominee because the United Conservative Party (UCP) would thus hold the seat rather than have it become a New Democratic Party (NDP) pickup or "protest vote." The fact that they would suggest Alan Hallman for Jean's campaign manager is ever so intriguing. Al, "the ever Kenney loyalist" would certainly do a great job & signal to UCP members that it's time for the Hon. Premier Jason Kenney, PC, MLA, United Conservative, Calgary-Lougheed to "stand down" without a fight to ensure his party survives unfractured.

Also when the Premier castigated Mr. Jean by saying he didn't finish term as MP or MLA, let us remind Albertans that Mr. Kenney resigned on September XXIIIrd, MMXVI as a member of Her Majesty's Loyal Official Conservative Opposition & MP despite promising to serve his full MMXV-MMXIX term. So he's being a hypocrite to as he & Mr. Harper resigned that same year, a full 3 years before there last federal term was up. Causing two 800 thousand $ byelections in Calgary taxpayers didn't need to pay for (ah shades of "he's dead Jim" Prentice who also quit early as an MP & refused to serve as an MLA when booted from power) in Calgary-Heritage & Calgary-Midnapore.

Calgary-Heritage

Calgary-Midnapore

A side note as the lawsuit against The Office Of The Premier states that both former Agriculture Minister Devin Dreeshen, MLA, United Conservative, Innisfail-Sylvan Lake, & Hon. Tyler Shandro, MLA, Minister of Labour (nee Health), United Conservative, Calgary-Acadia are drunks. I give Devin full marks for standing down early to deal with his alcoholism. Perhaps Ty should do the same & exit cabinet & very soon. Of course as I used to make cabinets with my dad in his furniture store, I could make these 2 boozers liquor cabinets to custom fit for storage in the Legislature Bvilding!

As for Brian, he resigned after losing the UCP leadership race. The winner, Jason Kenney refused to talk to him or include him in on decisions. Brian was also great in helping folks as Her Majesty's Loyal Official Wildrose Opposition Leader during the Fort Mac fire crisis. Also the fact that Alberta Health Services (AHS) murdered his son through gross mismanagement of his health care. Sort of like they are doing on the Covid-19 file.
