Hon. Demetrios Nicolaides, B. A., M. P. S., Ph. D., ECA, MLA, Minister of Education, United Conservative, Calgary-Bow
Canadian Future Party Leader & Candidate Dominic Cardy wants people to move forward as one combined unit. He doesn't want to tilt left anymore which as an ex-New Brunswicker NDP cabinet member you might expect. Dom instead wants more centrist compromises that are better for all.

Carrying On The Good Fight!

Dear Demetrios:
Kudos to quatre incumbent candidates running for another term as Deputees (MPs) in Quebec for this election. Diagnosed with cancer just a few months or a few weeks before the election was called, they choose to fight on for the people. Sure they have to campaign in a reduced capacity or not at all to get their strength back. This will help them heal faster & thus be at full strength to fight for their constituents once they are sworn in again. Best of luck to Liberal Candidate Alexandre Mendes, Brossard-Saint-Lambert, Conservative Candidate Jacques Gourde, Levis-Lotbiniere, Conservative Candidate, Luc Berthold, Megantic-L'Erable-Lotbiniere, & Bloc Quebecois Candidate Rene Villemure, Trois-Rivieres. I wish them all a very speedy & strong recovery from this evil known as cancer! Having had minor bladder cancer issues myself & a bladder rebuild which necessitates in me having to use throw away catheters to urinate I've got extreme sympathy for these brave public servants!
Gordon Lightfoot,

Sign Sickness
Personally I am beyond sickened to hear of the campaign sign destruction that took place here in Sherwood Park the other day all over The Dominion Of Canada for this writ. It happened to me when I ran under the Progressive Conservative banner in MMXX in Edmonton-West (a quarter of a century ago this coming November, worst mistake of my life). Just over 30 of my signs were uprooted & found burning in a field just west of Edmonton, so RCMP had case notes on it, but nothing came of it. They are expensive plus PC Canada didn't pay for my entire sign costs as I was lower budgeted I paid for some myself.
I had intended to use them again to run for an alternate office or two, but the rest were destroyed in a flood in my mom's apartment basement condo. So all that hard work by designers & printers to make them for me & folks to aide my dad & me putting the signs up. It bothers me to this day still, it wasn't right when done to me. Nor is it right when done to anyone else!

Healthy Statehood Versus No To The LIst (51st) State Of Canada!
April XXIInd, MMXXV
Hon. Demetrios Nicolaides, B. A., M. P. S., Ph. D., ECA, MLA, Minister of Education, United Conservative, Calgary-Bow
Dear Demetrios:
On Easter Sunday at 3:30PM MDT I saw "The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance" on the big screen at the beautiful classic Garneau Theatre in south Edmonton, in of course beautiful balcony seating. It was a glorious film & I had seen it before, directed by Oscar (TM) Winner John Ford, & starring three Academy Award (TM) Winners for Best Actor, John Wayne, James Stewart, & Lee Marvin. A western, with quality actors like these & a solid supporting cast, & shot in sublime black & white, it was a great experience to see this film on a big screen.
It relates to Canada's current Federal Election as James Stewart's character, Ransom Stoddard is a lawyer & he wants to get the territory he's living in to become a state. Just as Mr. Trump wants Canada to become America's LIst (51st) State. Though Stoddard wants to do this peacefully by becoming a territorial delegate, & garnering votes through the democratic process to get folks to vote in plebiscites to accept statehood. Stoddard helps illiterate folks in his town learn how to read & stand up for their rights against bullies & murderers like Liberty Valance who want to take them away, through coercion such as violence, even murder.
Eventually Ransom Stoddard serves as Ist Governor of his State then moves on to becoming its Ist United States Senator, very healthy political contributions/discussions. None of this meanness & coercion that the MAGA crowd is trying to stick on Canadians!
