Still Going Rock Of Ages In Memoriam

Hon. Demetrios Nicolaides, B. A., M. P. S., Ph. D., ECA, MLA, Minister of Education, United Conservative, Calgary-Bow

Dear Demetrios:

Condolences all around to the families & friends of the II dead mountain climbing in our beautiful mountain parks. Yes rocks falling off the mountain is just natural, but I for one hope that the 3 new MLAs join their 84 sitting colleagues (86 after the October MMXXVII Alberta Regular Election for a total of 89) in trying to work with His Majesty's Federal Liberal Government in trying to come up with making them safer, both in provincial & federal zones wherever mountains are.

This is certainly not an issue that should be partisan. Perhaps a committee should be struck to ensure fairness & impartiality & have a member of His Majesty's Provincial New Democratic Loyal Official Opposition MLAs lead it as Chairperson like they do the His Majesty's Treasury Board & Finance Committee. Perhaps Sarah Elmeligi, B. Sc., M. Sc., Ph. D., MLA, New Democratic, Banff-Kananaskis with her background in wildlife ecology would be an ideal choice?!

As an aside we have Senator Karen Sorenson, Independent-Liberal, Alberta the former Banff Mayor in Ottawa. She'd be valuable if the committee proposed were made a joint provincial-federal venture, such as a task force!

Don't Rock Me Amadeus,

Rory
