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

Dear Demetrios:

I must say that even the candidates in the Battle River-Crowfoot byelection would be impressed with how well the Alberta Sheriffs Executive Security Detail did last night at The DoubleTree By Hilton Hotel (formerly The Mayfield Inn & Suites) in protecting the Premier & other panelists from some hostile crowd members. Most especially those who got angry & violent in tone, even swearing into the mic. This is a rather disgusting lack of decorum & civility & I can clearly understand why the Premier said "bullshit" in frustration back to them because that's why they were they providing. That and a clearly unsafe atmosphere where I felt nervous at points, I am sure many in the crowd agreed. The security detail moved around, changed & adjusted positions & got detail members nearby areas where more noisy & hostile crowd members were & closer to the panel. Frankly, it was a rather textbook case of security excellence. I've always said Alberta Sheriffs are great & they are beyond great!

As an aside, on the listing of cabinet or Executive Council members there isn't an email address listed for Hon. Matt Jones, ECA, MLA, Minister of Hospital & Surgical Health Services, United Conservative, Calgary-South East in the Alberta Staff Directory. This is a glaring oversight by His Majesty's UCP Government as Matt would obviously have his own email rather than sharing the health.minister@gov.ab.ca cabinet email with Hon. Adriana LaGrange, ECA, MLA, Minister of Primary & Preventive Health Services, United Conservative, Red Deer-North as he has his own separate health responsibilities. Clearly an email of a cabinet nature should be placed online by Matt's name as quickly as possible to ensure total transparency.

As for Bruce McAllister he was being arrogant when stating his opinion on whether someone should say something or not. He is the moderator, as such he should not be broadcasting his opinions in a form. Very sloppy for an ex MLA & now head of The Southern Office Of The Premier!

Note: Wade Izzard was thrilled than I ran into Mike Butler at this event!

Lorne Gunter Is Awesome The New Not Needing To Show Receipt Policy Is Stupid Especially As AISH Recipients Are Now Subsidizing The Hidden Hotel Bills Of Cabinet Ministers With The Reduction In Pay Being Given To Them,
