Ed Broadbent-Candidate Tony McQuail

Rory J. Koopmans, B. Admin., #6, 14504-108 Avenue, Edmonton, Alberta T5N 1G8

October XXXIst, MMXXV

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

Dear Demetrios:

Federal New Democratic Candidate for Leader Tony McQuail starts off his campaign with a message on keeping the world & its surroundings safer. This makes sense as Tony is an Ontario farmer & farmers are the backbone of this Dominion frankly, whatever political persuasion they may be.

"We have to look after the environment."

Ecological Responsibility,

Rory

"Total Recall!"

Rory J. Koopmans, B. Admin., #6, 14504-108 Avenue, Edmonton, Alberta T5N 1G8

October XXVIIIth, MMXXV

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

Dear Demetrios:

The three pronged attack in terms of your possible "Total Recall" as an MLA will be partly in this format:

I. Trying to see disaffected former PC Alberta members & supporters who backed former MLA Alana DeLong. Alana has many friends who live near her former log-cabin home in the constituency who may want to assist.


II. There are folks who feel former MLA Deborah Drever & her Alberta New Democratic beliefs were given a raw deal & she didn't get a fair chance to do the job by winning a second term. Despite her being quite personable I found.


III. Then there is The Hon. Jason T. Kenney, ECA, United Conservative factor, a member of The "Premier"e League here at Executive Dissertations. Jason T. may not feel that it was fair the UCP membership gave him such a low leadership vote. What better revenge than for Jason T. to back a recall of a cabinet minister from when he was Premier from MMXIX-MMXXII by using the very recall weapon that the Kenney government created?! Wonderful of Kenney's "gentleman friend" to lend him such a high quality spatula!

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

Dear Demetrios:

I was assured by Edmonton Elections staff that my Special Ballot of September XXIXth, MMXXV would be counted at the Returning Office. Its part of the reason I voted early, that & the minor foot surgery & avoiding lineups were of course also considerations. So as a result, needless to say I am rather disappointed that Edmonton Elections is instead doing the rest of the count at The Expo Centre, gosh I haven't been there for what 5 years since I got a Covid XIX vaccine shot. Whilst I respect that EE staff will make the vote counting accurate & safe, I do object vociferously to the move to this facility which of course is not going to be as secure at the Returning Office due to its huge size & the need for a boatload of more security to protect the voting area. I do however not blame EE staff, as its the stupidity of now Speaker then Municipal Affairs Minister Hon. Ric McIver, ECA, MLA, United Conservative, Calgary-Hays & His Majesty's United Conservative Government in implementing the new Municipal Voting Act. EE staff have to use 4x the ballot boxes so of course they need x the space (3 for the ballots for the 3 offices & 1 for signed/completed/witnessed elligible to vote forms) & EE staff & administrators are okay by me that is for sure!  It was great to see Mayor-Elect Andy Knack's parents at Hap's Hungry House today at breakfast time, a superb restaurant! I used to be a neighbor just a couple of blocks away to Mr. & Mrs. Knack Senior!

Staffed,

Rory

"One Battle After Another!"

Rory J. Koopmans, B. Admin., #6, 14504-108 Avenue, Edmonton, Alberta T5N 1G8

October XXth, MMXXV

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

Dear Demetrios:

It's just "One Battle After Another" in politics, with the municipal voting day today, I decided to look at other battles. The late President Gerald R. Ford, Republican-Michigan & his compatriot & friendly competitor & fellow late President James E. Carter, Democratic-Georgia once wrote an op-ed stating that a US Presidential Winning Candidate should only be able to serve 1 term, albeit 6 years so they can get something done as the 4 year terms can be quite restrictive & they couldn't be corrupted by not being able to run for a IInd term. Odd as Alberta Mayors, Reeves, & Councillors used to only be elected to 1, 2, then later 3 year terms. I don't see a problem with this as it would give opposing forces to a President 2 mid-term chances to seize power in the US House Of Representatives & Senate. And it would dovetail beautifully with Senate races as 1/3rd of the US Senate runs for 6 year terms staggered every 2 years. I don't know how smart the 6 year Presidential idea is as Mexican Presidente Claudia Sheinbaum, National Regeneration Movement-Mexico has a 6 year term from October Ist, MMXXIV-October Ist, MMXXX & cannot run again with her 1 term limit. Mexican gangs continue to bring much violence to that nation which crosses into the rest of North America with drugs, guns, even kidnappings, assaults, & homicides.

Having Complete Confidence

Rory J. Koopmans, B. Admin., #6, 14504-108 Avenue, Edmonton, Alberta T5N 1G8

October XIXth, MMXXV

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

Dear Demetrios:

Having complete confidence in the City Clerk & Returning Officer Aileen Giesbrecht & her team is essential. I have that confidence that the Edmonton Elections will run a fair & clean electoral experience for voters tomorrow. They've adjusted to the Canpost strike very well, & they've also done great in promoting Special Ballots & other voting options. Plus, I have confidence that even with the stupid move back to hand-counting & away from the more efficient tabulators, that Edmonton Elections team members will do a great job in ensuring accuracy with the final voting numbers!

Confidently,

Rory

The Virginian-Republican

Rory J. Koopmans, B. Admin., 15906-100A Avenue, Edmonton, Alberta T5P 0L8

October XVIIIth, MMXXV

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

Dear Demetrios:

Executive Dissertations returns to The Old Dominion State Of Virginia & its IInd of 2 in "The Virginian" Gubernatorial race. To be fair & transparent, I need to get "The Republican Response" from Lt. Gov. Winsome Earle-Seares, Republican-Virginia, her party's Candidate for Governor. Winsome talks about teacher raises, something disputed here in Alberta with the teachers strike.

"I believe the real way to raise wages is by raising value. That's why as Lieutenant Governor, I fought to raise salaries for teachers & support staff."

Led A Men's Prison Ministry,

Rory

The Virginian-Democratic

Rory J. Koopmans, B. Admin.,  15906-100A Avenue, Edmonton, Alberta T5P 0L8

October XVIIth, MMXXV

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

Dear Demetrios:

In The Old Dominion State Of Virginia, we have "The Virginian" Gubernatorial candidates, both running from the State that has produced more US Presidents than any other & comprises along with land donated by neighbour State Of Maryland, Washington City, the Nation's Capital. In her run for Governor as her party's Candidate, Congresswoman Abigail Spanberger, Democratic-Virginia wants to relay thoughts on values. With the teachers strike up here in Alberta I can see parallels.

"We're going to build a Virginia that reflects our shared values - stronger schools, more opportunities for our kids, lower costs for working families, & safer communities."

A Former CIA Officer,

Rory

Ed Broadbent-Candidate Tanille Johnston

October XVIth, MMXXV

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

Dear Demetrios:

Campbell River, British Columbia City Councillor Tanille Johnston take the stage as the IVth Federal New Democratic Candidate for Leader. A truly excellent person to run as she would bring her Ist Nations perspective to the job. Tanille starts off on expensive living costs.

"The cost of living has soared well beyond reason. The dream of a secure future is even more out of reach."

The Garden State Of The Sopranos On The Jersey Shore-Democratic

Rory J. Koopmans, B. Admin., 15906-100A Avenue, Edmonton, Alberta T5P 0L8

October XVth, MMXXV

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

Dear Demetrios:

We return to The Garden State & Congresswoman Mikie Sherill, Democratic-New Jersey is the Candidate for Governor of her party. In addition, she has an honorable military service record & of course must be here at Executive Dissertations to give "The Democratic Response" to her Republican opponent on education. Obviously being "Born In The USA" like native New Jersey born son Bruce Springsteen, she'll have much to say.

Long Branch,

Rory

The Garden State Of The Sopranos On The Jersey Shore-Republican

Rory J. Koopmans, B. Admin., 15906-100A Avenue, Edmonton, Alberta T5P 0L8

October XIVth, MMXXV

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

Dear Demetrios:

In "off-year" Gubernatorial elections, meaning an election writ held in an odd year on the calendar (most US political offices vote in even years such as the MMXXIV Presidential election.) We head to The Garden State & Republican-New Jersey Candidate for Governor Jack Ciattarelli. Jack will tell you that he wants to do things "My Way" like native New Jersey born son Frank Sinatra. So Executive Dissertations gets Jack to comment on high school taxes, a problem here in the Alberta jurisdiction & in many other places.

"The reason why the school tax is so high in New Jersey is because of the way we distribute state aid to our schools we need a new school funding formula."

Hoboken,

Rory
