My vision is to put the needs of the Lethbridge area above everything else. I’ll vote for what is in Lethbridge’s best interests, not a party’s best interests.
Affordability & Childcare
Canada Child Benefit
Replace the Canada Child Benefit with a guaranteed livable income.
Cell & Internet Bills
Canada should have a public telecom company. It could subsidize the costs of cellphone service, making it cheaper for the consumers.
Childcare
Canada should have universal childcare.
Food & Nutrition
Food prices aren’t the problem in Lethbridge. Having the lowest median wage in the province is the problem.
Guaranteed Livable Income
Canada should have a guaranteed livable income.
Minimum Wage
This is a provincial issue.
People with Disabilities
We must do a better job of supporting people of all levels of ability.
Climate Change & the Environment
Emissions Reductions Targets
We will not meet our net-zero targets unless we start focusing on reducing consumption. Canada must make this easier for consumers to do.
Energy Efficient Buildings
We should be trying to be improving the energy efficiency of all buildings.
Energy Sources
Hydrogen production should be primarily, if not exclusively, green hydrogen.
Fossil Fuel Subsidies
We should eliminate all forms of subsidies to fossil fuel companies, but it must be in concert with infrastructure that will help consumers transition to a greener economy (such as a more robust public transportation option for rural communities).
Waste
We must reduce how much waste ends up in landfills, through a combination of reusing, recycling, and reducing waste, both consumers and institutions.
Education
Post-Secondary Tuition
Postsecondary education should be tuition free.
Health & Healthcare
Access to Abortion
Every pregnant person should have access to abortion, if it is something they choose. At the same time, if they choose pregnancy, they should have all the support they need. Same goes for abortion, and for contraception. We must support everyone in their reproductive choices.
Future Pandemics
We must have infrastructure in place to be able to manufacture our own vaccines, PPEs, and other pandemic needs. We must also make sure health care systems are designed for optimal capacity, not for just-in time provisions.
Palliative Care
This should be provided through public institutions, not private corporations.
Housing & Homelessness
Homelessness
Canada must return to building social housing at rates that we were 30 years ago.
Housing Prices
We must limit real estate speculation
Human Rights & Equality
Conversion Therapy
As someone who was forced to believe I was straight for over 45 years, I support banning conversion therapy.
Gender Equity
We need universal childcare and 100% parental leave. Also, women need to be paid equal to what their men coworkers are.
The Blood Ban
As someone who was banned from donating blood for over 20 years, I support abolishing the blood ban.
Enjeux divers
Financial Advice & Institutions
I think Canada Post should start providing banking services.

Lethbridge and area needs a representative who isn’t distracted by party politics, who will worry only about representing the people, not the party.
