6 J u l y 1 4 ' 1 6 C o r o n a t i o n / S t e t t l e r , A b . E C A r e v i e w R R R R R Published by Coronation Review Limited ON THE OTHER HAND Lord of the Right by B.P. Schimke One has to wonder if Preston Manning isn’t behind the current scheme to unite the right under Jason Kenney. It would certainly not be surprising as it was Manning’s failed scheming that brought Danielle Smith and Jim Prentice together, and the subsequent victory of Rachel Notley. It seems quite ironic that Manning and his gang are so anxious to unite the right. He was the brain child behind the creation and evolution of the Reform Party which smashed the “big umbrella” right apart and reduced the Progressive Conservatives to only two seats in the House of Commons in 1993. “ Jason Kenney, seeing the writing on the wall federally has now named himself the saviour of the right in Alberta. Give Stephen Harper his due, as a far right leader he successfully brought the right together for a decade. Yet his governance required dictatorial control which led to misstep after misstep and the eventual stunning victory by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. A far right successor to Stephen Harper appears to be highly unlikely as all the current Conservative federal leadership candidates lean more to the 72 pt East Central Alberta EVIEW 60 pt 48 pt 36 pt V I E W P O I N T S middle than the far right. Jason Kenney, seeing the writing on the wall federally has now named himself the saviour of the right in Alberta. Kenney has chosen to come into Alberta and declare that he will run for the Progressive Conservatives when, in fact, his ideology puts him squarely in the Wildrose camp. Of course, he’s planning a coup and I have little doubt Preston Manning is behind this one, no lest transparent than his last attempt. Their story has been written. First, Kenney will win the Progressive Conservative leadership and then swoop up the Wildrose Party and become the new lord of the right. His actions, his arrogance is so wrong on so many fronts. First, he is not a progressive and has already said if he wins the PC leadership, he would immediately dismantle the “progressive”. Second, if he wins the PC leadership he would immediately negotiate a marriage with the Wildrose Party and run for the leadership of his new party. This sickening attempt by Jason Kenney is a complete insult to both Progressive Conservative and Wildrose Party members. It is a particular affront to Brian Jean, the Wildrose MLAs and their party members who have faithfully stuck together through the Danielle Smith betrayal and went on to become the Official Opposition despite everything. Let’s hope both Progressive Conservative and Wildrose grassroots members will tell Jason Kenney and his behind-the-scenes power brokers just where to go! Police are role models Cont’d from Pg 4 “The police and mentors serve as role models and teach character, integrity, respect, honesty and compassion throughout all the activities,” said Lacombe Big Brothers Big Sisters (BBBS) Director Crystal Zens. “This program inspires youth to think of policing as a future career and teach what it takes to achieve it. Also raising community-minding citizens for the future.” The camp was created from scratch by Lacombe BBBS Director Crystal Zens and her husband Lacombe Police Cst. Bryan Zens. The program only has space for 24 youth each year and according to Zens, “Historically we have a wait list.” Youth who participated came from Alix, Clive, Lacombe County, Lacombe, Blackfalds, Eckville and Bentley. The inaugural year of Kids N’ Kops Camp was 2008. The camp is a collaborative, “ preventative program for youth. Lacombe and District BBBS has held joint camps in Blackfalds for the past six years. The youth had a week packed full of fun activities including, a murder mystery in Blackfalds, a police obstacle course in Blackfalds’ Tayles Park, Red Deer Bower pond boat races, laser tag, a K-9 demonstration at the Innisfail RCMP Detachment, police dodge ball and surveillance scenarios and police community scenarios like drunk driving, shop lifting, graffiti and drug dealing at the Lacombe Memorial Centre. “The Murder Mystery at After the Grind was new and the kids loved it,” said Crystal Zens. The youth graduated at a ceremonial barbecue with family and dignitaries on July 7 at Lacombe’s Burman University. Lacombe’s Kids N’ Kops program won the 2013 Solicitor General Award for Crime Prevention.

The AR-15 is an assault rifle, and no matter what Snell and his Canadian Rifle Association/National Rifle Association (CRA/NRA) supporters say, that weapon is dangerous, and the vast majority of Canadians don’t want them in our society. Mr. Snell fails to mention that the NRA has been working hard to prevent any meaningful gun legislation being introduced by state and federal authorities. They always cite the Second Amendment right to bear arms, but fail to mention that they oppose background checks, even for anyone listed on terrorists’ watch lists, or to impose legislation on gun shows where anyone can buy weapons without any background checks. The NRA is in the business of selling fear and selling weapons, and using fear mongering instead of logic to imply that gun registration is the next step by the government to imposing dictatorial rule like the Nazis in Germany and the Communists in Russia. That is like equating apples to oranges. We live in a civilized society where we are expected to register for many things, like registering to vote, registering our insurance policies in order to obtain our vehicle licenses, registering our certifications so that we can become doctors, lawyers, teachers, pilots, etc. Do we want these professions to be unlicensed and unregulated? So what if Mr. Snell doesn’t want to Gayle Jaraway MARKETING 403-578-4111 advertise@ECAreview.com Joyce Webster Publisher/Editor publisher@ECAreview.com fill-out his census form. Big deal! The sovereignists, the neo-Nazis, the KKK and other white supremacists groups also don’t want to be governed by the same rules as the rest of us. Mr. Snell, like the CRA/NRA and several members of Harper’s government, wants us to believe that the AR-15 and other military-style weapons are safe, and they should be sold in Canada. Tell that to the victims of mass shootings in America where, on average, a mass shooting occurs every day (a mass shooting in America means at least four people are shot, injured or killed per day). Australia banned them and most western European countries have banned them as well. In Switzerland and Israel, citizens can carry them, but they are part of organized, regulated militias, unlike in America where there are dozens of unregulated heavily armed militia groups. The NRA fails to mention that in the Second Amendment a “regulated militia be maintained for the security of a free state”. Seven states have enacted laws preventing the sale and ownership of assault rifles like the AR-15 and AK-47s, and the US Supreme Court have upheld their rights to do so. Other states, but not in the South, are planning to do the same since the US federal government can’t do it because of the opposition by the NRA and by the Republican Party (the conservative party in America).
