R e a l E s t a t e / H o m e s 8 J a n u a r y 3 1 ' 1 9 H a n n a / 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 mail bag Lobbying is a competitive business Dear Editor, Approximately 10 per cent of Alberta’s 18,000 beef producers participated in the recent plebiscite on the Alberta Beef Producer’s checkoff and by a margin of 51.7 per cent to 48.3 per cent chose to retain the freedom to ask for a refund. Now let’s get to work on our shared goal of telling the positive story of beef while enhancing the wellbeing of producers, consumers and our province. One of Ralph Klein’s most cynical observations was: “Show me a big enough parade, and I will be happy to lead it.” He knew what he was saying. Frankly, the goal of every single outside organization in public affairs is to create a parade, either real or imagined. Politicians don’t lead, they follow. People call this sort of activity lobbying. Fair enough. It is a competitive business, especially with so many government favours available to the persistent and persuasive. Lobbyists outnumber politicians in every capital city in the free world including Canada. Our country has more than a trillion and a half dollars of public debt and growing because most of them are lobbying for more government, not less. Politicians live well. Lobbyists live better. Taxpayers and their grandchildren get the bill. What to do? What should be done? I say it is time to lobby for less government. I don’t mean “lobbying” in the sense of whispering in the ears of the powerful. Quite the reverse! I ‘mean’ talking to the public, intelligently and persistently. I believe my friends in the conservative movement, the Alberta Beef Producers and the energy industry made a mistake believing that their hopes and dreams could be achieved if only they were “at the table” and a “friend of the government.” Consider those pipeline companies that spent three billion dollars on the pipeline approval process “playing the game.” There’s not a spade in the ground on the major projects like Trans Mountain. The big government game isn’t one we can win. However, the left can and they are! They’re a patient and tireless lot with a plan, a clear vision of where they want to go and how they want to get there. Look (as in Google) at the 1933 Regina Manifesto, and give them credit. They didn’t think they would get what they wanted by being quiet insiders. They set out to change public opinion, to make noise, to create a parade politicians would lead, and it worked. Now, what can beef producers, taxpayers, the energy industry and others learn from their success so we can change the ‘game’ and get a better outcome? Our answer is to study how change occurs, study history and attend the upcoming Essentials of Freedom conference the Economic Education Association (EEA) has slated for Feb 8 - 9 in Calgary. Speakers at the “Things That Hosting A Large Open House! Mon., Tues. & Wed. Feb. 11, 12 & 13 Noon - 5 pm Introducing 3 New Options to Lacombe’s Premier Lakeside Community.

Colbray Homes 403-396-3124 www.colbrayhomes.com Matter: An Agenda for Alberta” Conference will discuss how change occurs, how citizen/taxpayer involvement is critical to restoring sanity to Alberta’s budget, and how sound economic policy is crucial to recreating the Alberta Advantage. See more info at freedomtalk.ca. Lobbying is a competitive business and right now, anti-beef, anti-energy lobbyists are winning the competition. Meat tax anyone? Join us, help us give citizens/taxpayers the information they need to defend our producers. Squeeze An informed electorate can turn the tide. Alberta’s producing industries are the best in the world and, to borrow a phrase, what is good for the beef and energy industries, is good for Alberta. If you eat, please help us compete.

ECA Review/Submitted Politics Chase Brown announces Alberta Party candidacy Terri Huxley ECA Review Chase Brown of Hussar, Ab. has entered the political race under the Alberta Party against incumbent MLA Nathan Cooper for the Olds- Didsbury-Three Hills riding. Brown is in his fourth year attending the University of Alberta at the Augustana Campus in Camrose and is about to obtain a Bachelor of Management with a Major in Economics. He will be completing his schooling later this year. Although a full time student, Brown holds residency in the Brown Wintering Hills north of Hussar and is proud to be a fourth generation rancher in Alberta. “I’m a community guy and I am passionate about my community and I’m dedicated to staying in my community as I progress through my career in life,” said Brown. “I’m not planning on extraditing myself down east or anywhere for work. I’m planning on staying right here at home.” He chose the Alberta Party after assessment of the political climate as well as reflecting on established values including transparency and fiscal responsibility. “Officially we are a centrist party. What that translates to is we are both socially and fiscally responsible so we understand and recognize that the current government has a spending problem but we don’t believe that cutting funding for our social programs is going to grow our economy. A lot of these budget cuts and slashes that other parties are proposing I am not attracted to and I would personally draw on the Alberta Party because of their dedication to transparency,” said Brown. During his time at university, Brown alongside Camrose Lawyer Steven Hansen and Kevin Smook, Camrose riding Alberta Party representative, established the Alberta Party Constituency Association which was purely volunteer based. They first started with 40 members which quickly increased to 340 members. “We were able to grow that in under a year and we had a wonderful nomination contest between Stephen and Kevin and it was really just a wonderful experience seeing democracy carried out and Albertans having their say and seeing everybody getting involved - the momentum that we started to grow,” he said. Stephen Mandell, the Alberta Party Leader and former mayor of Edmonton, recommended Brown become the candidate for the Olds- Didsbury-Three Hills constituency. With the Alberta Party, Brown claims there is ‘no strings attached’ as they put Albertans first. “We are here to win. We are not here to be the runner up. It’s too much to be in it for fun and games. We are here to win and we are committed to running a full fleet of 87 candidates in 87 constituencies.” Brown encourages anyone with questions or comments to email him at chase.brown@albertaparty.ca.
