It was great to catch up with Michael Walters today. He is the former organizer for the Greater Edmonton Alliance and now working as an organizer for the new Alberta Party. The announcement of his appointment is out today I believe.
He had an interesting observation in our conversation. He said, “The fuel in your private life is love. The fuel in your public life is leverage.” One would feel very empty without love for sure. As for leverage, that is what is missing for many Albertans these days. Our recent conjoint study at Cambridge Strategies found that 51% of Albertan’s did not believe their provincial government listened to them. There was also 51% who feel like their opinions do not matter to their government. So much for the same old same old consultation processes.
Michael was an active participant in RebootAlberta 2.0 so I expect he will becoming to RebootAlberta 3.0 November 5-6 in Edmonton too. RebootAlberta 3.0 is all about Taking Action to get progressive values back into the political agenda for Alberta. Join us in making a difference.
