2019 will see 2 elections, possibly a by-election. Does it matter who’s name is on the ballot in Red Deer.
2019 will give us at least 2 elections. A Provincial Election and a Federal Election. If a city councillor or a school board trustee runs and gets elected, provincially or federally, we could be faced with an expensive by-election.
In the upcoming Provincial election it will be a race between the governing NDPs and the Conservatives. Does it matter who’s name is on the ballot in Red Deer? No, because they are just going to be back-bench seat warmers. They will not be in cabinet. The elected person will be told when and how to vote. They may be given lucrative appointments to committees where they will be told how to vote.
The upcoming Federal election will be between the governing Liberals and the Conservatives. Does it matter who’s name is on the ballot in Red Deer? No, because again they just going to be back-bench seat warmers. Well compensated for their time but still at the beck and call of their political masters.
The nominees will campaign and make promises to the voters but they will answer to their political leaders. Their main objective, if elected, will be to promote the party.
Our hospital is chronically under-staffed, under-funded, and under equipped. Ambulances often times rerouted to Lacombe. We have poorest air quality in Canada for years. Our crime rate has been in the top ten, nationally, in many polls. We haven’t had a swimming pool or indoor skating rink built north of the river in 40 years.
The last school that was to be built in Johnstone Park but politicians decided it should be built in Inglewood instead. There has never been a high school north of the river where approximately 1/3 the students live, and the politicians decided that there should be 5 high schools east of 30 Ave. between 29 &69 Street.
Does it really matter who’s name is on the ballot in Red Deer?
Apparently not.
Prime Minister Mark Carney tabled his government’s long-overdue budget yesterday and took the same approach as his predecessor – spend, spend, spend.
Canada’s deficit is now a staggering $78 BILLION. To make matters worse, Carney doubled down on the industrial carbon tax.

US Eating Canada’s Lunch While Liberals Stall – Trump Admin Announces Record-Shattering Energy Report
From the Daily Caller News Foundation
By Audrey Streb
The Department of Energy (DOE) touted a report on Wednesday which states that America broke records in liquefied natural gas (LNG) exports.
The U.S. became the first country to export over 10 million metric tonnes of LNG in one month in October, Reuters reported on Monday, citing preliminary data from the financial firm LSEG. The DOE posted on X on Wednesday that “there are big opportunities ahead for U.S. natural gas” and has consistently championed LNG in a sharp departure from former President Joe Biden’s crackdown on the resource.
“The fact that America’s oil and gas industry was able to pass this stunning milestone is impressive considering all the roadblocks to progress which were thrown up by the Biden administration,” David Blackmon, an energy and policy writer who spent 40 years in the oil and gas business, told the Daily Caller News Foundation. “It is a testament to both the resilience and innovative mindset of the industry and to the phenomenal wealth of America’s natural gas resource.”

🗣️RECORD BREAKING: For the first time, U.S. LNG exports are projected to surpass 10 million metric tons in a single month. There are big opportunities ahead for U.S. natural gas!
— U.S. Department of Energy (@ENERGY) November 5, 2025
Two facilities in Louisiana and Texas are responsible for the LNG export surge, according to Reuters. The U.S. LNG industry emerged as an energy sector giant in recent decades, with America now leading the world in LNG exports after being projected to be a net importer as late as 2010, according to S&P Global.
The Biden administration enacted a freeze on new LNG export permits and “intentionally buried a lot of data and released a skewed study to discredit the benefits of American LNG,” the DCNF previously reported. The environmental lobby applauded Biden’s January 2024 freeze on new LNG export terminals, though critics argued that the policy stalled investment, would not reduce emissions and undermined America’s global strategic interests.
In contrast, President Donald Trump sought opportunities to bolster LNG and reversed the new permit pause through a day-one executive order. Some energy policy experts told the DCNF that the reported milestone highlights the resiliency of the industry and the benefit of Trump’s “American energy dominance” agenda.
