Meeting with Calgary Conservatives

I made a short trip to Alberta late last week at the invitation of Conservative Party members. I gave a speech on my vision of conservatism before members of the Calgary Centre Association. My esteemed colleague Lee Richardson, who is the MP for this riding, was kind enough to introduce me for the occasion. The video and text of this speech will soon be available on this blog.

I always find it very interesting to exchange with people involved in the party from other regions of the country about their perceptions and preoccupations. Incidentally, I also met with officials of the MacKenzie gas pipeline project, who gave me an overview of it. This important $7-billion project would link natural gas producing wells in the MacKenzie river delta to the Alberta pipeline network, through the Northwest Territories. It would mean a major investment for the economy of the West.
