The United Conservative Party, being less than a month old, is still in its infancy but it has officially been christened by its first bozo eruption. Derek Fildebrandt, MLA for Strathmore – Brooks, was found to have been renting out his taxpayer funded apartment in Edmonton through AirBnB for personal […]
I was a member of the Air Cadets for over a decade. A big part of the cadet and military service is learning about leadership. As I recall, leadership was defined as motivating others to do what you want them to do. As I’ve grown in my professional […]
