Newspaper articles, Rutherford Show exposure, phone calls, word-of-mouth, enlisting of friends and family....all of these contributed to a successful literature drop in Mill Woods on August 22. The object of this drop: exposing the broken election promises of Carl Benito the Progressive Conservative who, unfortunately, was elected in this constituency. But he won’t be again as the constituency will be back in the fold of the Alberta Liberal Party after the next election!
The International Federation of Liberal Youth (IFLRY) wrapped up meetings today in St. Petersburg on Sunday by electing Mateusz Trybowski from the Alberta Young Liberals (AYL) as a new Bureau Vice-President.
The Mill Woods Constituency Association is already gearing itself up for the next election. We have a number of projects on the go ourselves, and also in conjunction with ALP. In chronological order, we, along with ALP, are presently engaged in an effort to reveal to the public the duplicity practiced by the PC MLA Carl Benito. As a result of Maurice Tougas’s two explosive articles in SEE Magazine, followed by Trish Audette’s and Graham Thompson’s Journal articles, followed by two Rutherford Show discussions, Benito is under fire for broken promises...big ones. Members of our association have provided Maurice with information and correspondence revealing Benito’s intransigence. In addition, members in Mill Woods have written letters to the editor of the Journal and provided information to Rutherford in order to keep the issue bubbling.
The Alberta Liberal Party (ALP) executive has appointed Debbie Cavaliere as Interim President. Cavaliere was formerly the party’s Vice President, Policy and was a key figure in organizing the party’s recent policy convention in Edmonton.
