supporting pipeline development, party loyalty and crossing the floor. Conservative party candidate Shannon Stubbs promised that should she be elected, seniors would not be living in poverty. N D P c a n d i d ate D u a n e Z ar a s k a defended the NDP party saying that the party has brought positive change to Alberta and that NPD’s inherited a mess with regards to the oil industry. “People who blame the NDP party for the oil downturn don’t understand that it’s a world crisis.”
Libertarian Robert McFadzean promises to look at areas in the government system where there is a lot of waste. “Everybody would be better off with a private sector,” said McFadzean. “A Libertarian government would look for a better use of taxpayer funds. With lowers taxes you would get a lot more investment in the private sector and more employment opportunities would open.” “I understand the relationship between energy development and the communities that surround it from my experience in the government department of energy
in the oil sands,” said Conservative party candidate Shannon Stubbs. “ The Conser vative g over nment, through the economic action plan, has focused on ensuring that the economy is in the very best position to provide jobs and the revenue that comes from taxes to provide the programs and services that we value,” added Stubbs. Voters will ultimately decide who the next Lakeland Member of Parliament in the Canadian House of Commons will be when they go to the polls on Election Day, October 19.
