Vermilion And The 1921 Election

first, 1921. From 1905 to 1921, Alberta was led by the Liberal Party but then a new party emerged and galvanized voters, the United Farmers of Alberta.

Since 1905, the Vermilion riding had also been held by a Liberal MLA. First there was Matthew McCauley from 1905 to 1906, then James Bismark Holden from 1906 to 1909, Archibald Campbell from 1909 to 1910 and Arthur Sifton, the premier, from 1910 to 1917. Arthur Ebbett was the incumbent when the 1921 election came along. Running against Ebbett was a new man named Richard Gavin Reid. He had come from Manitoba and served on the municipal council of Buffalo Coulee, and was instrumental in the

Humanity has always been fascinated by the idea of living forever, and many have spent fortunes in search of the elusive fountain of youth. The latest addition to this list of eccentric individuals is Bryan Johnson, a 48-year-old tech entrepreneur who claims to be reversing his own aging process.

Johnson's obsession with reversing founding of the Vermilion municipal housing district. He also served as reeve for a nearby district.

In the July 18, 1921 election, Reid joined the rest of the United Farmers of Alberta in the Legislature when he won his riding with 75.89 per cent of the vote and 2,955 votes, well ahead of Ebbett who had only 939 votes.

The Calgary Herald said of the election, “Of the new members Baker of Medicine Hat and Reid of Vermilion are regarded as men of outstanding ability and probably will not be passed over.”

After this election, the Liberal Party has, to date, never formed government again in Alberta. Reid also eventually served as the premier of Alberta from 1934 to 1935.

That being said, a Liberal was elected in the Vermilion riding once more in 1955, with Russell Whitson serving until 1959.

Breaking the Boundaries of Aging

aging began when he sold his business to PayPal for a reported $800 million. With a newly fortune at his disposal, he began pouring millions of dollars into various tests, colonoscopies, MRI scans, blood tests, and other examinations that determined his biological age.

With the help of a team of over 30 doctors and experts, Johnson then set about figuring out how to get his body back to an earlier age. They analyzed mass studies of the scientific literature and created clinical guidelines before

And even if these drugs don't kill him eventually, only having reduced his biological age by 5 years is well within the realms of improvement someone might see from just exercising and eating healthy.

According to Johnson, his biological age is around five years younger than his actual age, and for every calendar year, he's supposedly only aging nine months. This data was gathered and analyzed at an organ-by-organ level and compared to what it would look like for a healthy person aged 10, 20, 30, and 40.

Johnson's daily routine is now the result of partaking in this process, and it is nothing short of grueling. He wakes up at 4:30 am and completes 35 different exercises, takes a list of supplements, undergoes daily body fat scans, routine MRIs, and often invasive blood and stool sample tests to see the biological age of his organs. He has 100 different protocols embedded in his day, all pre-planned by his medical team. Many of the medical procedures and drugs he takes on a daily basis are fully experimental and are absolutely not available to the public. Some of these drugs haven't even made it to human tests yet and of course many of these tests and procedures are prohibitively expensive.

For those who would like a taste of immortality Johnson has been sharing his experimental "Blueprint Project" online. While his efforts are undoubtedly fascinating, many remain skeptical of his claims. Given the experimental nature

Squeeze

Johnson's obsession with reversing aging comes at the expense of comfort, and his daily routine should not be something to aspire to recreate. While there is no denying the allure of living forever, it remains to be seen whether or not it is truly possible. For now, we can only watch as Bryan Johnson continues to serve as a walking test subject to feed our curiosities.
