District 4 Belfast Murray River strawberries and ice cream social was a success with lots of people and candidates. Once again the conversation is showing Islanders are looking for change and I don't just mean PCs. Questions from Islanders are direct and probing, Islanders are becoming engaged and want to discuss issues, and how we will deal with the deficit, health care and keeping our economy going.
The event was an opportunity for me to assure residents of Southern Kings to my commitment of keeping the ferry running. I also shared with others my plan to have a renewable energy policy that benefits Islanders. On the economy and rural development, I shared with people, information on the work I am doing with the Island Grain and Protein Council to help revive agriculture by value-adding commodity crops with products for overseas markets that I have been able to identify.
Of course, it was also great to see some of my old friends from school days and new friends whom I met during our fight to save our schools.
The strawberries were also great!
Thanks to those who organized the event.
However, here is what I don't understand. The idea of conservatism is rather pushing back to the past, and privatized economy. Would change perphaps be more progressive and left-wing than the political ideas of the PCs?
