Six candidates are vying for your vote on May 29, hoping to be Livingstone-Macleod’s next MLA. All were invited to submit a piece outlining their election platform for publication in Shootin’ the Breeze.

It’s been a long time since politicians have been public servants. It seems to me every four years they come around making promises they don’t ever keep.

Parents’ and guardians’ rights to make decisions for their own children will be respected and honoured.
