David MacLeod was elected to be the Liberal candidate for the riding of Central Nova on Saturday.
David MacLeod
I served in the Canadian Forces for twenty-seven years, the candidate said. I am pleased to be able to continue to serve.
MacLeod is a 49-year old veteran, husband and father. In 1982, he enrolled in the military at the age of seventeen. He spent the first seventeen years in the infantry, and the last ten years of his career in military intelligence, before being discharged in 2010. He served in several missions including Cyprus, Bosnia and Kosovo. He played a key role in the NORAD closure and control of North American airspace during the 9/11 terror attacks. Between 2003 and 2007, he partook in operations in SW Asia and within Afghanistan.
A member of the Conservative Party at the time, he became disenchanted with the right wing direction the party had moved and switched to the Liberal Party in June of this year.
I still believe in being fiscally responsible, said the candidate, but am convinced that the Harper Government lacks the vision that Canada needs to be successful.
According to Employment and Social Development Canada, the unemployment rate in Eastern Nova Scotia is 15.5%. With high unemployment, young people are moving out west to find work. Those that remain are only getting older. To build strong, healthy communities, we need to create decent paying jobs right here in Nova Scotia, for people of every generation, said MacLeod.
MacLeod suggests that the ridings federal representative, Conservative MP Peter MacKay, is a part of the problem in moving to create a strong economy in rural Nova Scotia. Hes an absentee cabinet minister who spends more time in Ottawa than he does in New Glasgow, Pictou or Antigonish, said MacLeod.
Noting there are fewer ribbon cuttings to attend, the candidate said that to improve the local economy of Central Nova, government at all levels need to work together.
Alberta Liberals ushered in a slate of new and controversial progressive policies Saturday, backing a move to teach the concept of sexual consent in Alberta schools and endorsing restrictions on advertising alcohol to young Albertans.
About 100 party members attending the policy convention at Edmontons Chateau Nova Hotel said it should not be profitable for payday and car title loan companies to operate in Alberta and that Alberta Treasury Branches should offer low-interest, short-term credit to vulnerable Albertans who need smaller loans.
Liberals also voted to make municipal political contributions eligible for tax receipts just as provincial and federal political contributions are and to appoint an independent environmental commissioner who reports to the legislature.
Some of the most intense debate Saturday concerned a move to ban the practice of economic withholding, in which power producers take power plants off-line for discretionary shutdowns, which invariably leads to electricity price spikes, the policy said.
An amendment tied the popular policy to the introduction of so-called smart grids, which improve efficiency and reliability of power distribution.
After some debate, past-president Todd Van Vliet told members that in passing the resolution with the smart grid amendment, we tie our hands, and implement a complete disaster.
As a result, the policy was put on hold until the next policy convention.
Liberals also repealed the partys controversial fuel excise tax policy, which called for the doubling of Albertas gas tax from nine cents per litre to 18 cents per litre. The policy made waves when it passed last year, with one Liberal calling it political suicide.
The Liberal Party was Albertas official opposition until the 2012 provincial election, when the Wildrose took over opposite the Progressive Conservative. Since then, two Calgary MLAs Kent Hehr and Darshan Kang have announced they will leave the Liberal party to run for Justin Trudeaus federal Liberals.
The party stumbled in early 2014 when Elections Alberta deregistered 53 of its 87 constituency associations because they failed to file their annual financial statements.
