WHAT’S IMPORTANT
Q1: Why should I be nominated?
Mark Warawa has done an exemplary job representing Langley-Aldergrove population in Ottawa. I wish to continue to serve with the same principle of integrity and service. More than ever, people elected to government must hold to the most stringent ethical standard. It’s time to ask the ‘old boys’ club to move ‘over and out’. Let the people speak – through my strong voice on your behalf.
Q2: What issues am I passionate about?
The government must respect me, the voter! Here’s how:
- Respect my money – remember that it came from me, so use it for essential and compassionate services
- Respect my autonomy – I can make my own decisions in my personal life, family, faith – thank you very much!
- Respect private enterprise. Do not compete with my private business. Do not pick winners (and subsequent losers) with my money.
- Make wise decisions for our country based on facts and data. Do not create partisan policies with the goal of re-election or based on popular thinking “fads”. Be bold to step out into Canada’s bright future with the best ideas based on reality!
It is my belief that the Conservative Party of Canada supports these principles. Click here to see the CPC Policy Declaration
Q3: Does being a music teacher have anything to do with serving in Parliament?
Yes, it does. I have practiced problem-solving daily, for over 50 years. In doing so, I’ve learned to think creatively and find a better, innovative, and even beautiful solution to the problem before me. And all the time, in doing so, I have worked to be an inspiration, encouragement and a motivator because I know that I am dealing with real people. All of this while operating my own successful business.
Q4: How has running a business prepared me for this challenge?
- I have practised money management. Knowing that the dollars need to earned, and the dollars need to be spent wisely.
- I have become proficient in organizing, developing systems, and managing schedules. Software and data bases are my friends 🙂
- I have discovered how to keep people engaged; learned to discern felt needs; learned how to bring out the best in each client.
- I have experienced the value of working collaboratively and effectively with motivated people.
Q5: What character attributes qualify me to be the conservative party candidate?
There’s an ancient proverb that goes like this: “Let another praise you and not your own voice.”
“…Very much a people person and perfect for the position.” – Elaine G.
“…Focused thinker, balanced, able to see value in opposing opinions. Articulate. Has common sense.” – Terry B.
“…Has integrity.” – Wendy F.
“…Discerning.” – Lois B.
“…Not afraid to speak the truth. Possesses youthful energy.” – Robert D.
“…Well-read, very positive attitude, lots of energy.” – May S.
“…Personable, persuasive (but you are allowed to say ‘no’ to her – she said so).” – Nico B.
