WHAT’S IMPORTANT
Q1: 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 services
- Respect my autonomy – I can make my own decisions in my personal life, family, faith
- Respect private enterprise. Don’t compete with my business or pick winners and losers
- 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”
It is my belief that the Conservative Party of Canada supports these principles. Click here to see the CPC Policy Declaration
Q2: 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.
Q3: How has running a business prepared me for this challenge?
- learning 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.
- As I am in business for myself, I have discovered how to keep people engaged, learned to discern their needs in order to serve them better.
- I have experienced the value of working collaboratively and effectively with motivated people.
Q4: What character attributes qualify me to be the conservative party candidate?
Here is a great piece of advice I have always tried to follow: “Let another praise you and not your own mouth.”
