I love helping people, listen to what is important and their concern. I hope they give me a chance to do that

I lived in Manitoba for more than 40 years. I’ ve seen it’s ups and downs and broken promises by politicians. I want to find out why some simple things that looks easy is very hard for them to do. I’m ready for the challenges that will be in front of me and find the proper solutions.

Lower the PST to 5%. Kill the photo radar. Give $20,000 basic personal exemption and $40,000 per couple. Make 90% of education funds to be spent in schools. Reduce condo property taxes. Remove PST from applicable insurance policies. Give 10% flat tax on personal and business income after basic personal and small business deductions.

Help the people anyway I can, and serve as an honest MLA. Our streets should be more safer. Try to understand our panhandlers on the streets and give them the necessary help. Introduce more ways to encourage people to physical activities, like more bikeways, more community sports. Find better ways and means of recycling everything.

Help and serve the community honestly
