Lacombe-Ponoka NDP candidate asks, “Who do you trust?”

Hart points out oil prices continued to slide until 2016, with thousands losing their jobs in the process.

Hart states 80 per cent of Alberta’s exports are petroleum and oil and gas products, adding its concerning when producing a product costs more than it does to sell it, further fueling the need for diversification.

Hart says the UCP’s proposals on tax giveaways, climate change and the social conservative agenda are also concerning, warning they would erode the personal rights and freedoms of Albertans.

“Recently, the agenda of social conservativism is on people’s minds,” says Hart. “Kenney’s proposals would undermine women’s reproductive rights, it would ‘out’ gay children from GSA’s, those are only some reasons we don’t want Kenney as our Premier. I think that the NDP government, given the hand they were dealt, has done a wonderful job investing in infrastructure, protecting rights and freedoms, building schools all of that.”

Hart feels his experience in the public sector gives him an advantage in this election campaign, asking voters to ask themselves, “Who do you trust?”

“I have 50 years’ experience in the public sector,” declares Hart. “I’m a professional nurse, I’ve taught, I’ve administered in the post-secondary system, I’ve worked at RDC, the Red Deer Regional Hospital, Grand Prairie College but I’ve always made my home in Ponoka. I am an ardent community activist, I’ve always been involved in minor hockey, minor ball, cubs, scouts and my wife is the face of Girl Guides in Central Alberta. We are heavily invested in community development and social activism.”

“I have chaired the NDP rural caucus for four years,” continues Hart. “I’ve lived in small town Alberta all my life. I think I know what the issues are and I think living in small town Alberta for 60 years makes me a good candidate to represent people’s interests.”
