Riding Mountain
Twenty years ago I arrived in rural Manitoba, full of naive city ideas on farming. I’ve learned a lot since then. Working in schools, the general store, the highway diner, and the Arts Council, I’ve seen communities aging out, farms becoming larger, and people angry that they don’t have a voice.
I have strong beliefs about wilderness protection, human rights and a voice for the prairies. The Green Party best reflects my values. Getting off the couch and running in an election is the perfect way to find and network with like-minded people, and spread hope that we can do better.
ACCOMPLISHMENTS
I’ve been the CAO of the Portage-Lisgar EDA for 15+ years, working mostly behind the scenes, networking and organizing. Recently annexed to Riding Mountain, I’m currently working on policies to create and maintain wilderness corridors and wildlands.
GOALS
People don’t know how they are going to survive inflation and the uncertainty of the future.
They’re concerned with finding affordable housing. They’re concerned about the bush and landmarks being pushed, forests logged, and lakes contaminated with invasive species. One wise woman I met observed that Riding Mountain looks like it has mange. I propose tax cuts for farmers who keep the bush. And as people struggle to find affordable housing, I argue that we should have adaptable codes that allow people to decide what they want to live in, and rezone marginal lands to allow homesteading, and grow our struggling rural communities. Proportional Representation will give voice to the Prairies. Fair taxation and Universal Basic Income, a program that was proven successful right here, in Dauphin, as Mincome, in the late ’70s, can close the income gap. Health care access can be improved with stable funding for indigenous-led health services, mobile health clinics, and expanded telemedicine in remote and rural communities.
There is a global economic reset underway, and once again, green initiatives are getting thrown under the bus. We CAN grow a healthy, clean economy AND move away from fossil fuels. It’s not an either/or situation. Now is the time to double down on green, because the old ways clearly are not working.
