David Swann is the elected member of the Alberta Legislature for Calgary Mountain View and the Liberal Opposition critic for the Executive Council (Premier's office) and Health & Wellness.
David with stupid u-tube videos like this one, I can’t wait to the next election to get a real representative that may do some real good like lowering taxes. David don’t forget who puts food on all of Ab, and Canadians table, it sure is not our goverment, Seirra Club, Suzuki or any other money taking groups.
No what those groups do is try to save our planet for future generations to enjoy, how irresponsible of them. But you’re right we should all be concerned about getting more money, that will save our planet. When your great-grandchildren are gasping for a breath of fresh air at least they’ll have some food on their table, imported from China no doubt.
We are liberal supporters for ideas and future of Alberta and canada in General.
We are very happy to support you.

I wonder if “overtaxed” is overfed with brain-numbing toxic chemicals in all the food that he or she is so grateful for. Maybe he or she is already so dependent on Big Pharma’s prescription narcotics, anti-depressants, anti-psychotics, that even considering these controls as anti-thetical to nature and natural reasoning, that fathoming healthier alternatives than “round-up ready” hydrogenated canola oil in and on foods, and continuing Tar-Sands exploitation to attempt to cater mainly to American-imposed Multinational controls, is beyond his or her ability to recognize and integrate as causal factors in cancer, diabetes, and death.
As a middle-aged mother who 6 years ago had every cent I ever earned or saved taken by corrupt government officials involved in exploitation, but survived entirely on charity by working for charities, I think people who deem themselves as “overtaxed” are either very ignorant of Revenue Canada statistics, or plain greedy.
David..please read, at least, some material on global warming before you press ahead with the same idiotic green s@&T plan that sunk Dion..actual, what am i thinking..please do go ahead with your carbon tax…Bye-bye David..just like your leader Dion..
hey Ulrich,
here’s an there’s always a room for moderate opinions, and what yor saying is pretty ignorant. David is the enviroment critic, he’s doing his job. And just FYI the Provincial Alberta Liberals party is different then the Federal Liberal party so Dion has NOTHING to do with the provincial liberals. Maybe you should read some facts.

Irony or Just Ironic?
Dear Mr Swann
Perhaps you or some of your fellow bloggers (if that is the right term) can help me with something. What is the diiference between “that’s irony’ vs. “that’s ironic”.
While talking with my daughter today (who has been living in Quebec the past few years and loving it)…. I asked her what was in the news there . .
She told me the big scandal was all about a 25% drop in their pension funds value (about 40 billion or so lost… she wasn’t sure) when similar funds only lost an average of 18% (28 billion or so if 40 billion is correct). Because it was more than the average loss in similar funds the people were up in arms, wanting answers, accountability, “whose responsible”.
She asked about here at home and the only thing that came to mind was our billion dollar deficit in the news and that I had heard somewhere it really wasn’t a deficit just a shortfall or something like that I wasn’t sure. I never feel I get to hear the whole truth about anything in the news. At any rate no one was up in arms about anything here that I know of and maybe we are too rich and prosperous.
She then suggested it might rather be our “conservative culture” here in contrast to Quebec’s culture being more left wing and socialistic.
Upon further reflection some differences between Quebec and Alberta have come to mind and I don’t know if it is Irony? or Just Ironic.
1. We have no equivalent to QPP here….. We could never lose that kind of money in the first place because our “conservative” government has never saved that kind of cash in it’s life. I believe that the pension contributions from all government employees have been going into the general revenue pot and pension cheques coming out.
If this is true we must not believe in saving even our own government employees pension contribution money and investing it. Irony? or Just Ironic.
No one I know or work with seems to care about it so i guess its ok because we’re richer than Quebec? 40 billion? Irony or Just Ironic.
2. The Heritage Savings fund…… I’m not sure but I think that the difference between the 18% vs 25% loss in their pension fund’s value is greater than the total value of our Heritage fund. Irony? or Just Ironic. Or maybe embarrasing.
3. Resource revenues……I wonder where all of our money went over the years…. I’m sure there is a good explanation, however we have seem to have trouble managing our wealth with an eye to the future. Irony? or Just Ironic
Quebec’s scandal could never happen here, we have not been able to handle our wealth yet . Irony? or Just Ironic.,……..I should have paid more attention in English Class.

There is a long road to travel before we could lose that much invested cash.

Wow. This is one brainwashed kid.

What a cute kid . . . too bad you have filled her head with things that just arn’t so!!!
9:15 am on February 9th, 2007
Glad to see that the Alberta Liberals are using a 7 year old as a policy advisor. I’m shocked you haven’t won an election since 1917.

That kid doesn’t even know what she’s reading.

Thank you Gilian for eloquently expressing that:
WE CAN’T EAT MONEY AND WE CAN’T DRINK OIL.
The world belongs to our children and they will inherit what we do and what we don’t do.
Just be good and responsible human beings.
5:47 am on October 6th, 2008
David is my choise for PRIME MINISTER of Canada,..David Orchard would be #2.
People who think more money is the answer, will not agree.
