November 18, 2008 | Hansard/Speeches: Longing for Leadership
In his Private Member's Statement on Nov. 18, David Swann asked his colleagues for strong leadership on behalf of Albertans:
"The song 'Waiting for a Miracle' is Leonard Cohen at his most sardonic - a dark view of a people in a hopeless state waiting for someone to save them. I believe we are our own rescuers; we don't get better lives by waiting, we build better lives by getting involved. The world is at a turning point with serious challenges and different choices to be made if we are to leave a better future for our children. Our economy, environment and civil society are threatened. But people are longing for courageous, honest leadership; too many have given up on our political system in Alberta." FULL SPEECH (PDF
