Yesterday morning while on the campaign trail, I was asked if I was available to meet with some elementary students at Mckernan School yesterday afternoon. The students at McKernan School were studying politics and were learning about the different parties and their platforms and ill be participating in a mock election come April 19th.
I met with the grade five and six students who were doing a presentation of the Alberta Party for their class. I was impressed by the presentation as they focused on our Big Listen campaign, Dream Bigger Election Platform and what our party stood for.
I gave a brief history of my party and how we do politics differently. I told them about the Big Listen and how we developed our party platform from the voices and ideas of all Albertans. How we believe that politics needs to leave the mudslinging out and focus on a positive campaign.
The students bombarded me with lots of questions, such as, about the environment, what campaigning was like, what will be the first thing I would do should I become a MLA and so on. We also discussed bit about the other political parties and their platforms, signs and party colours.
I had a great time and the students and staff at McKernan School were wonderful.
