I really would like to vent, but I am going to say this nice and sweet.

As the MLA for Little Bow, the Agricultural and Rural Development Critic for the Official Opposition for Alberta, a parent, a farmer and a child that was raised on a farm in Alberta, I have a great understanding of the workings on a farm. Back in the day, farm children were encouraged to stay home from school to help bring in the harvest. Why? We all needed to eat, and make a living for the basics in life and because it wasn’t as easy as going to Safeway and picking up what you needed. Have times changed? For sure.

This letter is directed to the two people who entered my property on the corner of 59th Avenue and 48th Street.

Probably the number one question I am asked is “Why did you move home?”  To which I usually reply with a number of different answers, knowing that there really is only one true answer, and it’s times like the holidays that remind me why I came back.
