Next Provincial Election Will Feature Brian Jean Against Don Scott
The next provincial election in Fort MacMurray will feature Brian Jean against Don Scott, with both politicians hoping to win a spot in the legislator. Brian Jean stated “That is where I live and I have lived in Fort McMurray for 48 years,. I can’t imagine running anywhere else but in my home community. I actually very much love this area. When people talk bad about it, I can’t believe it. It’s unbelievable, but I realize they’re talking from inexperience, much like some of our government members. They don’t take the people’s priorities as their own, they take their priorities and their friends’ priorities and their cronies’ priorities as their own and it’s shameful. We are running in our respective ridings because of all the broken promises made by the PC government and the inability of our local (MLAs) to deliver any improvements in the quality of life to our citizens. They have a lot to answer for.”
When discussing the provincial elecion and running against Don Scott Wildrose Leader Brian Jean was emphatic that the needs of Wood Buffalo have not been met by the government to date. “I hope they do talk about Highway 63, because I will point out to them that in 2006, the federal government provided 50% of funding and it was still not twinned. As a result, now that we’ve come close prices have skyrocketed to over $1 billion. I want to tell them how five different premiers promised our community an Aging in Place facility for Willow Square.” The Fort MacMurray Long Term Care Project has been delayed numerous times since 2008.
