"The riding that sent me here is called Bow River.
...the Bow doesn't ask Ottawa's permission to flow...the Bow runs past oil wells shut by people who never set foot on a rig.
It flows by farms taxed by bureacurats who couldn't grow a weed.
It flows past churches left to burn.
While politicians offer excuses instead of justice, it flows past the homes of veterans, seniors, and families forgotten by the system but not by me."

Aren't they just wonderful! Her add to post is interesting. I have a son working on a pipeline in B.C. that was approved many years ago that I hadn't heard of as it never makes the news. Previously he worked on Trans Mountain which was major news daily.
