As I watch the 1 year anniversary of the Olympics I am reminded of the impact it has on us a country. I am uncertain of the longevity of that impact but it did prove that ‘together’ we can stand out front on the world stage in anything we do. “I Believe” as a slogan means a lot because for so long we didn’t believe in ourselves or our country. It is difficult for me as a person from eastern Canada constantly hearing the conversation about how the east takes from the west. I never knew this in my life and after living the better part of 30 years in Alberta I believe I can look from both sides. I know that what I have received from this province I have tried to give back. Please don’t generalize about my work ethic, my upbringing, my capabilities, my education, my values and my moral fibre and I promise not to do that to you. “I Believe” that unified we are a great country; from sea to shining sea.
