Kurek joins shadow minister By Murray Green
Battle River-Crowfoot Member of Parliament Damien Kurek was appointed as the deputy shadow minister of Rural Economic Development and Rural Broadband Strategy. “Coming from rural Alberta, I understand firsthand the challenges that we are facing,” said Kurek, in response to the appointment. “Many of them relate directly to the economy. If we invest in rural Canada, we all benefit.” He went on to say that, “Many rural communities, small businesses, organizations and families are being held back from achieving their full potential. This unrealized potential includes our legacy industries, such as the resource and agricultural sectors, and the ability to see breakthrough in new and
innovative sectors that will transform our nation and grow our economy. Rural Canada can and should be part of the solution to the challenges facing our nation,” said Kurek. He said this is a great fit as he is passionate about advocating for rural concerns as he takes on this role. Additionally, he stated that he is looking forward to working with the shadow minister of Rural Economic Development and Rural Broadband Strategy, MP Lianne Rood. Parliament is set to resume on November 22, where Canada’s Conservatives will be focused on holding the Liberal-NDP coalition to account and bringing forward positive, common-sense solutions to the challenges Canadians face.

Emperor Mauritian Rum The Deep Blue Edition was placed in an underwater cellar at a depth of 60 metres for six months off the island of Ouessant in Brittany. Prior to immersion, this edition was finished in oak barrels that were used to produce the complex and velvety wines of the Grand Cru Classé Château Pape Clément (Bordeaux). The result is an extraordinarily rich, unique tannin and exceptional smoothness, complemented by warm, spicy notes.
