Two maintenance workers from Elk Island Public Schools came to examine the metal roof over Andrew School on Sept. 9 due to ongoing issues the building has had with leaks over the past couple of years. Their visit was confirmed by Andrew’s Chief Administrative Officer Adam Kozakiewicz, who felt confident a plan to fix the roof would be put into place, although he could only provide a few details.“Elk Island Public had sent two gentlemen and they're looking at putting membranes and envelopes on top of the roof and kind of re-doing and re-screwing the roof again, to make sure to prevent further damage,” he Andrewsaid.School shares their building with the Andrew Village Office, also sharing the leaky

From Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, “Congratulations on being elected Leader of the Conservative Party tonight. As Parliamentarians, we must work together to deliver results for people across the country. Canadians expect – and deserve – nothing less.”Well Trudeau hasn’t really delivered anything for all Canadians, and the best thing Poilievre can do is get elected and force Trudeau and his minions to disappear into the back pages of history books.
Singh has done almost as much to divide this country as Trudeau himself.Their unholy alliance is itself very destructive to ourAndcountry.itlooks like Singh knows he’s a divisive individual skilled at spreading falsehoods when he states that it’s time Canada had a leader that tells the truth and isn’t divisive.
We acknowledge the financial support
He has also advocated firing the Governor of the Bank of Canada and defunding the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation and eliminating the Liberal cash payouts to national media.
Now it’s time for Poilievre to put on his statesman’s hat and show that he can put his vision of what Canada should look like and sell it to the main Conservative body

So a populist, Pierre Poilievre, has ascended to the top of the Conservative Party of Canada. It really came as no surprise, as his nearest competition was yesterday man Jean Charest whose last foray in politics had been serving as the Liberal premier of Quebec.Poilievre has riled much of the mainstream media with his support of the freedom convoy in Ottawa, a group he alone had the nerve to go and meet with.

temporary as we’ve seen so many times in our history. It seems to me that we are more like that small rodent in a cage running on that small wheel that we’re all so familiar with, expending all that energy trying to get somewhere (as with the laurentian elite) but going nowhere.There is nothing that Pierre Poiliviere can do to change this system without Ontario and Quebec signing off on constitutional reform which leaves us as a province, only one remaining option, that is to continue to fight for our independence from a bad relationship. Just my thoughts here.
BY JOHN MATHER
DearAlthoughEditor: the landslide victory for Pierre Poilievre as the new leader of the Conservative Party, gives us some measure of hope in Alberta, this may just be a mirage. We’ve seen good administrations come, and good administrations go, in federal politics.
The problem as I see it, is that the population imbalance in Eastern Canada dictates the type of federal government that gets elected, usually to the detriment of the objectives and hopes of the Western provinces. It’s a seesaw of successive and opposing parties that will continue until the electoral system is changed in this country that will unfortunately never happen.
This is why the idea of separating from this ineffective form of government is so important to our way of life in the West. The time to change the imbalance of power by constitutional reform has come, but it’s only a pipe dream as Ontario and Quebec will not relinquish the power that they hold over western Canada. We as Albertans need to force the issue of either changing the power imbalance through legislative and democratic process or outright separation from the laurentian elite and Eastern Canada.Yes,it’s time that we see a change in federal politics in Ottawa, but my fear is that this change will only be

And from that most noble of politicians, NDP leader Jagmeet Singh, “I would like to extend my congratulations to Pierre Poilievre on becoming the Leader of the Conservative Party. I know we will disagree on a lot and rarely find common ground – it’s time Canadians have leaders that tell the truth and refuse the destructive politics of Nowdivision.”thatisquite the funny statement from Singh. He props up the Liberals so they can continue to mismanage the Canadian economy and still call average Canadians names and he has the temerity to spew out a statement about truth and the destructive politics of division.
It remains to be seen whether he will run for the CPC when the next general election is called. Third place finisher, Leslyn Lewis, who should likely get a strong position in Poilievre’s shadow cabinet, said “Let’s work together to

it’s amazing how things mesh. We finally got our landscape curbing done and it looks great. However, in order to prep for that process, we had to bring back all the landscape rocks that went ‘into storage’ when our addition project began in 2018. Over the years, the grass had grown up around them and we kept finding more and more. It took several hours of hard, hard work. The largest ones were positioned in what we felt was a pleasing arrangement. The smaller, yet impossible to lift ones are sitting on plywood until the plantings are done and we see where they’re needed.

One hand washes the other. I never take without giving back. I like the idea of having an independent news agency in our area, because I don’t want to just be fed propaganda from municipalities, police and school boards just to appease me! For years there was no media in the Lamont County area, just leaching media from other areas covering events here only for advertising dollars and no vested interest. I don’t just advertise with The Leader to make sales but also to fend off competition from other businesses in the area and from other towns and cities in the area too. I know if I don’t advertise with The Leader, that my event will not be covered when it happens mostly because they don’t know about it, but also because I didn’t support them so why would I expect them to support me. The Leader is a local business, employing local people, donating to local charities, and involved with local causes. Tech giants do nothing for my family, my neighbours or my community. The Leader covers all of Lamont County. These are my friends and neighbours and we support one another. I try to buy all my printing from The Leader, or at least get a quote. They are honest and good to deal with. When I have a problem they look after it for me from printing to advertising. I budget a portion of my revenue to advertising with The Leader. It’s smart business to re-invest in promoting my business. I see other successful businesses advertising in The Leader. Great minds think alike!

Since Babas and Borshch ended for another year, it’s been a blur of activity around home.
