Successful Edmonton Town Hall

I've just returned to Calgary from a very productive and enjoyable trip to our capital. I would like to thank Todd Loewen for organizing and hosting the town hall meeting in Edmonton last night. He managed to pull together this meeting on rather short notice. Despite the limited notice the event was attended by roughly 50+ people, with many new faces in the group, including a Federal MP.

Paul Hinman, leader of the Wildrose Alliance, covered a range of topics and those who were seeing him speak for the first time were very impressed and took the time to express this to us after the meeting. Those of us who have seen Paul speak numerous times in the past were also suitably impressed. We have witnessed him become a confident, animated and competent public speaker.



The speeches were followed by a Q & A session that lasted quite some time as interest in learning more about us was high. Global TV Edmonton also popped in to take some footage and had a brief interview with yours truly, as Paul was busy at the moment. I have learned today, that the piece was aired pretty much province wide.

I thought I would be the first to blog about this, but alas one of the attendees beat me to it.
