Interesting past statements by Mr. Stelmach....(refreshing the memories of albertans everywhere)

I wish to help in informing the Alberta voters of statements/comments made by our faltering Premier, since the beginning of his dismal run in office. It was pretty easy finding the articles. It wasn't so obvious choosing the best because they were all priceless. I'm starting to be able to distinguish when Mr. Stelmach's speechwriter may have been on sick days/vacation, by the quality of the nonsense being said. The quotes below were all made by Eddy with complete article links. I wouldn't want anybody to think I would try to show Steady Eddy out of context. That wouldn't show integrity or honesty, now, would it? “The A and B Crews are working and the C Crew is at home until they change their attitude,” he said, during prepared remarks. (November 12, 2009) This statement by Eddy is what inspired my Nov. 12, 2009 post. And the various responses have been better than I could possibly imagine.) "People whisper in my ear," Stelmach told Maclean's in an interview this week, "and say, 'Ed, please don't change. We like your honesty, we like your integrity and, most of all, you're a very modest individual.' " ( March 3, 2008) Stelmach gives himself, cabinet hefty pay raise (May, 2008) I was furious when I knew this, in 2008. Most of those around me were unconcerned and wished I would just let it go. And I did. So forgive me when I wasn't so passionate about most of Alberta discovering this fact just now. What you doing when it happened, really??? So, move on. "...Mr. Speaker, you know what? I'm going to take the word of this nurse (Fritz) over any bus driver any doggone time." (Just FYI, sassylassy drove a school bus, too. So this one hurt, personally.) In 1999, Klein shifted Stelmach to the new Infrastructure portfolio, where he made traffic safety a priority, increasing fines for traffic offenses, sometimes by as much as 700%. He also briefly aroused controversy by proposing reversing the slow and fast lanes on provincial highways, on the grounds that this would equalize the rate at which the lanes broke down and therefore save on maintenance costs; nothing came of the proposal. He established a fund for capital projects, but has been criticized for not doing enough to address the deterioration of the province's infrastructure. (This website also provides a extensive quick glimpse at what Eddy's been up to since 1986. Definitively worth reading. I found it to be impartial yet quite complete. Well done.)I stress again, how these are only a few gems collected of Mr. Stelmach's speeches and unsolicited comments. I, personally, find the comic relief almost too much to bare yet simultaneously, experience red rages when I hear "Premier Stelmach" being mentioned. He was excellent as passing himself off as unassuming; having the ear of the people (didn't know it was "The Voices" lol); like G.W.B., Eddy complains or attacks situations he created or co-created back then when he was in charge of those very ministries of government. I think I may have stumbled upon an expandable subject, maybe even a venture for sassylassy. I share with the reader that I had a blast reading the contents for every article linked. It proved one of my easier posts to write. To those who reached the bottom, please leave any comments/rating, regarding this post or any other of my posts. Development of this particular post maybe a viable possibility....(na,na,na,naaaa.....lol).
