Tom Jackson is running to become Wildrose candidate in Battle River Wainwright district of Alberta.

Some people say you can't get from here to there, but all you have to do is add a T.

Nice video Tom. Good luck with your political ambitions.

Never heard of the guy...is he new around these here parts?
Hope he's not one of them thar radicals.
We hates radicals.

Tommy, you have a monstrous ego! For a religious
sort you sure mess around with the seven deadly sins,
don't you? Good luck anyways, no I mean it, it'll be an
eyeopener for everyone.

So are you modelling yourself after your friend and hero Ted Morton with the two pseudonyms?
The Wildrose must be a broad church as I know one of the candidates that can't believe that some farmers would be so dumb as to campaign to end the CWB. If you manage to get selected as a candidate you'll maybe get to meet him.

Grassfarmer,

Thanks for the advice!

Met Ted many times. Nice fellow but the way he turned on us hurts.

Rockpile, Thanks for the goodwill!

Courage and passion often lead folks to put us in a box. In my 20 years as a Pulse Commissioner I had ample training to learn balance is important. That was the whole issue with the CWB. Accountability is key to long term prosperous relationships.

Wildrose has both recall and citizens initiatives. I gladly embrace both and enjoyed these aspects of accountability in many years of my service at Alberta Pulse Growers!

Good for you TOM. Hope you can win it.
I wonder why anyone would run for a party if they didn't agree with that partys policy? I think the Wildrose is pretty clear that they don't support the single desk? I think the Wildrose stresses property rights?
Just my opinion, but forcing you to market your grain through the CWB isn't much different than expropriating that property without your consent. That isn't respecting property rights. It is a form of tyranny.

Good luck Tom, it's time for a change in Alberta.

Good luck Tom. Win and shake things up!
