Blair-Marie Coles is a passionate advocate for families, a mother of two, and a dedicated public servant with deep roots in the Edmonton Manning community. Having lived and worked in the area for many years, she and her husband have chosen to raise their children here.
As Mr. Rogers once said, "When I was a boy and I would see scary things in the news, my mother would say to me, "Look for the helpers. You will always find people who are helping." In this tough global and political climate, I want to be a helper. I want to stand up for our community.
I have lived in Edmonton Manning for most of my life; I love this community. As a country, we are facing challenging times, and the representation we have had in Ottawa for the past decade has fallen short. Watching the news unfold around us each day, I know that the time for action is now. We are stronger when we stand together. It's time for a new voice for Edmonton Manning in Ottawa.
The Liberals have a strong plan backed with the knowledge and experience to get us through these challenging times. Mark Carney will laser-focus his cabinet to create one Canadian economy instead of 13, invest in critical, long-overdue infrastructure to support trade throughout the country (including pipelines, highways, and ports), build homes, and take a new approach to climate action. Not only will this plan help Canada, but with the right representation in Ottawa, it will benefit Albertans and our community in Edmonton Manning.
