Jonathan Denis, Calgary Egmont
SE Calgary News offers a regular series of political commentary and inteviews with southeast Calgary MPs, MLAs, aldermen and community leaders called 3 Minutes With… The intent is to provide a forum where our elected officials can explain in detail their position on issues of the day, to move beyond the “sound bite.”
In this segment, Calgary Egmont MLA Jonathan Denis talks about his membership in “The Fiscal Four.” Alberta has a long history of the governing party sprouting groups of MLAs advocating a particular political line. Most recently, Premier Ed Stelmach was part of the Deep Six in the early 1990s that pressured Ralph Klein for more fiscal responsibility.
And now we have the Fiscal Four, comprised of Mr. Denis and fellow Tory MLAs Kyle Fawcett, Doug Griffith and Rob Anderson. Mr. Denis stresses that he and his colleagues are happy to remain part of the Progressive Conservative Party, just in case anyone was worried they might be flirting with the Wild Rose Alliance, but the Alberta government has lost its way on financial matters and need a little pressure to return to its fiscal conservative roots.
