The P.M In The A.M.

BlueCircle is a member of the Calgary Chamber Of Commerce and believes that a united voice in the representation and advocacy for small business in this city is an important element in making positive change and bettering our city and the place where we live, work and play. With the recent economic downturn in our province, this is an increasingly important role that we feel has been handled well by the Chamber and we were pleased to hear that they had procured an audience with the Prime Minister and invited all Chamber members to attend. Needless to say, 1300 people responded immediately and the event was sold out.

As for the message, there are mixed reviews and certainly a fair share of naysayers when it comes to Liberal Party policy, but I am on board with making changes that protect our environment and optimistic about what the future holds for our younger generation and their families. The world is changing and maintaining the status quo just isn't going to cut it in my opinion. there is worry that we will have a disadvantage if we are doing something differently than our neighbours to the south but I am still in favour of long term thinking and want to support initiatives that don't pit capitalism against environmentalism, like they are mutually exclusive. We need energy, we need opportunity, we need growth, but we need a safe and clean planet for the future, so I am willing to work toward that on behalf of future generations.

Kelly and Gerry, along with our fellow guest Brian (r) enjoyed breakfast and the discussion 

Chamber Of Commerce President and CEO, Adam Legge, welcomed guests and started the discussions.

We were quite a ways back, so my apologies for a poor quality photo of the P.M. as he gave his initial speech.

Entrepreneur, Arlene Dickinson, hosted the Q&A 

Prime Minister Trudeau is well spoken and impressed me with his remarks
