    187. Dr. David Zwoboda - Healing Plants

    David is a doctor of physical therapy who started his own company to remotely take care of his fellow jiu jitsu athletes within just a year of finishing PT school. During that time though, he started down his own path of healing using plant medicines, and he became more interested in helping people improve their mental and spiritual health instead of just working on the physical aspects of wellness. Together with his wife, David is now helping others start or progress on their paths with plant medicines through facilitating private psilocybin ceremonies, organizing Ayahuasca retreats with indigenous healers in Peru, and by coaching people on how to incorporate psilocybin microdosing into their lives. He's also on a mission to reinstate an aspect of spirituality into jiu jitsu, which seems to have eschewed this aspect that's shared by every traditional martial art. You can find more on his instagram @davidzbjj or at becomingom.com where you can learn about the microdosing program and the retreats David and his wife offer, including the world's first ever plant medicine infused jiu jitsu retreat in Mexico.

    183. Chelsae Petrovic - Get Involved

    My life being raised in rural Alberta is a story of service. I am a married mother of two children. I value Conservatism and my Christian beliefs. Together, my family run a small business and our family's ranch land is tucked in the heart of southern Alberta. As part of a family operating a small business, I understand the difficulties the past few years have brought upon our rural communities in Livingstone-Macleod with rampant inflation, and run-away cost of living. My service as a nurse in our community for 12 years has been one of care and compassion to ensure everyone is taken care of in our community. Taking care of people did not stop at the hospital. I serve as the community coordinator of the fastest growing not-for-profit organization in the community called My City Care. I work to provide a team of volunteers with everything they need to operate our many programs such as the Shop of Wonders, the Cinderella project, Farm to table, and the Lunch box program. I favour a hand up approach, over handouts and these programs work towards this idea. In 2020, I was recognized locally as Citizen of the Year for my volunteer work and community involvement, which has encouraged me to continue to serve in any way I can. As the Mayor of Claresholm, I have worked to be of service to my entire community. I knew I needed to get involved in public service after seeing the unprecedented changes and challenges the past few years have brought about in our homes and communities. I want to ensure we do everything we can to keep this province the best place to live and raise a family. I lead by example and have never been shy about standing up for my values and beliefs, and I wont be shy about standing up for you. Listening to the people of Livingstone-Macleod and putting you first is my top priority. I will continue to stand up for what is best for our communities. With your support, I am standing up to serve our small towns, ranches, farms, and the most beautiful riding in Alberta. I humbly ask for your support to serve as your voice in the legislature.

    181. Theo Fleury - The Insane Are Running The Asylum

    Theo Fleury is perhaps best known for his time on the ice. But off the rink, his life once carried the markings of a troubled childhood, abuse and coping with emotional pain through addictive and self-destructive behaviours. Today, Theo defines himself as a victor over trauma and addiction, and a facilitator to those still trying to find their way. His best-selling books, Playing with Fire and Conversations with a Rattlesnake, encourage open sharing and provide practical tools that people seeking help can personally use. These tools are also useful to those who want to lead a productive conversation, called “Real Conversations”, with anybody else experiencing trauma. Theo has been awarded the Canadian Humanitarian Award and the Queen’s Jubilee Medallion. He is a Siksika Nation Honorary Chief and recipient of the Aboriginal Inspire Award. He also holds two honorary doctorates – one in Science from the University of Guelph-Humber for outstanding contributions to the mental health of Canadians, and another in Laws from Brandon University for his work in combating child abuse and promoting healing and recovery.

    180. Tanya Clemens - Stepping In To The Ring

    Tanya Clemens, UCP Nomination Candidate or Livingstone-Macleod Why I’m running: I am born and raised in Livingstone-Macleod and have always felt the calling to serve my community. I view political leadership as both a service and a civic duty. Alberta sits at a precipice. If we continue heading toward the sovereign Alberta the United Conservative Party (UCP) is leading us towards, we will realize the prosperity and freedom Albertans deserve. If we do not continue on this path, slipping backwards from this precipice, we risk unprecedented damage to our core industries (natural resource development, agriculture, etc.), resulting in further hardships for Albertans. I am very proud of our rural roots, entrepreneurial spirit, and strong work ethic. I want power returned to the people of this province and for our elected representatives to acknowledge their leadership as a service to their constituents.

    174. Tom Marazzo - Your Ego is Your Enemy

    Tom Marazzo has been dedicated to serving Canadians since 1990 when he joined the Army Reserve, while still in high school. Eight years later, he enrolled in the Regular Force Army and was granted the commission of Combat Engineer Officer, soon rising to Captain. Tom worked in the Division Engineer Office in Toronto where he participated in the G8/G20 Summit in 2010. While in the military, Tom earned a Diploma in Construction Engineering Technology and Architecture, and an MBA. He has been posted to various locations across Canada including New Brunswick, Petawawa, Kingston, Toronto, London, Ontario and Trenton. After 25 years of service, Tom retired from the Armed Forces in 2015. He completed a 4-year Bachelor of Technology Software Development degree and immediately began teaching at a Community College in Ontario until September 2021, when he was fired for questioning the legality of vaccine mandates, via a campus-wide email to the president and members of the college faculty. Determined to stand for the rights and freedoms of all Canadians, Tom became a volunteer of the Canadian Trucker Freedom Convoy 2022. Trained in battle planning over many years, Tom’s tactical and strategic advice was instrumental to the safe and responsible achievement of Convoy objectives. His experience was integral to the coordination of truck movements and logistics, as well as negotiations with Police Liaison Teams from the city of Ottawa. A member of the leadership team, Tom acted as the main spokesperson, holding press conferences almost daily. The incredible success of the Convoy can be measured by the mandates removed in the province of Ontario. No longer able to remain silent, Tom felt a deep sense of duty to serve as a conduit for people that believe in the integrity and ability to turn our political landscape around. To serve the people of Canada, Tom ran as an Ontario Party Candidate in the 2022 Ontario provincial election. Witnessing Canadians losing their inalienable human rights is not something to ignore or abide by. Tom’s unwavering commitment to Canadians is the reason he’s writing a highly person and detailed account of his life experiences leading up to, during and in the after math of the Freedom Convoy.

    154. Brian Crowley - The Limits of Expertise

    Brian Lee Crowley, one of Canada’s most original political thinkers, has produced a stunning road map for how we can steer Canada into a brighter political future. He claims that we can divide political culture into two categories: designers and gardeners. Designers believe that they have sufficient knowledge to impose their will on others, without any unintended consequences, while gardeners are more modest and are content to work with what already exists, especially where whatever already exists has virtues or beauties. Crowley argues that we need fewer designers making top-down pronouncements, and more gardeners who are willing to work from the bottom up, cultivating instead of engineering. We should all aspire to be gardeners: planting, growing, appreciating the results, and building something that will thrive in the ideal political, social, and cultural soil.
