We continue our election candidate profiles with another one of the incumbants.
Arnold Viersen is running for the Conservatives in Peace River-Westlock, he says it’s “time for a change” in this country.
“I think that our opposition to the carbon tax over the last nine years has paid off and even the Liberals have now turned it off. We are wanting to put in a permanent ban on the carbon tax with our ‘Axe the Tax’ message and we want to bring safety and security back to our communities. I know that all across Northern Alberta, crime has gotten out of hand under the Liberals.”
Viersen was first elected as an MP back in 2015.
He says energy infrastructure has been one of the major things he’s heard from people.
“Getting pipeline built and getting out from the Americans as our only market. Having east-west pipelines is something that Stephen Harper ran on back in 2015 and I’ve been running on that banner for a long time. Looking forward to having the opportunity to approve national building pipeline projects across the country.”
Viersen says he’s also heard alot about crime issues and concerns on the economy.
