INTERVIEW – Equal Marriage, Gay Rights and Gay Pride: Responses from UCP leader Jason Kenney from back in June 2004 when he was running for the Federal Conservatives

From GayCalgary Magazine June 2004, Issue 8

With the upcoming 2019 provincial election, we wanted to showcase past interviews that we have done with Jason Kenney (when he was running in the 2004 federal election for the Conservatives), Stephan Mandel (when he was mayor of Edmonton), and David Khan (when he was looking to become the leader of the Alberta Liberals).  We had not interviewed Rachel Notley yet, but have GayCalgary has interviewed three NDP MLA’s which speaks to what the Alberta NDP Party is about.

In June 2004, GayCalgary did interviews with candidates running for the Federal election in the Calgary area. With the amount of people that responded to our three questions, we had missed that we had interviewed Jason Kenney, who is now the leader of the United Conservative Party (UCP).  You can read the whole article Federal Election Candidates in Calgary: Question and Answer (June 2004, Issue 8) at http://www.gaycalgary.com/a760.

Positive Thoughts – My Poz Heroes: How writing about people living with HIV inspired profound change in my own life

About a year and a half ago, I was in a dark place. After a painful separation from the love of my life, I felt not only completely broken inside but also scared as hell. And I needed a job, pronto. After all, I was a single mom now and I had mouths to feed.

After weeks of job searching and getting turned down for employment by both Target and a local RV dealership, you could say my sense of self-worth wasn’t the greatest. I was on the verge of turning 40, jobless, broke, and very, very sad. At that point, I lacked the motivation to even try to apply at another crappy job that I didn’t want. But the what the hell was I going to do?

Well, I did the only thing you can do when life has you by the huevos and you’re doing the best you can, despite the overwhelming odds against you at the moment – I left it to the Universe. I very consciously put out this “wish” of sorts; this hope, this prayer: Let me find a job that needs me…
