I am a teacher and a single parent of 3 children. I am VERY INTERESTED in politics at this juncture of my life. My plan is to run for the position of Mayor in Brandon, Manitoba, Canada during the upcoming municipal election in 2010.
Brandon, Manitoba is located in the CENTRE of Canada right off of the Trans Canada highway which runs through Canada and connects us from coast to coast to coast.
Louis Riel is the founding father of our province. He was a Catholic Metis man and he changed our name from Assiniboia to Manitoba because Manitoba means, "the God that speaks."
Louis Riel envisioned that, "one day Manitoba will be the epicentre of religious life within the nation."
Our govt. at the time, hung Louis Riel in Regina, Saskatchewan and branded him a traitor after a battle in Batoche, Saskatchewan.
