Join us for an engaging new episode of "Dialogue over Division" with Eric Bouchard, MLA for Calgary-Lougheed. Eric shares his journey from a business owner who trusted the government to a resolute political representative, driven by the abrupt shutdown of his business and its impact on him, his family, and his business. In this podcast episode, Eric delves into the importance of civic involvement, highlighting its influence on personal and business affairs. He discusses the lack of transparency in media, another driving force behind his decision to run for elected office and to become a voice for change. Overcoming numerous challenges, he secured a surprising victory in Premier Kenney's former constituency. Together, we explore the hurdles he faced, lessons learned, and the pivotal role of communication in times of division. Eric emphasizes the significance of embracing diverse opinions and the value of respectful disagreement as a means to finding common ground and a course for a more united society.
