Always political and a militant feminist I continued that work to political life in 1997. Representing downtown Edmonton in all its diversity is a great joy and daily challenge.\u00a0 This combines my desire to change the world and to help women, the GLTBQ community, people of different race and ethnic background, and others achieve full and equal participation in the life of the province.\u00a0 I\u2019m married to another change agent politician, Councillor Ben Henderson and we spend our spare time with 2 dogs and 4 cats.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>For more information about Laurie see <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Laurie_Blakeman\">http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Laurie_Blakeman<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/laurieblakeman.com\/\">http:\/\/www.laurieblakeman.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Poolside With Laurie and Kadin Featuring Laurie Blakeman MLA for the constituency of Edmonton-Centre, Change Agent, Activist for Public Policy And Kadin Six year-old\u00a0Wirehaired Pointing Griffon and Laurie&#8217;s best friend June 26, 2012 Edmonton, Alberta, Canada In Laurie&#8217;s words: Actor to theatre Producer to Politician.\u00a0\u00a0 With my BFA in Acting I went on to act [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[45,6,62,202],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.miguelitoslittlegreencar.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2249"}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.miguelitoslittlegreencar.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.miguelitoslittlegreencar.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.miguelitoslittlegreencar.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.miguelitoslittlegreencar.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2249"}],"version-history":[{"count":7,"href":"http:\/\/www.miguelitoslittlegreencar.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2249\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2253,"href":"http:\/\/www.miguelitoslittlegreencar.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2249\/revisions\/2253"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.miguelitoslittlegreencar.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2249"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.miguelitoslittlegreencar.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2249"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.miguelitoslittlegreencar.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2249"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
