Alberta NDP’s Brian Mason retiring from politics
A veteran of Alberta politics says he will not run in next spring’s provincial election.
NDP government house leader Brian Mason is bringing to a close three decades in public life, including 10 years as leader of Alberta’s New Democrats.
Mason, who is 64, is also the minister of transportation and is the longest-serving member currently at the legislature.
The former transit bus driver and Edmonton city councillor says he will stay on until the election before leaving with an unblemished campaign record.
