Canada Ambassador: Alexander and Year Experience

canada ambassador: Failure is part of any successful career and we, all of us as Conservatives, have a lot to learn from last year experience." Chris Alexander speaks in the House of Commons on May 25, 2015, according to Huffington Post Canada. Alexander said he was motivated to join the race because he believes in public service, first in his 18 years as a diplomat and then as a member of Parliament. It tough to lose," he told CBC News Network Power & Politics. "Failure is part of life. And despite losing his seat in the last election, he said, he has a "federal vision that is larger than the one on offer, certainly, in the current government." Alexander served as Canada ambassador to Afghanistan before joining the Conservative Party and running for Parliament. That meteoric rise, however, was derailed during a lacklustre election campaign that began with Alexander accusing Power & Politics host Rosemary Barton of ignoring the plight of Syrian refugees in a now infamous televised exchange. He was promoted to immigration minister, and his political ascendancy promised to be long and fruitful. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
