Jason Dearborn
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jason Dearborn is a Saskatchewan Party MLA of the Saskatchewan Legislature.
Dearborn graduated from the University of Trinity College in the University of Toronto with a BA in 1994. He later returned to the same institution to graduate with an MDiv in 1996.
He was elected in the riding of Kindersley in a by-election in 2002 and re-elected in the Saskatchewan General Election of 2003.
Recently he announced that he will not be seeking re-election. Bill Boyd, a founding member of the Saskatchewan Party and the constituency's previous MLA, has been nominated by party members to run in the next election in the constituency of Kindersley.
[edit] Incidents
He gained notoriety for an incident at a public meeting in February 2005. In jest, Dearborn "nominated" Lorne Calvert—at that time the Premier of Saskatchewan—to be shot for implementing a controversial plan for restructuring school divisions. Dearborn apologized for his remarks, and was stripped of his critic responsibilities for a period of time. [1] Later he was returned to the Saskatchewan Party's shadow cabinet.
