Blaine spent over 30 successful years in the cattle feeding business buying and selling cattle in five provinces and four U.S. states. Blaine understands the need for MB to be competitive and the importance of trade with all jurisdictions outside MB.

Blaine believes communities must work together to realize their potential and address shortcomings. Revitalizing Carman Constituency, in consultation with residents- from youth to seniors- is his top priority.
