LANG, SASK. — Carla Beck steps out of her SUV with her two dogs and starts walking beside a lake near her hometown, the spot where she learned to feed cows, swing a bat and not keep her mouth shut.
Redlicks Lake near the village of Lang, south of Regina, is the NDP leader's favourite place to get away and clear her head. She's gearing up for a provincial election, with polling expected on Oct. 28, in her first bid to become premier.
“A lot of times people will look and say it’s flat and all the same, but it’s not," she said."The skies are always changing, the birds here are always changing. If you look closely, the flowers are different."“She would stand up for others,” said her mother, Judy Beck, a longtime volunteer and a licensed worship leader who does funeral services.
“At the end she told me, ‘You’re pretty good at this. You should do this.’ I don’t know if it was as simple as that, but I remember thinking this is something I could do.”“What I really couldn’t do — and this won’t surprise people who knew me — I have difficulty keeping my mouth shut.” “Saw your ad. Could have given you some pointers," he teased her in a text message she received while at the Saskatchewan Roughriders football game on Labour Day weekend.
Beck and her husband, Guy Marsden, married in 1997 at the former United Church in Lang. They live in Saskatchewan’s capital and have three children: Hannah, Nolan and Maya.
