Jason John Nixon ECA MLA (born May 26, 1980) is a Canadian politician and the current Minister of Seniors, Community and Social Services of Alberta.

[2] Nixon graduated from Southern Alberta Institute of Technology in 2011 with a management major, but he continued to take classes in Athabasca University.

[9] During the 2019 Alberta election, Nixon was dogged with controversies about a peace bond for an assault of a woman over his alleged involvement in a poaching incident on her property,[10] a subsequent confrontation with a Fish and Wildlife Officer,[11] as well as an earlier British Columbia Human Rights Tribunal ruling about his handling of a sexual harassment complaint at his former company.

[13] Before the election, he was a vocal opponent to the previous Minister, Shannon Phillips, especially in relation to the proposed Bighorn Wildland Provincial Park.

Adjudicator Kurt Neuenfeldt wrote in his December 30, 2008 British Columbia Human Rights Tribunal ruling that the contractor "sexually harassed " the female employee, and "that NSC terminated her employment" at the "urging" of Navigator, and Con-Forte when Harrison complained.

[23] Navigator and Con-Forte were ordered to pay her lost wages, $14,144, an additional $15,000 compensation for injury to her dignity, feelings and self-respect, and $3,000 for improper conduct during the hearing.

On February 6, 2009, Nixon was part of a group who shot a deer on Allison Gentry's family's property, the Sixty-One Ranch near Cremona, Alberta.

[28] The assault charge involving Gentry was dropped a few months earlier, in February 2011, when Nixon agreed to enter into a peace bond.

[28] During Nixon's 2011 trial, the video of the interview was submitted as evidence and was played in court and the contents were later reported in a subsequent March 8, 2011 Mountain View Gazette article.

[29] The Alberta judge who had served as Progressive Conservative MLA in the Calgary-Lougheed riding from 1997 until 2004, Marlene Graham, found Nixon not guilty of the charges against the Fish and Wildlife officer.

[30][29] An informant claimed that Nixon, Gary Cape, Earl Anderson, and a youth had been involved in shooting a pregnant wild horse near Sundre, Alberta in April 2009.

[23] On December 3, 2012, William Klym submitted a statement of claim on behalf of the four men in the Alberta Court of Queen's Bench in Calgary in a multimillion-dollar negligence lawsuit against the RCMP officers involved.

[37] In June 2019, he was the subject of a point of privilege raised by the NDP, claiming Nixon, "deliberately misled the legislature when he said no one used the earplugs distributed by Premier Jason Kenney during last week's debate on a bill to delay wage talks for 180,000 public sector workers.

"[38] On June 18, 2019, as UCP house leader, Nixon announced a nine-hour total limit on debate on the "contentious" and "controversial" Public Sector Wage Arbitration Deferral Act (Bill 9)— the "bargaining rights bill"— intended to delay hearings on wage arbitration for 180,000 public service employees represented by unions in 24 collective agreements.

[39][40][41] At 11:25 Wednesday night, in the middle of a speech by New Democrat MLA Thomas Dang in the all-night marathon session of debate prior to Bill 9's passage on the morning of June 20, Premier Kenney passed out orange earplugs to UCP MLAs in the legislature and about six people used them including Nixon.

[48] During the May 9, 2020 legislative session Nixon was caught on tape laughing while an NDP MLA was presenting his concerns[49][50] about the 4,000 Albertans with Type A diabetes who depended on the Alberta's Insulin Pump Therapy Program, that the UCP had just cancelled.

[51] During the May 10 session MLA Janis Irwin said that when Nixon was laughing, there were 25 Albertans present in the legislature who had come to express concerns about cuts to the program.

When she asked what was so "funny about Albertans losing their coverage for life-saving insulin pumps, Nixon responded that Irwin's behaviour was "ridiculous" and he "condemned the Official Opposition for continuing to play politics".
