About me:In 2007, I retired after 35 years of teaching high school Biology and Science. I became an active member of
both the Libertarian Party of Canada and the Ontario Libertarian Party in 2008. In 2008 and again in 2011, I was the candidate for the Libertarian Party of Canada in the Markham-Unionville during those general Federal elections. In October 2011, I ran as a candidate in the Provincial election in Markham-Unionville. At the provincial party convention in Nov. 2011, I was elected Leader of the Ontario Libertarian Party for a three year term. I have been a "news-junkie" for most of my life, always on the hunt for new information, and new knowledge. My love of liberty and free markets goes back even further, to my high school days in Toronto, when I became interested in the philosophy of Objectivism. My primary reason for running as a candidate in this and other elections, is to offer an alternative choice to the mainline parties for you the voter. This way, I can be assured that at least my vote, the votes of my family, and you and your family, are not wasted on the mainline parties. If you direct your vote to me, and others do for Libertarian candidates across Ontario, and the number of those votes is significant, then the mainline parties may begin to realize that there is some real dissatisfaction amongst the electorate that they are not able to address with current policies. They may want to rethink their policies, that is my hope in the short term. We do not need to win to change attitudes. In the longer term, the presence of elected Libertarian MPPs in the Ontario Legislature will change both the media and public perception toward the function of government. The mainline parties, despite their protestations, are virtually identical to one another. They operate without discernable principles except one, to protect their job and assure their re-election next time. That is their primary purpose and goal. To achieve that, they will compete with one another on just how much of taxpayer’s money or debt will be used to bribe the voters for support. Don't be fooled. Don’t waste your vote on politicians who suppose that every social ill can be fixed with more spending, more taxation and worse, more debt. Make your vote count, use it as a weapon to change the status quo. |
