VOTE for LESS GOVERNMENT
Yesterday, Elections Ontario (OA) accepted me as a candidate in my home riding. OA refused to list me as “INDEPENDENT for LESS GOVERNMENT” on the ballot. My policies are stated below.
In 2007, I joined the Ontario Libertarian Party and continue to support the principles of Libertarianism today. The OLP Candidate for my riding will be Zack Tisdale, a friend and a top quality representative for our local farms, families and businesses. Zack and I will support each other’s messaging so that every election ballot will have two choices to vote for LESS GOVERNMENT.
Why two choices?
The HKLB riding is a Conservative stronghold both federally and provincially. In every election, the CONS, LIB, NDP and GRN parties are represented. As the BORG (Blue, Orange, Red & Green), a cabal of political power, they stand strong in support of BIG & BIGGER government policies. Conservatives are the least undesirable of the four BORG members for its “centrist” position on the political spectrum. Both the Libertarian (LTN) and my stand on Less Government bring some balance to the voters in terms of the range of ballot choices available to them. Based on my past experience of ten elections as a LTN candidate, our threat of “splitting the vote” is negligible.
About my campaign.
I will not be accepting donations or spending money on an election campaign - no signs, no ads and no door-to-door canvassing for votes. It would be dishonest of me to accept money and make claims about what I would do if elected knowing that there is no chance that I will be elected.
Instead, I run only for three reason:
To ask voters to consider how their life might improve if our governments were much smaller, significantly less expensive, and possessed a much-restricted scope of authority over our families and businesses.
Provide the ballot option for LESS GOVERNMENT for voters who want it. It is undemocratic for only BORG “Big & Bigger” ballot options to dominate every ballot.
Attract “absentee voters” to the polls. About 50% of eligible voters participate in elections. Many of the other 50% consider it a waste of time knowing their vote does little to determine the kind of government they want (particularly if they like Libertarianism).
Point #3 needs some elaboration. Many “absentee voters” refuse to endorse any BORG party with their vote; as such, they see no reason to go to the ballot box, a ritual with no meaning to them personally. Perhaps some will vote if they learn that LESS GOVERNMENT is a ballot option. Perhaps they want vote to indicate to their fellow constituents that LESS GOVERNMENT is their non-BORG preference.
Ideally, if the number of LESS GOVERNMENT votes grows in over time, the BORG parties will stop trying to buy our votes with dishonest election promises - an unacceptable election strategy.
What do I support?
After years of hyper-divisive politics, Canadians need a new reason to come together. A clear vision for the rights of citizens and their expectations of government is a good place to start.
The PEOPLE’S CONSTITUTION of 2024
Concerning the Rights of Persons and the Obligations of Government
BIRTHRIGHTS are non-negotiable. Every person deserves an age-appropriate level of individual freedom to undertake personal responsibility under conditions of fair, respectful and unbiased public rules.
Governments must protect our BIRTHRIGHTS.
Safeguarding these BIRTHRIGHTS is crucial to keeping order, peace, and cooperation within thriving societies. The following tenets, declared by citizens with government participation, define how to protect these inalienable rights.
The TENETS
EVERY PERSON has a body, mind and will of their own bestowed at birth.
The BIRTHRIGHT of every person living within democratic and civilized human communities is protection from unwarranted attacks on their person or property. Every person’s ability to survive and thrive depends on this protection.
So, these rights and freedoms are essential for individuals to:
LIVE FREE from any form of physical, emotional, or economic aggression imposed by any person regardless of their position or status in society.
HOLD BELIEFS, and to express them in a peaceful and non-threatening way.
PURSUE GOALS working independently or with others, and to provide for themselves and their family.
OWN PROPERTY that they legally create, build, or buy.
DEFEND THEMSELVES, their family, and their property.
EQUAL TREATMENT as separate and respected persons under unbiased laws and regulations.
THE FAMILY has been the cornerstone institution of thriving societies throughout human history. Civil societies must honour and protect it against all unwarranted intrusions.
GOVERNMENTS SERVE Canadians BEST …
… when they uphold our BIRTHRIGHTS transparently, accountably and without authoritarian measures. In addition …
Every citizen has a duty of care.
Canada’s economy, national security and culture must be carefully and democratically nurtured by every stakeholder to sustain a truly civil society.
Concerned stakeholders deserve to take part freely and responsibly in open and vigorous debates concerning significant public policy decisions and responsibilities undertaken by public authorities and institutions.
All views expressed by citizens and public officeholders must be considered in a mutually respectful manner to weigh the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats (i.e. SWOT analysis) associated with pending decisions. Intended and unintended consequences must be considered and anticipated.
Government officials and their personnel are employed, empowered, and compensated to be the guardians of our BIRTHRIGHTS. As such, they are duty bound to:
Ensure the protection of every person from any form of harm or threat, whether from individuals, groups, foreign entities, or government agencies.
Reliably and responsibly steward public assets, managing them to meet the needs of current and future generations.
Supply and/or manage vital infrastructure and services which could not otherwise exist without government input or financial support.
Help those in need to reach personal independence and responsible self-reliance in dignity.
GOVERNMENTS PROTECT Canadians BEST when …
Laws, policies, and government actions do not infringe upon the rights, freedoms, or rightfully obtained property of citizens and businesses.
Every citizen enjoys the right to self-provision through trade and commerce.
No individual, group, or entity receives undeserved privileges.
Neither domestic nor foreign powers can compromise our cultural values or assert control over our lands and resources.
The OBLIGATIONS of PUBLIC EMPLOYEES.
A fiduciary duty comes with government employment. Fundamentally, it confers a duty to respect and uphold our BIRTHRIGHTS. This a non-negotiable condition of their employment.
Public officials who violate their fiduciary duty must face suitable consequences in the same way that all citizens must obey our laws or face penalties.
Victims of fiduciary duty violations must be “made whole” directly by the perpetrators and not by the taxpayers at large who had no part in said violations.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Some considerations and aspirations for these TENETS include:
Discrimination is unacceptable. We must value every person equally regardless of employment or social status, race, ethnicity, age, wealth, or any other demographic.
Government officials must respect INFORMED CONSENT and never assume unwanted authority over any person or their property without it. Every person must be able to make responsible decisions according to their personal circumstances and preferences so long as they do not harm or aggress against others. Freedom of Informed Choice for all is the operating principle by which citizens must abide.
Public officeholders bear special and privileged obligations. Upon employment, government employees accept and must fulfill the fiduciary duties conferred upon them: to protect the legitimate BIRTHRIGHTS of each person ahead of their own interests and/or the unsanctioned interests of any person, organization, or ideological cause.
Citizens must be able to protect and defend themselves. Individual persons and business owners must be able to justly hold public officeholders individually accountable for harms they may cause in carrying out the duties of their office. In so doing, the victims must not suffer undue costs, damage to their reputations, inconveniences and/or unwarranted constraints caused by public officials.
CITIZEN VIGILANCE is essential. To prevent public officeholders from abusing the powers of their office, those powers (authorized responsibilities) must be clearly documented and accessible online for every public position. This will enable citizens to recognize when and where potential misuse of those powers may occur.
A BALANCE OF POWERS is vital to foster MUTUAL RESPECT between our citizens and public officeholders. Government institutions, and the public sector in general, have steadily grown in size, cost, and scope of authorities over many decades. The public has no effective means to curtail this expansion. Elections are now “political theatre” and are not expressions of the “will of the people” delegated to elected representatives - their sole means of representation in making laws. Consequently, governments get away with micromanaging our freedoms and individual choices using costly regulations and ubiquitous, tax-funded information systems to enforce them. Citizens must amass the resources and powers sufficient to hold politicians and public servants accountable to their fiduciary duties and to constrain their excesses whenever and wherever they may occur.
Citizens cannot defend their BIRTHRIGHTS without the power to do so. They must be able to act with impunity in a peaceful manner and under unbiased laws to identity and address any abuses of public authority. They must be free to act alone or in association with others for such purposes without fear of authoritarian repercussions.
Convictions by public opinion must stop to thwart undeserved. Too often, persons who face charges of an alleged crime suffer unfair reputation harm by when a “guilty verdict” is inferred before legal proceedings have completed. Unsubstantiated claims like these spread by misguided and ill-informed journalism, gossip, hearsay, and the like, are unacceptable. This disrespectful and uncharitable behaviour deserves no place in a civil society that claims to uphold these TENETS.
Obviously, there are many other possibilities to discuss besides those above, but they offer a starting point to imagine how life might improve under a PEOPLE’S CONSTITUTION of 2024.
==========================================================================
You need to make it clear you are against WEF 2030/2050 programs and infiltrating our municipalities. Make this a top point.
Everything you have written are so vague and can have a waffling effect on personal rights and freedoms. We saw the last 5 years of tyrannical governments in municipal, provincial and federal governments and their complete disregard of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms as the utmost pivotal gate to the laws of the land. Not one of Charter Rights weren't broken and all courts ruled against them due to political interference of tyrannical leaders in governments! These were put in place to override tyrants in governments to make it clear to prevent travesty of justice. Unfortunately the judiciary and governments are broken and puppets of private controlled organizations such as the World Economic Forum dictating their agendas to their puppet "penetrated" leaders. We have now agendas and plans of "young globalist leaders " infiltrating all three levels of government as well as the judiciary! This is the definition of Fascism! YOU HAVE STATE YOU ARE 💯 AGAINST THIS! Otherwise you are not democratic but are a fascist.
