Doing amazing work reengaging the public’s interest in local politics.

Global change really does start local.

I’ve been on the road defending our Natural Health Products, revitalizing political engagement, and espousing the value of local governance.

Read my Substack to learn how you can be heard.

What a crazy future we face if we do nothing. What are we to do when others can tell us what we can and can’t do with our health? What’s next!? @dshostal

Hope to see people in Perth next week. Read the article and don't forget to RSVP.

@substack Hey Substack, I recently sent an email to my subscribers and for some reason the tracking redirects you create broke our links. Can't find a way to report this on the site so thought I would bring it up here. Hope to hear back.

Today, we honour those who volunteered to take a stand against tyranny, and defended our principles of freedom, justice, and democracy.

Courage is not the absence of fear, it is doing what you believe is right–despite your fears. #LestWeForget

Government is pervasive in our lives, but who is really responsible for the decisions made and the administration of authorities? Who is really in charge of the chaos?

Across #Ontario, #LocalGovernmentWeek is underway.

For ~15 years, local councils have opened their chambers to their communities. This year @townsmithsfalls visited @SFDCIRedHawks to show the next-gen of electors how local decisions are made.

True power is meant to come from the bottom up, not from the top down. Liberal democracy is founded upon that principle, but it’s reliant on our participation at all levels. First, we must start local.

We hope everyone has a wonderful thanksgiving with their families and local communities. It is time we all come together.

Democracy isn't a spectator sport; voter apathy and self-government are incompatible. Freedom is preserved by those who participate; neutrality leads to oppression.

#PoliSci say people get "the gov they deserve", but what does that mean? https://t.co/oToTV6P2sY

Creeping social activism by progressive self-righteous pontificators has replaced educators and Trustees.

Is it time to abolish the school board system? I say no, but it is time for some hard reforms

Here’s my ideas, what are yours?

Voting in municipal elections does more than select your preferred candidates; when communities actively participate, it tells those who elected that they’ll be held accountable.

Just because your country has elections, doesn't mean it's a democracy, and a liberal democracy is only as sound as the people elected to secure the individual rights and freedoms of all its citizens.

[Local Action @LocalActionCA]

Autonomy, accountability, responsibility. Once hallmarks of municipal governments, we have seen the erosion of our councils and their authority over local decision making. We need to reverse this, before our local voices become redundant.

[Local Action @LocalActionCA]

Time for Local Action, to restore trust in our municipal politics. While #ONPoli bolsters their control through #StrongMayorPowers, we say it is time for #StrongLocalVoices.

Join us, return to local, learn more on our Substack, Canadian Political Review.
