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 #RememberanceDay #CanadaRemembers

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? Learn from our latest article: localaction.substack.com/p/h… #ONPoli #CDNPol #Government #Politics #Education

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. #LocalGovWeek #LocalAction #ONPoli

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. Learn Why:

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? localaction.substack.com/p/v… #ONPoli #CDNPoli

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? localaction.substack.com/p/s… #ONPoli #Education

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. Learn how to ensure your vote always matters: localaction.substack.com/p/a… #ONPoli #CDNPoli

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. localaction.substack.com/p/r… #ONPoli
