Ontario Reformers Economically Right to Ontario Greens Ecologically Left

Spoke to a core group of Ontario Reformers at the Sifton Berkshire Club in London on the 21st, for its annual policy workshop as part of its ongoing policy development process for the future, with its party leader Brad Harness and party director of strategic planning Phil Miller leading the session.

Though a very principled, pragmatic and politically centred individual, I believe the Reform Party of Ontario needs to compliment the grassroots movement of the Green Party of Ontario by matching its recent ecologically left ideologic bend with its own economically right ideologic turn, the walk of the economy behind its kind of current downturned economy countermeasuring any talk of the ecology behind its kind of added carbon tax upon the overall burden. A Purple Book from Reform will have to agree with the grassroots change towards Green and its environmental common sense, which is shared by all citizens, but adding more taxation upon the already burdened working backs of the average taxpayer will not solve it, as the Green Taxation Shift would do, instead looking at who or what is polluting the most and nipping it right in the bud would make much more reasonable policy for political development in Ontario and Canada. The province's mainstream parties need the grassroot parties to get them out from under their status quo muscular heavy bureaucracy it has created, without the grassroots smaller is beautiful thinking, the Province of Ontario and Dominion of Canada will not escape the existing problems of greater jurisdictions and countries internationally.

Without a strong platform with workable policy in the area of energy, electricity and the environment, no provincial political party can give the Ontarian people a safe choice to vote for, let alone the reason for them finally to find one that can become their common sense home politically in the years to come.
