An Openly Independent Bruce Grey Owen Sound in a Very Dependent Ontario

This past weekend, Independent Shane Jolley of the Independence for Bruce Grey Owen Sound Ontario election campaign asked if I was interested in helping him free the electoral district, constituency or riding from the traditional party machinery of well oiled politics here provincially, you bet you I am! Volunteering my time, academically through the sociology department at Redeemer University College and politically for a worthwhile cause, is key to our future as a community and mine as an individual in it here in the Twin Counties. Standing up against the same old status quo is very important and having Shane do that on behalf of us without advance prodding is magnificent, especially in helping to protect and conserve the way of life we all have been so fortunate to have in Grey Bruce Owen Sound, where else would one really want to be?

Though I will be working primarily in the backroom, as the campaign manager in charge of special operations intelligence and command, working on principles, policy and the campaign platform and the support poll maps at the desk, I will be looking forward to meeting all of you throughout the area and in various part of the Saugeen region of Cottage Country we live in.

Thinking back to my time as campaign youth chair and countless other positions on the various election campaigns of Bill Murdoch, looking back at the storied career of Eddie Sargent's storied career at Queen's Park as a child and reading about the days of political yore through the sharp eyes and ears of Agnes Macphail, I recognize the streak of independence we hold close to our collective hearts in Bruce Grey Owen Sound. Some else I note is, we never turn our backs on those we believe need our help or maybe having a tough and rough time about it, indeed times we are most definitely facing yet again, which is why this upcoming vote will be one of the most important in recent years, making the decision made in it just as important. We need to make our voice heard in this province, in this dominion and across the whole wide world itself, our think global yet act local economy, environment and culture demands it more than ever before so think Bruce Grey Owen Sound and vote Independent for Shane Jolley.
