Minority and Resilency equal Opportunity for Independence

As we state in the opening preamble of our own 2011 Ontario provincial election camapaign statement of principles, Bruce Grey Owen Sound is home to independent minded citizens with the resilience, endurance and perseverance to find new opportunity in the face of difficulty, indeed these are difficult and tumultuous days we live in. Unknown are the environs we move towards, in various areas, economically a slowdown is all but guaranteed, how deep no one knows, politically a minority is also in the cards, whose it will be for sure, with Tweedle Red and Tweedle Blue neck and neck tied, is completely uncertain.

With such a history of resilency economically and knowledge of a minority politically, now is the right time for Bruce Grey Owen Sound to declare its political, economic and cultural independence, with a vote for Independent Shane Jolley.

An Ontario Legislature at Queen's Park will have no mandate, rudderless without any clear sense of aim, lacking the people first principles an Independent can give it. The lone common voice of the Bruce Grey Owen Sound people could finally be heard in Toronto independently, finally making a real difference, especially during this era of fiscal and economic insecurity where critical thinking, not party platform parroting, to begin getting out of the hole we have dug ourselves into. An important vote for Independence could give Bruce Grey Owen Sound the kingmaking power and control of the 107 seat Assembly in that minority government, if we decided to properly use the local resiliency we have always had to bend yet not break, to simply be strong and resilient in times of trouble and thus must resurrect the maverick political spirits of United Farmer Labour Agnes Macphail, Liberal Red Grit Eddie Sargent and Progressive Conservative Tory Bill Murdoch by voting Independent again with Shane Jolley for a more responsible citizen, community and country across the Province of Ontario.
