They should organize the electorate to be able to bring forward their concerns and find solutions together on a non-partisan basis. The Marxist-Leninist Party is calling everyone’s attention to the need for renewal of the political process so that the electorate can exercise more control over the government. This is an issue that affects all Canadians regardless of their political affiliation or lack thereof. I am running to put the need for political renewal on the agenda.
My priority is to involve the working people and youth of Essex in defeating both the Conservatives and Liberals. This will make a clear statement against the fraudulent neo-liberal austerity agenda and the theft of public funds by government to pay the rich, which both the Conservatives and Liberals champion. It will send the message that we reject austerity, the sell-out of our manufacturing base and agriculture along with our resources, and the privatization of our public services. It will put us in a better position, no matter who is elected, to defend our rights and the rights of all." --- Interesting riding facts:
