2. Leader's Message
Allen Small
"I believe that the people of Ontario should have greater control of their own lives, including greater economic and personal freedom. I'm confident that will result in greater prosperity for themselves and their families. One way this can be achieved is by reducing the size and scope of government. By supporting the Ontario Libertarian Party, you can help make this happen."
Many believe that people tend to be selfish and greedy, especially libertarians who say government should not be in the business of helping those in need and protecting us from voracious corporations. In reality libertarians believe humans are social animals, and most adopt the "good neighbour" policy. Gene Balfour provides an example of neighbours helping those whose homes were damaged in the spring floods. In a second article he recommends that the government should give citizens more choices by allowing and encouraging competition for services currently provided by government-mandated monopolies.
The Party is fortunate to have a retiree as our Leader. Allen Small has adapted to social media like a duck to water and spends a lot of time creating posts every day on the Party's six FaceBook.pages. He reports how his efforts have helped to grow the Party. Our Fan Page reaches thousands of people daily. Recently it received well over a million views.
You likely know that BC recently held a general election. What you may not know is that the BC Libertarian Party ran 35 candidates and that CBC reported Libertarian votes. Clayton Welwood, the Leader, reports on the progress of his Party.
