It Begins....

I started this blog to put into words my thoughts and beliefs about politics and the things our leaders do that change our lives.

I grew up in Winnipeg and went through my teen years and my early 20's with no interest in politics.  Something changed however, when I graduated from University and started working in the private sector.  I always had some thoughts in regards to economics and politics but never anything I would say out loud.  My thoughts were brewing but I needed a catalyst to spark my emotion and cure my apathy.  

About 2 years ago, that catalyst arrived in the name of Texas congressman, Dr. Ron Paul.

I had and still have never seen a politician speak his mind based solely on principle, without pause for vote consideration and in such a simple, logical way.  Please find out who he is, reads his book, The Revolution: A Manifesto and prepare to have your mind blown.

My thoughts, commentary and ideas will be targeted to Canadian politics and life but these issues cross all borders, and I will certainly give my 2 cents about the U.S, a country that has such an affect on us and the world. 

I hope to be able to encourage people to think about the issues that affect them, encourage debate and accomplish my goal of putting my political thought and general thoughts in regards to freedom on paper.

I believe in freedom, and that it should be extended to us as individuals.  Some will make poor choices with the freedom given to them, but most will cherish it and use it wisely.  Regulating "the many" to save us from "the few" is not the solution in my opinion and I hope to convince others of the same as we go along.
