About Hope

"When evil people plot, good people must plan. When evil people shout ugly words of hatred, good people must commit themselves to the glories of love." - Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.



All the great things are simple, and many can be expressed in a single word: freedom, justice, honor, duty, mercy, hope.
Winston Churchill


Any people anywhere, being inclined and having the power, have the right to rise up, and shake off the existing government, and form a new one that suits them better. This is a most valuable - a most sacred right - a right, which we hope and believe, is to liberate the world.
Abraham Lincoln

Compassionate Policies for our People

Grief is widespread in Canadian society and among the people.  Dealing with this grief effectively will help us move forward into the challenges and opportunities of the 21st Century with healing and confidence.  

Here are just a few of the things we'd like to do to provide leadership in this important part of human life and experience.  Canadians want to be and deserve to be treated with kindness and compassion as shareholders in the national democratic franchise they have helped to build and protect.

DNA Missing Persons Data Base - The Lindsey Jill Nicholls Law will bring comfort and relief to families whose loved ones have disappeared in some cases.  People heal better with truth.  This can bring closure of some sort to hurting families.  We intend to help free Canadians from their griefs so they can participate fully in society.  This is Justice with Compassion.

The Senate Human Rights Committee Equal Rights for Children Program - Bill S-209 implementation which will make respectful use of the work of the Senate Human Rights Committee, sponsors of this bill. - ** National Security Priority

* The Laura Smith Haviland Global Slave Trade Eradication Program - pro-Human Rights action through policy, legislation and enforcement

* The Doctor Gabor Mate National Addiction Treatment Program - treatments that work rather than 'war on drugs' which feeds the military industry without helping addicts. Dr. Mate was born in the Auschwitz Concentration Camp during World War 2 and has special insight into addiction and treatments that are effective.  He is well known for the safe injection site he directs in Vancouver.  Another amazing Canadian who is helping us build a Sustainable Future.

Dr. Gabor Mate with Steve Paikin on TVO about addiction and compassion. 


The Senator Roméo Dallaire Veterans of Foreign Conflicts and Foreign Service Priority Support Program - including - Members of the Armed Forces, diplomats, intelligence personnel, security personnel and families. Priceless!  Named after the Hero of Rwanda and Hotel Rwanda who is a voice for Veterans Rights in the Canadian Parliament.

The current conditions in which our vets live are shameful and we need to start living without this kind of shame.  Naming a highway after our heroes is not enough.

These are some of the Treasures that will make Canada The Wealthy Society in the 21st Century.  It's far more than money and personal ownership and enhances these things through national policy and goodwill towards all Canadians.


Sustained Intentionality is the simple plan we need to accomplish these things and improve the lives of millions of our people.  They are our greatest treasure.  Just keep working at it no matter what and do not entertain the possibility of failure.  That's simply not an option if we intend to deliver hope to our children and the generations who follow.  


This is what I call Political Parenting.  In order to be an effective parent in Canada people need to be involved in the political processes in order to protect the lives and interests of their children.
