Reason for running
submitted by the candidate or their team
Taxation is theft, people should be free to live without mandates, fees, fines, paperwork and government agents in their way. We stand firmly on our principles to ensure all individuals have the freedom to live their lives as they see fit, as long as they do no harm to another.
Most federal decisions and regulation should instead be provincial decisions for New Brunswickers to decide for themselves.
Most provincial decisions and regulation in New Brunswick should actually be left up to individual municipalities and communities to decide for themselves.
I have traveled many places and met lots of people from different backgrounds and walks of life a few things that brought me into speaking up and standing up is freedom of choice and liberty of self. It’s why I decided to reach out the newly created Libertarian party of New Brunswick. Now I have group of like minded individuals to stand with for all.
