MPs say democracy is fraying in Canada — but there's hope
The House asked MPs how they see the state of Canadian democracy now
But the eight MPs who took part in a series of one-on-one interviews with CBC's The House over the summer also expressed a hope that changes to the Canadian system, and a deeper understanding of one another, could lead to better politics.
MPs from across the country sat down with CBC reporters for conversations in their home ridings. They aired as a special summer series on The House called "Backbenchers' backyards."
Many of the MPs said they're concerned about the role social media plays in democracy. Several argued it exacerbates differences and gets in the way of constructive conversations.
"This sounds like I'm an old man. And maybe I am. But if I could get rid of one thing in society, it would be the cell phone," said Conservative MP Stephen Ellis, who represents the riding of Cumberland-Colchester in Nova Scotia.
"Sadly, I use two of them every day."
Ellis also said this country doesn't do enough to teach children and young adults how to express sadness and hurt in ways that don't manifest as anger.
"We need to sit with people and we need to hear them. We need to hear what their words are and understand what their issues are," he said.
Christine Normandin, a Bloc Québécois MP representing Saint-Jean, also has a jaundiced view of the role social media plays in political life.
"I have a few colleagues of mine who were there in previous elections telling me that if they ever retire from politics, it's going to be for two reasons," she said.
"Either they will be old enough, or they will have enough of it because of social media."
Reaching people in the real world
Several MPs, including Normandin, said they're trying to combat isolation and other potential effects of social media in a simple way — by meeting people in person.
Liberal MP Sameer Zuberi, representing the Quebec riding of Pierrefonds-Dollard, said he thinks the 2021 election actually helped to bring more people together in a difficult time during the pandemic.
"Our social relationships were strained and I think the fabric of democracy also, as a result of not being in contact, was strained. And so the human contact through connecting with voters in election time … is extremely important," he said.

For some MPs, the negativity of social media has crossed into both threatened and real abuse.
Jenny Kwan, NDP MP for Vancouver East, said she worries about rising extremism on the right, inspired by former U.S. president Donald Trump.
"I saw how people became very much open to the whole idea of discrimination and racism and and white supremacy openly," she said. "And I'm seeing some of that, you know, emerging in our community."
Just as she and CBC reporter Anne Penman were discussing the issue in Kwan's riding, the MP was confronted by someone who began to shout racist abuse at her, including, "You don't belong here, Jenny" and "Go home, Jenny."
"I hope that anger comes from a place of need, for people to be heard and be supported. So I work hard not to take it personally, even though it's very personal and sometimes very hurtful," Kwan said.
"I've had people say to my face, for example, with COVID-19, that it is the 'Kwan virus.'"
Kwan's caucus colleague, Nunavut MP Lori Idlout, said the wave of threats aimed at MPs last year was one of two things that made her fear for Canadian democracy — the other being the 2022 convoy protests.
"MPs as lawmakers need to know that they can do their work without fear, without knowing that their families' lives are at risk because of what other threats might be given to them," Idlout said.
While she sometimes feels down about the state of democracy, Kwan said there's often a simple fix.
"I will come back and I will walk the streets. I'll reconnect with people, talk to the people," she said. "Not as a politician, just as a human being. And [I] ground myself. Then I realize why I'm here."
Reaching out
Many MPs agreed that a sense of dislocation, of being misunderstood or devalued, lies at the heart of some of the anger present in Canadian politics.
Conservative MP Fraser Tolmie spoke at length of how many of his constituents in the Saskatchewan riding of Moose Jaw-Lake-Centre-Lanigan felt alienated by politics in Ottawa.
"They feel frustrated," he said. "Because, you know, the challenges that they're facing — they feel like they're not being heard."
That view was echoed by his fellow Conservative MP Michael Barrett, in Leeds-Grenville-Thousand Islands and Rideau Lakes, who argued policies like the carbon tax punished activities that people in his riding saw as simply part of their everyday lives and livelihoods.
Tolmie said his job is to make sure he's listening to his constituents.
"When ego and pride get in the way and it's my way or the highway, then you've lost touch with the people that you represent. And you have to remember that not everybody voted for you," he said.
Each MP saw slightly different solutions to the problems facing Canadian politics, but many focused on a shift in understanding — and a collective increase in patience and civility.
Liberal Iqwinder Gaheer, the MP for Mississauga-Malton, said he worries about widespread democratic backsliding around the world.
"I think Canada has kept its borders open and kept its heart open," he said. "That doesn't mean that we should take it for granted."
Gaheer, one of several MPs interviewed this summer who immigrated to Canada, made a call for a new shared understanding of common purpose among politicians.
"Essentially, it has to be that understanding that we are not Liberal Canadians, we are not Conservative Canadians, we are not Bloc, NDP — we are Canadians."
The "Bacbkbenchers' Backyards" summer series was compiled from interviews conducted across the country by Catherine Cullen, Jennifer Chevalier, Emma Godmere, Kristen Everson, Christian Paas-Lang, Mary-Catherine McIntosh, Anne Penman and Nick Murray. You can find links to every episode here.

But he is correct. When the Libs started their politically correct, finger wagging ethic, in order to silence dissent in 2015, predictably it caused a backlash and now Canada is irreparably divided and H8-- is the new national currency

It’s not about me disagreeing. It’s about targeting certain groups, fitting them nicely into a category of undesirables and telling everyone else how bad they are. That is divisiveness.
Shameful, but it’s worked for the past 2 elections. And the MO continues.

By Greg Piper As U.S. service members ramp up their legal challenges to military COVID-19 vaccine mandates, their Canadian counterparts are joining the action. The Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms (JCCF) said Tuesday it had filed "the first of many [planned] injunctions" against the dismissal of Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) members for refusing the shots "on the basis of health concerns, religious or conscientious objections." The Canadian civil liberties group has received "hundreds of requests" for help since January from active-duty members who are facing removal under the Item 5(f) process, it said in a press release. CAF considers them "unsuitable for further service" because they developed "personal weakness or behaviour" due to factors "wholly or chiefly ... within [their] control" by refusing COVID vaccines. Canada's Department of National Defence confirmed to Canadian news organization True North in November that members of the armed forces risk removal as "unsuitable" unless they get an approved accommodation. CAF's vaccination rate was 98.3% in January when it launched formal proceedings against more than 900 members for noncompliance, The Canadian Press reported. Legal challenges are much further along below the border. Navy SEALs with religious objections, represented by First Liberty Institute, won a reprieve in January from a federal judge, who then expanded their action into a class-action suit covering the entire service in March. The Navy said May 25 it has granted 28 religious accommodations. Air Force service members also represented by the Christian legal defense nonprofit recently requested a "class wide temporary restraining order" after their religious exemptions were denied. Only 68 exemptions have been approved. JCCF's first client to go to court is Shannon Jones, "a healthy and skilled" CAF member who stands to lose her pension unless her injunction is approved at next week's hearing. Director of Communications Marnie Cathcart told Just the News it wasn't sharing its filings "at this time." "This is fundamentally a patched together policy designed to punish those who do not get in line with the political objectives assigned to [Department of National Defence] policy from Ottawa," said the lawyer commissioned for the project, Phillip Millar. The vaccine mandate has "nothing to do with operational effectiveness as it is simply a political move imposed on the military by the Federal Government," he said in JCCF's release. A former combat officer and assistant crown attorney who says he has won compensation cases for sexual assault victims and cleared the "wrongfully accused," Millar recently applied to join the "hardcore litigation department" billionaire Elon Musk is building at Tesla. He calls himself a "Samurai for hire" on Twitter. Millar told Just the News these were his first COVID vaccine cases for service members. He has previously represented university professors put on unpaid leave on the same grounds. He expects one or two injunction hearings per month and is planning to add cases on behalf of unvaccinated youth who are prevented from training in the "Army Cadet" program. Millar believes CAF chose the "unsuitable" administrative removal process because a vaccine-specific rule lets members challenge their removal in court. If he can secure injunctions for clients, they can remain in the service while finishing the multiyear grievance process, Millar said. JCCF kicked off the legal effort a month ago with 16 CAF members, including 28-year reservist James Topp, who faces court martial for "conduct to the prejudice of good order and discipline." He posted a Tik Tok video in which a uniformed Topp says he's on unpaid leave "because I will not change my vaccination status," the CBC reported. The video did not violate a military policy on "people in uniform making political statements" because Topp was "speaking about a policy that directly affects him and his conviction," Millar said. Topp is walking across Canada to protest COVID mandates and support those punished for noncompliance or coerced into compliance, chronicling his journey on Tik Tok for the past few months. He reached the Lake Superior town of Marathon on Monday. He started his journey from Vancouver on Feb. 20, the same day police cracked down on Freedom Convoy protesters in Ottawa under Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's unprecedented invocation of the Emergencies Act. "I have to watch what I say from here on out for a little while because the Eye of Sauron is upon me," Topp said as he left, likening CAF to the primary antagonist in "The Lord of the Rings." One of the jailed Freedom Convoy leaders has been banned from speaking her mind, at least on social media, as a condition of keeping her freedom. The government argued last month that Tamara Lich should be sent back to jail for violating her March bail conditions, which included a ban on supporting anything "related" to the Freedom Convoy, including on social media, and travel to Ontario. A supporter sent her a pendant emblazoned with a truck image and the words "Freedom" and "Canada" and asked for a photo of her wearing it, which Lich gave permission to post, the CBC reported. She also accepted JCCF's George Jonas Freedom Award for "spending 18 days unjustly jailed" for leading a "peaceful protest" against COVID mandates. The award ceremony is June 16 in Toronto, but Lich testified she wouldn't attend without court permission. Justice Kevin Phillips agreed these actions didn't violate her bail conditions and amended them to let her travel to Ontario but not downtown Ottawa, which had been paralyzed by the convoy. Even though he said Canadian courts "are not the thought police," Phillips refused to lift the social media ban because that would facilitate "toxic groupthink," JCCF said after the hearing.

Topp marched from Vancouver to Ottawa to protest remaining COVID-19 vaccine mandates. (Jean Delisle/CBC) The Canadian soldier who recently led a protest march to Ottawa is now facing a court martial for having spoken out against the federal government's COVID-19 vaccine requirements while wearing his uniform. Warrant Officer James Topp was recently notified that he will be allowed to have his case heard in a military court instead of by his chain of command, according to the army reservist's civilian lawyer. Phillip Millar said the decision represents a second about-face after the military initially offered his client a court martial when he was charged in February, only to rescind the offer and send his case to Topp's unit commanders. "It's hard to know what they're doing, because I don't think they really know what they're doing," said Millar. "But now they're saying it's a court martial." The decision raises the stakes for Topp, according to military law experts. Courts martial are allowed to impose heavier sentences against Armed Forces members than if they are tried by their chain of command in what is known as a summary trial. Freedom Convoy protesters, revellers mix on Canada Day in Ottawa Freedom Convoy protesters return to Ottawa for Canada Day Police make arrests after anti-vaccine mandate army reservist leads march into Ottawa It also means he will be allowed to have legal representation at trial — which wouldn't necessarily have been the case had he been tried by his commanding officer — while his trial will receive much more public attention. "The stakes are obviously going to be increased in a public-relations context," said retired lieutenant-colonel Rory Fowler, who is now a lawyer specializing in military law in Kingston, Ont. The Department of National Defence did not respond to questions about whether Topp's case was changed from a court martial to summary trial and back again. Potentially stiffer penalties Topp was charged in February with two counts of conduct to the prejudice of good order and discipline after the army reservist appeared in uniform in two online videos criticizing vaccine requirements for military personnel and other federal employees. Canadian Armed Forces members are severely restricted in the comments they can make while in uniform, particularly when it comes to criticizing government policies, in large part to protect the military from any perception of politicization. Topp, who is now in the process of being released from the military, later led a months-long march from Vancouver that ended in Ottawa last week and was supported by many of the same people behind this year's "Freedom Convoy." He has since become a symbol of sorts for Canadians opposed to vaccines, vaccine mandates and perceived government overreach. Some Conservative MPs have also hitched their wagon to him, including leadership candidate Pierre Poilievre. While Millar questioned the military's back and forth with his client, and said he planned to question the way Topp's charges were handled, he still welcomed the latest decision to allow a court martial.

(Frédéric Pepin/Radio-Canada) Millar said he plans to call expert witnesses to question the need and efficacy of the military's vaccine requirement. The requirement imposed by Chief of the Defence Staff Gen. Wayne Eyre late last year remains in place, even though a similar mandate for most other federal public servants has now been suspended. "It opens the door for us to call witnesses about the decision to charge him," Millar said. "It opens the door for us to call experts on whether or not there was any science behind the mandate." While the shift from a summary trial back to a court martial means Topp will be afforded an independent trial with legal representation, Fowler said it also means the army reservist faces potentially stiffer penalties if convicted. CPC MPs meet with Freedom Convoy organizers Military investigating at least 6 active soldiers for supporting convoy protests Under a summary trial, commanding officers are largely restricted to handing down reprimands and fines. If he is found guilty by court martial, however, Topp faces the threat of dismissal from the military with disgrace and up to two years in prison. Retired colonel Michel Drapeau said that while the military may have had a number of reasons for changing the case from a summary trial back to a court martial, he believes the latter is the appropriate venue for hearing Topp's case. "It provides for a trial in an open court with all [Charter of Rights and Freedoms] legal guarantees," Drapeau said in an email. "It also provides for the provision of free legal support to the member." CBC's Journalistic Standards and Practice https://www.fct-cf.gc.ca/en/ The Honourable B.

Not surprisingly, however, there are early signs of resistance within the CAF ranks. Reasons and arguments for such resistance will abound; lack of personnel, growing operational commitments, the need to consult (this excuse has already been used by the MND). There are also sacred cows like the RMC which can and is already rallying support among the military brass. The truth is: Canada and the CAF simply cannot afford ANOTHER study; the Lamer, Lesage, Deschamps, Fish and Arbour studies are more enough to point the way to the required reform.https://ottawacitizen. .. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: David Amos <david.raymond.amos333@gmail.

"We don't have all of the evidence, but what I would be interested in knowing is what evidence they have that there was a threat, a bribe or other corrupt means to persuade Ms. Brennan to lie — because simply asking somebody to lie is not obstruction of justice," said retired colonel Rory Fowler, a military lawyer now in private practice. There is a 10-year maximum sentence for a conviction on an obstruction of justice charge, Fowler said. PM's chief adviser knew of 'misconduct' allegation against top military commander, committee told He added that it is unprecedented that such a senior retired officer is charged with a criminal offence. "Previous to this, the most senior rank in living memory, the most senior rank who was facing a charge like this, was the then-vice-chief of the defence staff [Vice-Admiral] Mark Norman," said Fowler. Norman was accused in 2017 of leaking cabinet secrets and charged by the RCMP with a single count of breach of trust. The charge was stayed two years later." "Defence expert Charlotte Duval-Lantoine said the charge against Vance is serious and a demonstration by the federal government and the military that there will be no impunity. Restoring confidence in the military justice system will depend on whether he is found guilty and punished, she suggested. "We don't really know what is the outcome of this charge, but there is that idea now that even a chief of the defence staff needs to be subject to the same punishment, to the same sanctions as anyone else in the Canadian Armed Forces," said Duval-Lantoine, a fellow at the Canadian Global Affairs Institute. The ongoing sexual misconduct crisis has prompted calls for the resignation of Defence Minister Harjit Sajjan, which were renewed Thursday once the obstruction charge was announced." http://roryfowlerlaw.com/ Rory Fowler 221 Queen St Kingston, ON K7K 1B4 rory@roryfowlerlaw.com (613) 777 3820 Lieutenant-Colonel (retired) Rory G.

(Submitted) Evidence in a bizarre case of a Canadian soldier accused of drugging comrades with marijuana-laced cupcakes was lost by military police, says the soldier's lawyer — who accuses the Department of National Defence of conducting a sloppy, incompetent investigation. Bombardier Chelsea Cogswell's military trial is slated to start next month. It's believed to be the first of its kind. She faces 18 charges, including administering a noxious substance to eight soldiers without their consent in July 2018 at CFB Gagetown. At the time, the soldiers were taking part in a live-fire exercise involving explosives and weapons drills. CBC News has obtained a copy of a court application filed by Cogswell's lawyer Ian Kasper. In it, Kasper argues the military should throw out evidence of traces of THC — the main psychoactive compound in cannabis — gathered from one cupcake wrapper because the other cupcake wrappers were lost and never tested. "The chain of command and the military police did not preserve all the wrappers for further investigation," Kasper wrote in the application. "The loss of such important evidence was the result of incompetence. "The chain of command's loss of the cupcake wrappers was so shockingly negligent as to constitute an abuse of process." The military is in the midst of an institutional crisis over its handling of misconduct in the ranks. Critics have said military police are ill-equipped to investigate offences. 'There's a lack of expertise. A lack of competence' Military law expert Michel Drapeau has been arguing for years that the military police do not have the depth, supervision and training to conduct criminal investigations. A sniper taking part in a competition between peers at CFB Gagetown in Oromocto, N.B. (Kevin Bissett/Canadian Press) Drapeau reviewed the court documents obtained by CBC News. He pointed out that it took roughly 17 months for the military police to realize they hadn't secured all of the wrappers, and to investigate where they went. "Seventeen months required to discover it is disturbing, to say the least," he said. "There is something lacking there. It could be a lack of expertise. It could also be incompetence, obviously." Cogswell's unusual case made headlines around the world. The Department of National Defence has said it's believed to be the first case of a soldier charged with feeding marijuana to colleagues without their consent. Cogswell's mother told CBC News strangers have bombarded her with hate messages online and she found her vehicle keyed in her driveway on one occasion. "The military community was entitled to a proper and complete investigation, not a half-hearted and incomplete one that saw crucial evidence lost," reads Kasper's application. "The applicant's career and liberty are on the line." Regional military prosecutors responded, saying the evidence was never lost since it was never in government authorities' possession in the first place. "Any cupcake wrappers which were not collected had been disposed of by witnesses or complainants prior to commencement or contemplation of an investigation," reads the military's response to the court application. "There was no abuse of process." 'Loopy, anxious and paranoid' At the time of the incident on July 21, 2018, Cogswell was working at a mobile canteen at the army's combat training centre in New Brunswick, according to court martial documents. Cogswell offered some troops from the gun detachment free cupcakes she had baked that she said contained coconut oil and avocados, according to the document. At least nine soldiers ate the cupcakes; within an hour, some described feeling "high," the court martial documents said. The charges are related to an incident at this firing range at CFB Gagetown in Oromocto, N.B. (David Smith/Canadian Press) "They variously described feeling tired, exhausted, loopy, anxious and paranoid," said Kasper's court document. "Others, however, believed they were dehydrated or were suffering heat exhaustion." Citing safety concerns, the military called off the live fire training exercise on that hot summer day and loaded those affected into an air-conditioned truck for assessment. A medical technician on scene ruled out heat injuries, according to the documents. The commanding officer called in military police to investigate the possibility that "the members of the artillery school were suffering from mind-altering drugs while on a live fire exercise," Kasper's court document states. Soldier gathered five wrappers One of the soldiers who ate a cupcake and felt fine collected about five wrappers and gave them to the chain of command — one Warrant Officer Mangrove, according to the court document. The base military police officer who attended the scene, Cpl. Benjamin Whitehall, obtained one of the wrappers from a soldier who got it from Mangrove and tested it for drugs. The test came back negative but later tested positive for traces of THC, according to both Kasper's court document and the response from military prosecutors. The military police only discovered other wrappers existed almost a year and a half later, in January 2020, after a request from the accused's lawyer. "No explanation has been proffered," wrote Kasper. "The only reasonable conclusion is that they were lost through incompetence. The wrappers are at the heart of the case ... and they could afford forensic evidence tending to disprove the offences charged." The military wrote in its defence that it doesn't know where the other wrappers went "missing." At the time of the incident, the focus was on possible health and safety risks, not the "possibility of a future criminal investigation," said the military prosecutors. "There is no evidence of any attempt to conceal or destroy evidence in this case, nor is there any evidence of bad faith on the part of the Crown," the prosecutors wrote. "In fact, it is more likely than not that obtaining the missing wrappers would have strengthened the Crown's case." Civilian system should investigate military misconduct claims for now, ex-judge says Fifth Estate Commanding officers interfered in sexual assault investigations, retired military police officer says Military justice system at crossroads as court hears case on judges' independence The Canadian Forces Provost Marshal would not tell CBC News if the military police involved in the case are with the base or with the Canadian Forces National Investigative Service unit. The Military Police Complaints Commission will not confirm that it's received a complaint in connection to Cogswell's case. In a statement, the commission said it does not release information or the identity of complainants or subjects in "non-public interest cases." Cogswell's court martial is set to begin Aug. 3 in Oromocto, New Brunswick. Along with charges for administering a noxious substance, Cogswell also faces nine counts of conduct to the prejudice of good order and discipline and one count of behaving in a disgraceful manner. Cogswell faces a maximum sentence of two years imprisonment, the defence department said. ABOUT THE AUTHOR Ashley Burke Reporter Ashley Burke is a senior reporter with CBC's Parliamentary Bureau.

If your world is all screwed up, rearrange it." The 1979 Trooper song Raise a Little Hell blared on the speakers at the 8th Hussars Sports Center Friday evening as people filed in to watch the Fundy candidates debate the issues. It was an accurate, if unofficial, theme song for the debate. The crowd of over 200 spectators was dwarfed by the huge arena, but as they chose their seats, it was clear the battle lines were drawn. Supporters of Conservative candidate Rob Moore naturally took the blue chairs on the right of the rink floor while John Herron's Liberalswent left. There were splashes of orange, supporters of NDP Pat Hanratty, mixed throughout. Perhaps the loudest applause came from a row towards the back, where supporters of independent candidate David Amos sat. The debate was moderated by Leo Melanson of CJCW Radio and was organized by the Sussex Valley Jaycees. Candidates wereasked a barrage of questions bypanelists Gisele McKnight of the Kings County Record and Lisa Spencer of CJCW. Staying true to party platforms for the most part, candidates responded to questions about the gun registry, same sex marriage, the exodus of young people from the Maritimes and regulated gas prices. Herron and Moore were clear competitors,constantly challenging each other on their answers and criticizing eachothers’ party leaders. Hanratty flew under the radar, giving short, concise responses to the questions while Amos provided some food for thought and a bit of comic relief with quirky answers. "I was raised with a gun," Amos said in response to the question of thenational gun registry. "Nobody's getting mine and I'm not paying 10 cents for it." Herron, a Progressive Conservative MP turned Liberal, veered from his party'splatform with regard to gun control. "It was ill advised but well intentioned," Herron said. "No matter what side of the house I am on, I'm voting against it." Pat Hanratty agreed there were better places for the gun registry dollars to be spent.Recreational hunters shouldn't have been penalized by this gun registry," he said. The gun registry issues provoked the tempers of Herron and Moore. At one point Herron got out of his seat and threw a piece of paper in front of Moore. "Read that," Herron said to Moore, referring to the voting record of Conservative Party leader Steven Harper. According to Herron, Harper voted in favour of the registry on the first and second readings of the bill in 1995. "He voted against it when it counted, at final count," Moore said. "We needa government with courage to register sex offenders rather than register the property of law abiding citizens." The crowd was vocal throughout the evening, with white haired men and women heckling from the Conservative side. "Shut up John," one woman yelled. "How can you talk about selling out?" a man yelled whenHerron spoke about his fear that the Conservatives are selling farmers out. Although the Liberal side was less vocal, Kings East MLA Leroy Armstrong weighed in at one point. "You’re out of touch," Armstrong yelled to Moore from the crowd when the debate turned to the cost of post-secondary education. Later in the evening Amos challenged Armstrong to a public debate of their own. "Talk is cheap. Any time, anyplace," Armstrong responded. As the crowd made its way out of the building following the debate, candidates worked the room. They shook hands with well-wishers and fielded questions from spectators-all part of the decision-making process for the June 28 vote. Cutline – David Amos, independent candidate in Fundy, with some of his favourite possessions—motorcycles. McKnight/KCR The Unconventional Candidate David Amos Isn’t Campaigning For Your Vote, But…. By Gisele McKnight FUNDY—He has a pack of cigarettes in his shirt pocket, a chain on his wallet, a beard at least a foot long, 60 motorcycles and a cell phone that rings to the tune of "Yankee Doodle." Meet the latest addition to the Fundy ballot—David Amos. The independent candidate lives in Milton, Massachusetts with his wife and two children, but his place of residence does not stop him from running for office in Canada. One has only to be at least 18, a Canadian citizen and not be in jail to meet Elections Canada requirements. When it came time to launch his political crusade, Amos chose his favourite place to do so—Fundy. Amos, 52, is running for political office because of his dissatisfaction with politicians. "I’ve become aware of much corruption involving our two countries," he said. "The only way to fix corruption is in the political forum." The journey that eventually led Amos to politics began in Sussex in 1987. He woke up one morning disillusioned with life and decided he needed to change his life. "I lost my faith in mankind," he said. "People go through that sometimes in midlife." So Amos, who’d lived in Sussex since 1973, closed his Four Corners motorcycle shop, paid his bills and hit the road with Annie, his 1952 Panhead motorcycle. "Annie and I rode around for awhile (three years, to be exact) experiencing the milk of human kindness," he said. "This is how you renew your faith in mankind – you help anyone you can, you never ask for anything, but you take what they offer." For those three years, they offered food, a place to sleep, odd jobs and conversation all over North America. Since he and Annie stopped wandering, he has married, fathered a son and a daughter and become a house-husband – Mr. Mom, as he calls himself. He also describes himself in far more colourful terms—a motorcyclist rather than a biker, a "fun-loving, free-thinking, pig-headed individual," a "pissed-off Maritimer" rather than an activist, a proud Canadian and a "wild colonial boy." Ironically, the man who is running for office has never voted in his life. "But I have no right to criticize unless I offer my name," he said. "It’s alright to bitch in the kitchen, but can you walk the walk?" Amos has no intention of actively campaigning. "I didn’t appreciate it when they (politicians) pounded on my door interrupting my dinner," he said. "If people are interested, they can call me. I’m not going to drive my opinions down their throats." And he has no campaign budget, nor does he want one. "I won’t take any donations," he said. "Just try to give me some. It’s not about money. It goes against what I’m fighting about." What he’s fighting for is the discussion of issues – tainted blood, the exploitation of the Maritimes’ gas and oil reserves and NAFTA, to name a few. "The political issues in the Maritimes involve the three Fs – fishing, farming and forestry, but they forget foreign issues," he said. "I’m death on NAFTA, the back room deals and free trade. I say chuck it (NAFTA) out the window. NAFTA is the North American Free Trade Agreement which allows an easier flow of goods between Canada, the United States and Mexico. Amos disagrees with the idea that a vote for him is a wasted vote. "There are no wasted votes," he said. "I want people like me, especially young people, to pay attention and exercise their right. Don’t necessarily vote for me, but vote." Although…if you’re going to vote anyway, Amos would be happy to have your X by his name. "I want people to go into that voting booth, see my name, laugh and say, ‘what the hell.’" | |
