TORONTO - A Brand New Alternative For People Who Have Had Enough Of The Bickering In Mainstream Political Parties.

“Political Parties in Ontario fall into two main categories: mainstream and fringe parties. Regardless of the parties’ sizes, they follow one common dominator, they have their own policies. At election time all they do is force feed the public with their agendas, and in the case of the mainstream parties, they exaggerate and even lie to get their votes. In the last couple of decades we have witnessed that these career politicians shed light on just a few sensitive issues at election time, to invoke the public’s emotions temporarily, just enough to last a few weeks of the so-called campaign. In other words, the mainstream parties dictate what the citizen’s issues are or should be.” said Bahman Yazdanfar, founder of the Canadians Choice Party.

Yazdanfar continued, “The decrease in the number of voters in recent years demonstrates dissatisfaction and mistrust by the public of the government and the way it is being run. In 2007 the Ontario Liberal Party formed its government based on the 42% of those who cast their vote, but in fact this translates to only 22% of eligible voters in Ontario, and a mere 14% of the population in this province. In addition we bring to the count a certain percentage of the voters who cast their votes based on the party’s brand and not their local candidates, not to mention those who vote for one mainstream party over the other based on spite. Then the question is whether a government that is elected by 22% of the eligible voters can and will protect the interests of the other 78%.”

Yazdanfar added, “The non-voters are the ones who feel, and rightfully so, that politicians treat them unfairly, see the election process as a total waste of their tax money, have no hope for a better future, and are sick and tired of unfounded promises that are given to them at election time. My advice to these non-voters, who pride themselves on their decisions, is to vote for their Independent Candidate. “Why?” do you ask. Because as long as we vote for those who are not part of the suffering population, and who are politicians and members of the aristocratic oligarchy, we give them the permission to work for their party leaders, non-delegated industrialists, union bosses, and special groups; and simply waive our rights to demand answers from them.“

Yazdanfar continued, “The election process has become a boxing match between a few mainstream political party leaders, and the voters are just spectators, instead of being the driving force. Just shy of 48% of Ontarians did not vote in the last provincial election in Ontario. Although many of these citizens want to vote for alternative candidates, they feel stuck between a rock and a hard place. On the one hand they do not trust mainstream political parties, and on the other hand they feel that their independent candidates will not be able to represent them, even if they have been elected.”

Yazdanfar emphasized, “After rethinking connections between established ideas, and re-combining them in an entirely new way, implementing an unconventional and outside-the-box thinking approach, the Canadians Choice Party was conceptualized. This is to cater to citizens and candidates who are not affiliated with any mainstream political parties, without imposing any agenda, hidden or otherwise, on the public; the best of two worlds and the first of its kind in Ontario and Canada. Candidates can bring their individual resources, share their experiences and their constituents’ issues, run under one brand, and not be subjected to private agendas of a few individuals, elected and unelected!”

Yazdanfar added, “Poverty, poor social services, and health care, are the main issues that have to be tackled at once. These are merely the signs and symptoms of the disease of unemployment and disparity. Unemployment is a result of the sluggish economy in recent years, and inadequate government policies and laws that favour some above others have led to widespread disparity across Ontario. These diseases have been neglected by governments, Liberal and Conservative, in the last two decades. Concerned individuals who have high levels of values and respect for their communities and neighbourhoods employ their skills and techniques to analyze the present environment, to understand public needs, and to apply faith in principles, in order to carry out their day-to-day responsibilities and to keep themselves motivated to help their constituents.”

Yazdanfar continued, “Instead of using our resources, human and natural, for needed social services, our government pays a big chunk of its revenue to the private banks to cover interest on the money it borrows. Ontarians are paying over $55-million per day in interest on the provincial debt alone, which affects needed public services such as health care, affordable housing and needed support services, to name a few. And as a result we will only impoverish ourselves and our children, our grandchildren and their children’s children, if we don’t take action at this time.”

Yazdanfar added, “If and when concerned candidates get hired by their constituents, they will have the ability to promote participation of citizens to oversee, investigate, and to hold the MPP's accountable for their actions or lack thereof. Under the Canadians Choice Party brand, they have leverage to assure budgets reflect their constituency, reduce poverty, and increase the electorate voters’ quality of life, without being dictated by a specific and pre-designed platform.”

Yazdanfar continued, “The Canadians Choice Party’s long term vision for Ontario focuses on two fronts. First, community activities, facilitating access to basic necessities to elevate social cohesion and interaction, reduce policing by supervising and educating youths. Secondly, to create a fair playing field for candidates to connect with their constituents, so voters can vote based on the merit of their candidates, and not based on the name of the party. Constituents call for bi-elections, if their elected MPs do not deliver what they promised or act differently than when they were campaigning for office.“
