Why I left a landowner group but not the Landowner Movement.
Unfortunately, a landowner group like any other organization could be; is hoodwinked into believing certain political identities are the one and only to be followed.
The men and women within the landowner movement are everyday people, my neighbours, friends and folks from all walks of life.
Our area of Renfrew county has become and area of stagnation for industry and growth. Our children and citizens must move elsewhere to find meaningful work.
What really is going on is protectionism for certain individuals or residents of the region. After many folks who reach a point of financial despair, properties and possessions can be bought up cheaply and in the case of a business, the competition disappears.
I am relatively new to the county, but one does not have to be a rocket scientist to see and know what is going on. How many more farms and properties are going to fall into a state of disrepair and then close? Many conversations with residents reveal the evident and the associated bitterness.
Mean while the voters are hiding behind social issues such as abortion and “do not split the vote” to direct their voting habits. Don't get me wrong the social issues are important. Stand with proper candidates who are and will stand up for them and our region. For the time being the parties, in which are and have been represented; provide Band-Aid solutions. Concrete, long lasting solutions have not transpired to remedy the issues. These parties are part of the problem.
Individual Freedom, Personal Responsibility, Fairness and Respect; these principles are the backbone of the Landowner Movement, I am going to hold on to.
