As someone who had recently planned to form his own Ontario political party to field candidates in the June 2 Ontario election \u2013now under way – the reasons for his decision to entirely withdraw from the political arena are chilling and warrant everyone\u2019s attention.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve come to the conclusion that there is no political solution to what ails society,\u201d Hillier lamented. \u201cThe only way back to a free country is if we re-engage with the public and help shape public opinion \u2013 help people understand the value of freedom.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

Hillier\u2019s advice is right on the money. As Ontarians head into the 2022 election, there is a level of hostility towards freedom greater than at any other time in the nation’s history.<\/strong> Electorally, this does not bode well for any candidates or political parties calling for freedom, but at the same time it demonstrates the need to \u201cshape public opinion \u2013 help people understand the value of freedom.\u201d<\/p>\n

It seems self-evident that before winning freedom through the ballot box, it must first exist in the hearts and minds of voters themselves.<\/strong> Less evident is the price that must be paid to make this happen. It requires those who love freedom – more than they fear losing elections – to use electoral opportunities to campaign for freedom even against the odds.<\/p>\n

As things look right now, it may be a long time indeed before conditions in Ontario are Just Right to result in freedom through the ballot box, but it\u2019s always the right time to put freedom \u2018on\u2019 the ballot.<\/p>\n
