Dear Elector,

  If you want someone who will represent whatever you believe and never say it's not quite as possible as your government dictates… Then elect an Independent.

  If you want someone always willing to fight for you, at any time, for as long as and wherever you want… Then elect an Independent.

  If you want someone who will never obey a party leader, doesn't care about cheap politics, and can stand next to you as you move on… Then elect an Independent.

  If you want someone who is content to get your vote just to protect your interests and whom you can recall if the job isn’t done… Then elect an Independent.

  If you want someone who never criticizes what you do, doesn't discriminate if you are a liberal or conservative thinker, young or mature, who listens to every worthy word you say, and defends your rights unconditionally, persistently, consistently... Then elect an Independent.

  BUT, on the other hand, if you want someone who will never be there when your rights are violated, ignores you because of his/her party’s policies, leaves a mess behind all over the community, does what the party leader says, and only collects a salary and fat pension, and behaves as if your entire existence is solely to ensure the prosperity of the party’s ideology and prosperity... Then elect a candidate from the mainstream parties!

  Voting for candidates from the mainstream Parties in this By-Election makes no difference whatsoever in the balance of power in the Parliament for the next 3-4 years. The only MP that can bring positive changes to this community is an Independent MP. Remember, you have every right to vote as you see fit, and you have every right to have confidence in your judgment and vote independently.

What does the above numbers indicate?
  Elected Conservatives, who formed the majority government after the 2011 General Election, were voted in by only 18% of eligible voters. And if 100% of MP's agree on any given bill, this just represents 30% of eligible voters in Canada.

  Beware of the influence of interest groups.

  Voters often latch onto a political party for a single issue, and a political party often excludes anyone else's interests by going hell-bent on some issue. Special status gets assigned to all groups, races, religions, ages, and is based on anything but need; and need is universal. We ought to make sure "everyone" is included. Then we'll be truly equal, colour blind and compassionate and there won't be a need for special status or points. There is another alternative: elect an Independent Candidate, one who is part of the suffering population and is neither a politician nor a member of the aristocratic oligarchy. And let the rest of the nation know that the people of Toronto-Danforth will no longer accept, nor put-up with the status-quo.

  This time around you have a choice to send a concerned citizen who is not a politician. Bahman doesn’t answer to party leaders, non-delegated industrialists, union bosses, or special groups. He only answers to his electorate. Besides, he can’t possibly do more damage than what has already been done, CAN HE?

Dear Non-Voter!   I do sympathize with you when you don’t want to bother to vote.

  I understand that you are among those in the majority who choose not to vote for one or more of the following reasons:
