Why are we given the news we get? Does it affect how we think we can deal with it? Why is Canadian Omar Khadr in Gitmo limbo? Why was there little about the elections in Saturday's Toronto Star? Why does Toronto use fluoride when it's bad for our brains? Why were 6000 zombies wandering around over the weekend? Why are there huge demonstrations in France? Why is our money system based on fraud? Why is there a huge online audience for alternative news? How do we get more offline action and results?

The Five Platform Issues in Vijay Sarma's 2010 Mayor of Toronto Campaign
.
1. Stop G20 Martial Law From Happening Again
G20 Martial Law at the Summit in June was the most traumatic event in Toronto's history. We saw how our police didn't act like that before and after it, but we also saw they'll follow orders just like most of us doing our jobs. We're all in the same boat in the same City, so let's make sure this never happens again by exposing the truth about what the Federal and G20 "world government" leaders forced on our City. If we don't, it could happen again. Let's make sure it doesn't. This is why the big picture is more important than the small issues we're often told of.
.
2. Stop Big Corporations From Poisoning Us
Stop big corporations from poisoning us. We know they are, it's in the news all the time. The City can test food, air, water and more things that people are suspicious of like the media often does for stories, then come up with solutions that create jobs. We can refer to the work of many whistleblowers and others who give us options to improve our health in our environments and make better choices. People can do whatever they want, but we can all do it with more options in a cleaner and safer Toronto. Before we get any sicker and broker, let's try this approach.
.
3. Stop Government Waste... or is it... Theft?
Government waste is an issue every election, But, a lot of that "waste" is really "theft" since the money doesn't disappear or get thrown away, somebody gets it, even though we have City ombudspeople who should catch it. I'd empower them and start by removing the fluoride added to our water supply to save us $450 million stolen tax-dollars a year, it's also bad for us and Montreal and Vancouver don't use it. I'd cut back on City ads, cops at construction sites where they don't need protection and more common sense. Then we can audit everything publicly.
.
4. Spend One Hour A Week To Help Control City Hall
I'd like the people of Toronto to spend just one hour a week in touch with their City elected officials and employees to help resist the influence of corporate lobbyists and others, the good people on the inside will appreciate it. The City has to ensure that communication is made easy and normal and that different people and groups from different wards can keep in touch with whoever they elect. City politicians aren't part of any parties, they can be controlled by the people who elect them, if they continue to control them after the election. I hope we decide to this election.
.
5. Toronto Men Should Defend Women, Children and Elderly
If many people find it tough to deal with serious issues of corruption that threaten all of us, I believe more men should help defend this City on behalf of women, chilren and the elderly. There will be no official policy on this, just encouragement from the top. Toronto tough guys shouldn't be afraid to look at what millions of nerds do, including the truth about how power works that's been re-discovered by more and more people for decades, then act on it. There's a reason "the rich get richer and the poor get poorer", we just have to see if it's good or bad and what we can do about it.
.
Feel free to run these ideas by all candidates so our favourites can get done no matter who wins.
With Mayor Miller's "strong mayor" office powers, all of the above is possible right now.
Knowledge is power, so if we use it we can find all the solutions we need.
Thanks for your time and consideration, please pass it on.
