Oakville Libertarian candidate David Clement offering 'different kind of perspective'

Oakville Beaver

David Clement, the Oakville Libertarian candidate in the upcoming June 12 provincial election, is disenchanted by what has become of Ontario's political system.

The 24-year-old Oakville native says the province's economic and social problems stem from the government simply standing in the way.

"Jobs, health care, education and energy are far too important to be left solely in the hands of the government," said the White Oaks Secondary School graduate, who works as a research assistant to the Canadian Research Chair in International Human Rights.

He said he's running to offer residents a different kind of perspective on what the effective role of government can be.

"In my opinion, if you look at all three big political parties, all three of them are far too involved in the lives of Ontario residents and so I'm looking to limit that involvement and remove government from the areas and aspects of life where it's not necessarily needed," said Clement, who holds both an Honours Bachelor of Arts in political science and a Masters Degree in political science from Wilfrid Laurier University.

Citing the gas plant cancellations in Oakville and Mississauga, as an example, he said energy production and the decisions on where plants are located shouldn't be made "arbitrarily" by politicians.

"That's something that should be decided by consumer wants and decided by the market, so to say," he said, adding the Libertarian platform is to change the relationship between government and energy providers.

Clement said he believes Oakville residents were unhappy because the location was a poor choice and the reversal of that decision cost taxpayers more than $1 billion.

He said energy providers should be left to operate like any other business where consumer wants and needs are taken into consideration.

Libertarian Candidates Hit Record in Virginia

COMMONWEALTH, VA-- You might be hearing about the Libertarian Party more than ever here in the Commonwealth. That's because a record number of of Libertarian candidates are aiming for the 2014 elections.

So far, nine are trying to get to the House of Representatives in multiple districts. Robert Sarvis, who ran for governor last year, will try for Mark Warner's seat. He received around 6.5% of the vote last year, the highest for a third party candidate since 1970. We spoke with Will Hammer, a Staunton resident, who is running for Goodlatte's seat in November. He told us why he thinks his party is catching on the in state.

"I think the people are just getting fed up with the two-party system, people are looking for alternatives, and don't feel like they fit into the cookie-cutter parties."

You can find more information on Hammer at his website, http://www.wmhammer.com.
