FRONT OF YONGE TOWNSHIP

The Front of Yonge Township is our local municipality.
It is our testing ground. It is our learning facility.

We can try things here — and emphasize what works; while discarding what doesn’t.

The objective is to set an example for other communities.

Working together — and learning from each other — is how we all win this Class War that the 1% has started against us.

We all share the same goals. That is the common ground we all stand together on.

Bring your neighbors together in your community.
And have the complete faith that they will get every single issue right from there.

The power of democracy belongs to you.

We are bringing the power of democracy to our own municipality — to our neighbors.
And we are using it as both an example and a learning experience of putting the power of democracy into play — right at the local level of governance.

Democracy is a community game … and it is a team game.

We will keep you posted on all of it.
And the 1% has no authority.
They are not invited.

FRONT OF YONGE TOWNSHIP

We live in the Front of Yonge Township in Eastern Ontario Canada.
It’s a small rural community of 2,595 people.

We have a Town Council consisting of a mayor and four at-large councillors.
Each of those positions is part-time.
Elections are every 4-years. The next one is in October 2026.

In the last two elections, there really weren’t any elections because they were all acclaimed — nobody ran against them.

Those are the basics of Front of Yonge Township.

BRINGING DEMOCRACY TO FRONT OF YONGE TOWNSHIP

We have talked with many of our neighbors.
The vast majority of them believe that our overall system of governance is incompetent, corrupt and not functioning for us.
The level of trust in not only the government, but in the institutions, the media and the corporations is at rock bottom low levels.

That is a consensus!!! A majority consensus.

We also believe that if we put all the power into the hands of the people — the people will get everything right from there.

So, we are taking a few steps to pick up the power of democracy right here in our community:

1. This website is the platform for a new tool that embraces the power of democracy directly into a local community. We have chosen to adopt it.
2. We now have to get our local Town Council to formally accept it. On December 15th, we will be delivering a deputation to our Town Council asking them to adopt it.
3. We do not expect it to be adopted. We are prepared to take the next steps accordingly.
4. We are putting together a full slate of local candidates to compete in the next election. One mayor, four councillors. People chosen among ourselves.
5. We have only one platform issue: To put all the power into the hands of the people — our neighbors. We have the full faith that our neighbors will make the right decision on every single other issue. Because together is how democracy builds our community.
6. We will campaign. As we knock on the doors of our neighbors we will be encouraging them to vote for our full slate of candidates PLUS we will encourage them to register on the OurTownHall.Org platform. And we will simply start adding all our voices to it.

As events unfold, we will keep you updated on our progress.
We will try things and share the results so that others can learn from both our successes and our failures.

We can all learn together and from each other.
That is the power of democracy.

And we want democracy to take hold in every community around us.

Power to the People!
