The Citizen, 2019-09-12, Page 18PAGE 18. THE CITIZEN, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 12, 2019. The Huron-Bruce NDP held its nomination meeting at the MacKay Centre in Goderich, acclaiming farmer and environmental activist, Tony McQuail, candidate for the coming federal election. McQuail first ran for the NDP in 1980 and has been active in the Huron Federation of Agriculture, Huron National Farmers Union and was a founding member of the Ecological Farmers Association of Ontario. He served three terms as an elected school board trustee and the executive assistant to the Hon. Elmer Buchanan, Minister of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs. McQuail focused on three Rs – Representation, Regeneration and Redistribution – in his nomination speech to a lively and receptive crowd. Regarding “representation’ he said “Women and working Canadians got the vote a hundred years ago – now it is time everyone’s vote counted toward representation in every election. Our current system leaves over half the voters casting ballots with no-one to represent them. We won’t have consistent policy on climate change, healthcare, education, housing – you name it - ’til the decisions are being made by a majority of MPs who represent a majority of Canadians. “We need to get creative to build a regenerative society and economy that not only sustains but increases ecological and social health. I know we can do it in agriculture – and I believe with applied ingenuity we can do it across society. “Our planet can no longer afford economic growth which results in inequitable distribution of our wealth. We need to start sharing the pie fairly and making money in a way that doesn’t destroy the resources on which we depend - by designing a redistributive economy that shares the wealth and provides services to all. Money is like manure – it does the most good when you spread it around.” McQuail said he is proud of the transformative proposals in the NDP’s “New Deal for People’.
