I have been a supporter of the Liberal Party of Canada since the tenure of Pierre Trudeau, and was inspired to become involved in politics by his vision of Canada as a just society. Throughout my years of voluntary service to the party, from my local riding association to the National Executive, I have been motivated by a desire to see the party live up to its potential as a genuinely democratic vehicle for broad public participation in government.

If we are to achieve this, I believe we must demonstrate to Canadians that through membership in the Liberal Party, we can all exercise true responsibility over the course of the national agenda, and share in the authorship of the social contract that binds us together and defines us as a nation. Liberal Party membership should be the proof that democracy can be more than just a manner of choosing governments; it can be a manner of governing ourselves.

Some of the projects I hope will help fulfill this are below.

	My Articles in the National Press My political articles in the national press are part of my efforts to engage the broader public, to make a contribution to the national conversation, and to occasionally reach past the power of the few to appeal to the wisdom of the many.
	Open letters to Liberals From time to time, I circulate open letters to Liberals on issues affecting the national interest.
	My Speech to the UK Liberal Democrat Conference The ideals of liberalism transcends national boundaries and bind together a vast and noble fraternity of conviction. One of my greatest pleasures in politics is working with Liberals in other countries to further our shared creed.
	To collaborate in any of my projects to advance the cause of liberal democracy, please drop me a note through my Volunteers page.
