Dear Friends in Toronto,

First of all, I'd like to sincerely thank the 2,264 people who voted for me, Vijay Sarma, for Mayor of Toronto, despite the supposedly close campaign between Rob Ford and George Smitherman. Since polls of 2000 people in total determined how many of us thought about the elections, it was great to get so many votes for my platform, which is similar in ways to Mayor Ford's. I'd also like to thank Mayor Ford for his many, many promises and guarantees to "Stop The Gravy Train" and finally clean up City Hall. We can use them.

As a journalist and political activist, I ran on an anti-globalization mandate because of how everyone in Toronto is affected. No more G20 "martial law" type situations; stop big corporations from poisoning us as we see in the news; stop government "waste" which is really "theft" by the people who get the money; people spending an hour a week to help City Hall resist corporate lobbyists; and men taking care of more serious issues on behalf of women, children and the elderly. These ideas have traction in our City. We can use it.

Since over 2000 people supported me, plus others who may have chosen to strategically vote, I think I have a clear "official" mandate to continue working on these issues in Toronto along with everyone who wants to. After unofficially starting to campaign in April 2009, I noticed how nearly everyone agreed with what I was saying, but nearly everyone worried about what other people would think. So, nearly all of us agree, we just need to have confidence in ourselves and each others' abilities to handle it. We'll feel better if we do.

To help put things in context, with 5.5 million people in the GTA, Mayor Ford received 383,000 votes, or less than 10% of us voted for him. Online, his Facebook group has just 572 members, his YouTube channel just 200 subscribers and his website "Issues" section just 2 comments. Part 1 of his "Fiscal Plan" on YouTube has 307 views. Part 2 has 234. While many people were excited, many of us didn't get quite as inspired. We can support Mr. Ford, Councillors and Trustees while also recognizing that we're not quite "happy" yet.

Below are 5 simple ideas to help us deal with the "anger" that many people in Toronto feel towards a "system" that everyone knows is corrupt. If we deal with it well, we probably won't be angry. If we don't, we might be even angrier. Politicians often credit for how they "play the game", but after giving 45 people guaranteed 4 year jobs paying $100,000 of our tax-dollars a year during a recession, we should make sure we get what we want. It won't be hard to do in our friendly, tolerant, intelligent and empathetic City. We can do this.

1) Talk To Each Other To Get Our 21st Century Facts Straight

We don't discuss it much, but most of us know a bit about "globalization", or how big corporations and others work together worldwide to get richer while the rest of us worry about our future. Their influence on our health, wealth and relationships can be resisted if we choose to understand and act on it. Fortunately, Toronto has a great market for "truth" the corporate media doesn't discuss much, or stories that are reported but not repeated. We don't need to focus on it much, but we can practically share good info to get the results we want.

2) Figure It Out: If It's Stupid, Laugh At It, If It's Smart, Appreciate It

Great places to learn more include the Toronto Street News paper sold for 12 years by the homeless for their income; the Conspiracy Culture Book and DVD store often praised by our press; the dynamic Press For Truth film and journalism company; the Toronto Truth Seekers weekly outreaches at Dundas Square; plus radio shows and many other places on and offline in our vibrant culture. Most of us know about "organic" and other healthier options, but not why we need them. People have made the explanations easy, so check them out.

3) Men Want Power, Women Want Security, So We Should Handle It

Individuals vary, but this is generally how we work best. Men can give women more personal space when passing on sidewalks (etc.) and generally respect how they may feel threatened on some level by bigger strangers. Women can respond by feeling better, smiling and subtly thanking men, which empowers and validates them. Our busy culture can find time for chivalry that pays big dividends as many small good interactions can lead to having a good day. It works and will put all of us in a much better mood to handle anything we want.

4) Keep Your Family, Friends And Favourites And Fight For Your Future

People sometimes think getting "political" means they have to change who they are and what they like. It's not true. If we spent one hour a week taking care of business, that's all it would take. If we use practical ways to reach many people with simple messages to affect specific changes, then we don't have to bring it up much. If we use good info to help improve each others lives instead of just arguing about what reality is, then we can move on to other subjects. People can only think for themselves if they have the options to think about.

5) Remember: The More Things Change, The More They Stay The Same

History reveals corrupt people are often in charge and ordinary people often resist their influence. Today, things are no different. We also have access to more info about them than ever, including their plans for the future. While we're not encouraged by governments and corporations to look into it, millions of people worldwide have, so we can trust that it's worth looking into. Before supporting any heavily promoted causes, it's a good idea to look into the big picture to make sure they're worthwhile. Once we do, we can get what we want.

Finally, the great City of Toronto has a proud history of respecting a rich diversity of thought, opinion and expression, so we should be open to helping each other figure out our problems, reactions and solutions. While wedge issues can divide us, common threats like 40% of us expected to get cancer from the toxins in our daily environments can unite us and help us work with our newly elected City officials on dealing with them. We can all get inspired by our favourite artists, spiritual leaders and others to help us achieve a better tomorrow today.

I think us being able to do this is What You Want To Believe In.

Thanks again for being open to this campaign for Mayor.

My best wishes to the people of Toronto.

Warm regards,

Vijay

Scribbled on a piece of paper was: "Yes, we are requesting asylum from Hollywood star-whackers."

Note: I had to find an excuse to re-post the Yahoo News mainstream news article below about actor Randy Quaid and his wife getting arrested in Vancouver, it was published late on a Friday (22/Oct/10) like many stories are, likely so it would be ignored or forgotten. They basically say people in Hollywood are trying to kill them and have killed a bunch of other actors, so they want refugee status in Canada. It sounds crazy, but not if you learn about the corrupt history of the music industry from Adorno to Laurel Canyon to today. TheIndustryExposed.com or VigilantCitizen.com are good places to start on this, or get to Googling key terms of interest.

There's also a neat clip of Latoya Jackson in red on a Euro talk show saying "it always happens in threes" (0.58 secs), so she wondered who was next after she heard Michael died, it was actress Farah Fawcett and someone else on the same day. Anyway, have fun on YouTube if you'd like, I'll be the first to admit that it's become a "trend" to make these videos and there's a lot of B.S. where people exaggerate what things mean and take lyrics out of context, but there's a lot of truth out there as well, we just have to use our heads. I even put up posters this summer saying "Can We Save Our Celebrities?" based on this stuff and more control - pEACe, bk

Caveat Emperor:

Lots of people say we have to like or hate someone based on their association with different groups, but that's a mistake. I still like artists who sold out, I just understand the deals they make and adjust my affections accordingly. Even if they've sold out, it doesn't mean they're always selling for them. Individual artists might still make music for fans or loved ones that we can enjoy while fulfilling other obligations. Frankly, all trade unions are corrupt, so you can trust your doctor or lawyer, but you should know the bar and medical associations are corrupt as hell, so you'd better think for yourself about what's said too.

Actor Randy Quaid, wife arrested in Vancouver

Module body

37 minutes ago

By Sunny Dhillon, The Canadian Press

VANCOUVER - Former Oscar nominee Randy Quaid and his wife appeared Friday at an immigration hearing in Vancouver that was highlighted by claims of refugee status, health problems, and a secret plot to kill Hollywood celebrities.

The Quaids were taken into custody in an affluent Vancouver neighbourhood on Thursday.

A California judge had issued warrants for their arrest a few days earlier after the couple failed to show up for a court hearing on felony vandalism charges.

Their first appearance before the Immigration and Refugee Board turned into a bizarre spectacle, complete with outrageous claims, solemn promises, and their eventual release from custody.

Evi Quaid said friends such as actors David Carradine and Heath Ledger have been "murdered" under mysterious circumstances and she and her husband fear they're next on the hit list.

"We feel our lives are in danger," she said, dressed in a black sleeveless shirt and skirt.

"Randy has known eight close friends murdered in odd, strange manners ... We feel that we're next."

Ledger was nominated for an Oscar for his lead role in the movie "Brokeback Mountain." He died in January, 2008 from an accidental overdose.

Carradine was star of the hit 1970s television series "Kung Fu" and also had a movie career before he hanged himself in Thailand last year. He was 72.

At one point, Brian Tsuji, lawyer for the Quaids, held up a statement written by his clients. Scribbled on a piece of paper was: "Yes, we are requesting asylum from Hollywood star-whackers."

Tsuji started the proceedings by saying his clients had made refugee claims.

Randy Quaid, sporting a blue buttoned shirt, grey pants, and black-rimmed glasses, said he loves Canada and had hoped to further his career in the Great White North.

"It's been a very welcoming nation to me. I would not do anything to besmirch my reputation," he told refugee board adjudicator Daphne Shaw-Dyck.

Evi Quaid, who at times had her own counsel trying to silence her, said she and her husband needed to be released for a number of reasons.

First, she said her blood pressure had reached such a level that one nurse told her she might have a stroke.

Next, she said the news of their arrests had led to Randy Quaid's mother being hospitalized.

She went on to say that she was distressed her puppy, who had been travelling with the couple, was being held in a shelter.

Evi Quaid teared up at times during the proceedings.

She also suggested on multiple occasions the U.S. arrest warrant had been recalled. A Santa Barbara County official said bail for the Quaids was actually increased Friday to $500,000 each.

Randy Quaid, 60, was more restrained than his wife in his comments to Shaw-Dyck.

He said it was an honest mistake that the couple left the U.S. the day before the arrest warrants were issued, adding they travelled to British Columbia to pick up a Vancouver critics award he won last year.

Randy Quaid said he met Tsuji earlier this week to discuss the legalities of moving to Canada. He said that meeting shifted course when the Quaids learned of the arrest warrants.

Randy Quaid said there has been a faction persecuting him for 20 years, though he didn't provide further details.

He said the property the vandalism charges stem from is actually owned by he and his wife. Shaw-Dyck then reminded the actor he wasn't at the hearing to defend himself in the U.S. case. He chuckled in response.

He and Evi Quaid also asked for an adjournment to the proceedings so they could adequately prepare their case.

The Quaids were ordered released from custody, but must each post a $10,000 bond on a promise to attend their next hearing on Thursday.

The atmosphere inside the downtown Vancouver building was circus-like.

Photographers and camera operators jockeyed for position within a narrow hallway, outside the room where the proceedings were being held.

When the Quaids walked out and headed for the elevator, they were surrounded. Evi Quaid repeated her claims that Hollywood was killing stars, while Randy Quaid again professed his desire for Canada.

Evi Quaid was also asked by reporters if she suffers from drug or alcohol problems. She said no.

There were initial concerns reporters might be barred from the proceedings, but the Quaids agreed to let media in.

During the hearing, Evi Quaid said multiple times her father was a "Canadian FBI agent." Shaw-Dyck asked her to stop making the claim, since the Federal Bureau of Investigation doesn't have Canadian agents.

Evi Quaid then explained her father was a Canadian who moved to the U.S. and then joined law enforcement.

Vancouver police say they encountered the Quaids after responding to a call for assistance and a check revealed the couple was wanted on outstanding U.S. warrants.

Police would not elaborate on exactly how they came to be in contact with the Quaids. The pair are not wanted for any crimes in Canada, but were taken into custody by the Canada Border Services Agency on Thursday afternoon.

Friday's hearing was mandatory to determine if their detention should continue. Authorities argued they posed a flight risk and should remain in jail.

Quaid and his wife face felony vandalism charges after more than $5,000 in damage was done to a guest house of a Montecito, Calif. home they previously owned.

The Quaids frequently missed court appearances in an earlier case involving charges they defrauded an innkeeper. That case was resolved in April with Evi Quaid pleading no contest to a misdemeanour count. The charges against her husband were dropped.

On Friday, the Quaids promised to appear for their next hearing. Evi Quaid also said she'd be willing to wear an ankle bracelet while staying at a posh Vancouver hotel.

Shaw-Dyck didn't order the anklets, but in addition to the bond, she ordered the couple to confirm their departure with border officials if they plan to leave Canada.

"I believe these terms are sufficiently stringent," she said.

At one point during the hearing, the Quaids held hands. Randy Quaid put his arm around his wife's shoulder while Shaw-Dyck read her decision.

Shaw-Dyck said it was obvious the Quaids were under great stress during their time in custody, which factored into her decision.

Randy Quaid is best-known for supporting roles in films such as "Independence Day,'' "National Lampoon's Vacation'' and "Brokeback Mountain." He was nominated for an Academy Award for his work in "The Last Detail."

He is the older brother of Dennis Quaid.

the things that man used to do, modern man thinks only god could do.

quick reply for now dood:

the things that man used to do, modern man thinks only god could do.

now, that's mind control.

you can try to think that only god can convince your neighbours to fight back.

but you're ignoring history.

anyway, my biggest problem is our balls have been ripped off, but we've got brains.

so, maybe we can all see it.

regardless, just because some people think they can't do anything, i hope i don't have to.

i won't waste my time moping.

it's a big joke anyway, or the bad guys are laughing at how they convinced to be mannequins.

i'm just a human, so i'll act like it.

otherwise this lack of faith in ourselves and each other will be a depressing way to spend our time.

more later, running off to feel my balls.

once we do there's no stopping us, in fact, ain't no guns here, the only thing stopping us is ourselves.

there's only so much this human can do about that.

peace,

bonus: facebook response to a thumbs up

thanks CWTTC, this was a lot of fun and i'm glad you liked it. my number is everywhere because i planned on doing this with everyone in toronto, or having them call me on speakerphone so i could answer all their questions, then they can record and post it online. sigh. so many plans. it's my fault, i should be able to figure out how to get us going by now. instead i got confused and battle-fatigued and slacked, it's hard when your customers love and hate you at the same time, or when you can bake a great cake but nobody feels hungry. but, all is not lost. in this city word could spread in a few hours with all our social networking gizmo's, so i could still win the election easily. i' may also have an open-door policy after the election to take calls and play therapist to 5 million people, or even keep runnin' for a recall unless we get what we want. right now i want to end strong on behalf of everyone looking for hope in this mess, then skeddadle if i don't win, contemplate retirement, or gong undercover, then plan for 2011. one way or another these bastards are going down. then... we have a massive kegger! :P

Miller 'appalled' by Toronto mayoral race

CBC News | October 8th, 2010

"Like many Torontonians I've watched this mayoral race with incredible frustration and distress, because what I've seen is candidates that want to tear this city down," Miller said.

"The last few weeks Torontonians in every neighbourhood ... have been telling me that they feel the same way I do, that they're appalled by the level of debate in this mayoralty and they want someone to lead this city who's going to build a great 21st century city for themselves and their families."

anyway, i hope all headz of voting age see this and figure it out.

toronto needs to get the fluoride out of our water, plus-plus, detox.

otherwise, in a year or two, who the hell knows what we'll be able to say.

i'm easy, i can move however, i just see who's moving on us, so i'm checking it.

meanwhile, check a couple of things that help explain it, you'll see the need to scrap.

we can just get used to the "illuminati" being name-dropped in hip hop, but we shouldn't.

i'm not exactly sure who the old white guys drinking scotch, smoking cigars and shiving us are.

but, i'm fairly sure the doctors and others who tell us fluoride, gmo foods and more are bad are for real.

that's the point in all this, or "f--k rothschild, what about that child?" as a practical way to dealing with it.

the fact that this stuff is not "polite" to say here in communist canada has to change, especially seeing what is.

peace,

Incidentally, the "Rothschilds" say on their own website that their family's been running the world's financial industry for 200 years, so maybe there's something to it after all. Still, what can we do about it and how does it matter to most people?

Or: "F--k Rothschild, what about that child?"

Welcome to Rothschild

Rothschild has been at the centre of the world's financial markets for over 200 years. Today, it provides Investment Banking, Corporate Banking and Private Banking & Trust services to governments, corporations and individuals worldwide.

It is organised globally so that clients can obtain the advice and services they require wherever it suits them. Through 49 offices in 36 countries, from the Americas through Europe to Australia, clients can access Rothschild ideas and expertise. It ranks amongst the world's largest privately-owned banks.

Once we can see the practical value in using the information we learn to make more sense of issues that are relevant to most of us while we're interested, whether it's the H1N1 pandemic, or the 2010 Toronto elections, or anything else that gets our attention all at once and affects us, then we'll be able to make enough sense to effect the changes we want.

Unfortunately, we've been raised to "learn" without being able to "think" so we absorb propaganda faster and go along with rapid changes, like Canadians now feeling lucky to make minimum wage instead of owning a house and thinking of buying a cottage. We have to fight back. The changes to make the changes are finished. Now we're in full resistance mode.

That's part of why I'm running for Mayor when many people in Toronto are scared to talk about this stuff publicly. How much support will I get? Of course, I want to win and get stuff done fast, but even if I don't, I want to make sure we see that we can move on these issues and on the "system" safely, legally and effectively. More of us have to soon. Let's consider how to.

.

Twitter-Friendly Home Page?

.

Note: My apologies, but the feedback I'm getting is a troubling sign of the times. Based on our market for "truth", I know thousands of people in Toronto know what's going on and how serious our situation is, especially with the recession and health risks getting worse. I'm not sure if they want to, but I hope my campaign gives them a chance to speak freely with people and have conversations about anything relevant they look into. We can help everyone else in Toronto deal with what's happening.

However, the other issue I get is the need to "Keep it simple! + Keep it happy!" that many say they want, which is hard to do when it comes to this stuff. Friends even say my writing is getting worse as I try to compensate for shortened attention spans. If I was allowed to, and if people would read it, then I could do some wicked satire about this stuff. But, even though we're electing a Mayor of Toronto for four years, people just want 4 bullet points. This is tricky stuff, but it's possible.

Dear Friends in Toronto,

.

Thanks for your interest in my 2010 campaign to become Mayor of Toronto. Even if I don't win, I hope to share ideas so we can compare them with others and use the ones we like. I think we can work with our City to improve our health, wealth and relationships and the quality of life for all in Toronto.

.

I've been informally running for Mayor since April 2009 and gave speeches and press conferences. But, I don't like self-promotion, so I worked with Toronto Truth Seekers and on my CKLN Radio show, which I then had to give up to run. My goal is to help everyone protect their families, friends and city.

.

After several months, most Torontonians still find the 2010 elections boring. We can just debate the topics in the news like "bike lanes" or "rebates", but many of us don't care, or will forget about them soon since they don't affect us. Independent candidates can say more so we can all ask for more

.

No adults can honestly say we get enough truth from our media, or there's nothing else wrong and the same people who brought us to an age of crisis will get us out of it. I'd rather agree on reality and just argue about what solutions to use, so I hope my campaign helps us catch up quickly so we can.

.

This website contains some of my research as a journalist, artist, activist and philosopher in Toronto tracking changes in our culture. While many of recognize we have serious issues to deal with, many of us also find it's getting harder to discuss them. I hope to help clarify a few things here so we can.

.

We're choosing a Mayor of Toronto for four years at a crucial time in our City's history. Our "social networking" culture encourages us to speak in 140 characters or less, so I'll try to keep it brief, but some issues are too complex for that, so my apologies, but we should make sure they're dealt with.

.

Unfortunately, our communication skills are being destroyed by our new technology. We force each other to say short and simple things; then complain we're bored. To respect each other, we need to value the smart things we each say more than the appropriate things our corporate culture suggests.

.

During an election, we can ask our politicians for specific things in exchange for our votes. We're all aware of health risks, the weak economy and more, but often won't discuss serious issues when our politicians and media don't, or think it's too depressing. Can we feel strong enough to handle them?

.

The bad guys need to keep secrets to fool us. But, they got caught and millions worldwide know it. Now, our attitudes about this will reflect our faith in ourselves and each other. If we have none, we'll just feel hopeless. If we have some, we'll say we can do something about it. That's what's going on.

.

We know most candidates came from a corrupt system and probably won't change it. So, instead of succumbing to "double-think", or knowing about real issues but still taking election debating topics seriously, we can realize we all know more than we're encouraged to share, then share it to feel free.

.

America is electing politicians on real issues. Europe is taking to the streets over the recession and cuts to services. Canadians don't see many examples of this to feel inspired, but we can find them, get informed, refer to our favourite people in history for guidance, and go from there. It's all possible.

.

People have done this forever, so we just have to feel comfortable calmly and consistently sharing good info with our neighbours in verbal and non-verbal ways, then use it to control the people who control where we live and help our political system resist the corrupt influence of corporate lobbyists.

.

While many Canadians feel politically helpless, we should ask what that means or reveals about our culture. Is it natural? Or engineered? How? By whom? Friends and I have worked on how to publicly show our political power in Toronto. We want to believe we have it and can, so a few of us proved it.

.

My apologies for any campaign confusion, but after trying to figure out how to communicate about this stuff in Toronto for a while, I'm getting burned-out about what to say. I'm winning the argument but losing the audience since we're socialized to avoid discussing the issues that affect us the most.

.

Since this is a trend, we can see the small issues as a distraction from big issues, like high taxes and toxins as likely causes of stress and sickness. I hope we can deal with them this election when we're in the mood to discuss politics. We'll feel healthier and happier once we see solutions in place.

.

Our relationships are what we care about the most, but unfortunately they're being weakened by our culture. However, we can repair them by feeling able to handle each others most serious personal and political issues, plus be nice enough to share info with others that can improve our daily lives.

.

Incidentally, if Godzilla attacked the City, and men and women were at a party, someone would have to put their drinks down and fight them. Men have always defended their tribes against attacks, so more men should handle security in Toronto against corporate corruption on behalf of everyone else.

.

Frankly, it would be great if a half-dozen guys in each ward in Toronto just decided control where they live. That's all it would take. They can inform their neighbours, be locally accountable for their actions and help everyone petition their City on a regular basis to get what they want. It's that easy.

.

This just comes down to logic and logistics, or seeing what we can do with what we have. With our modern communications technology, access to our neighbours and elected officials and empathy as a tolerant people in a great City, I'm sure we won't have any trouble taking care of this stuff if we try.

.

Finally, if you want to know why I'm focused on this, it's because while seeing what our corporate culture was doing to everyone, I tried to resist it. I'm not doing this for money, power or sex. I just know what the near future holds like many others, so I know we need to deal with it soon anyway.

.

Sometimes people asked Mongolian warrior Genghis Khan why he slept in a tent outside his castle. He said he did it to avoid getting soft and to stay sharp for battle. I hold nothing against anyone else, I just wanted to make sure that I was in a position to help the people of Toronto handle our business.

.

Thanks for your consideration and please pass it on.

Warm regards,

Vijay

Note: We have bigger issues than those often discussed, like Smitherman's $50 a year tax rebate to renters, Rossi's bike lanes flip-flop, Pantalone's corporate green micro-management, and Ford's flamboyant threats of cutting "waste" or "theft" while nickel and diming voters on the substance. Charities say 40% of us wll get cancer. The Globe and Mail says 60% of us live paycheque to paycheque. A new 27-acre CAMH mental hospital going up. Let's try to address this stuff too.

.

Five Key Platform Issues in Vijay Sarma's 2010 Mayor of Toronto Campaign

.

1. G20 Martial Law at the Summit in June was the most traumatic event in Toronto's history. We saw how our police and others acted before and after it, but we also saw they will follow orders during it just like most of us "do 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. We know they are, it's in the news all the time. The City can test any food, air, water and more things that people are suspicious of like the media often does for news stories, then come up with solutions. We can just refer to the work of many whistleblowers and others who give us more options to improve our health in our environments and make better choices. People can still do whatever they want, but we can do it with more options in a cleaner and safer Toronto if we want. Before we get sicker and broker, let's try this approach.

.

3. If most people find it tough to deal with serious issues of corruption that threaten all of us, then I believe that men should help defend this City on behalf of women, chilren and the elderly. There would 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.

.

4. Government waste is an issue every election, But, a lot of that "waste" is really "theft" since the money doesn't just disappear or get thrown away. Somebody gets it, even though we have City ombudspeople who should catch it. Whie it's tough to untangle, since it's bad for us, I'd start by removing the fluoride from our water supply to save $450 million a year since it's bad for us and Montreal and Vancouver don't use it, cutting down on City ads, cops at construction sites where they don't need protection and more common sense. Then we can just audit everything publicly.

.

5. Finally, I'd like the people of Toronto to spend just one hour a week staying in touch with their City elected officials and employees to help them resist the influence of corporate lobbyists. The good people on the inside will appreciate it. All the City has to do is ensure that communication is made easy and normal and that different people and groups from different wards can keep in touch with who they elect. City politicians aren't part of any parties, they're controlled by the people who elect them, if they continue to control them after the election. I hope we decide to this election.

.

Feel free to run these ideas by current candidates so they can get done no matter who wins.

With Mayor Miller's "strong mayor" office powers, all of the above is possible right now.

More shortly, knowledge is power and we can find answers to everything.

Thanks for your time and consideration, please pass it on.

Warm regards,

Vijay

VIJAY SARMA

Where Vijay Sarma stands on the big issues facing Toronto:

.

1. Transit City is an important and controversial part of Toronto. What are your thoughts on the proposed plan?

"I think that large infrastructure problems are not something we need right now when we already have problems with existing transit lines. We should fix those first, otherwise taking on a new project might just weaken our ability to facilitate the current TTC projects."

.

2. Bike lanes have become a topic in the last few weeks. Do you plan on implementing them on Jarvis, University and the other locations?

"Definitely for it, but it has to be done with the participation of the community where those bike lanes are going to be. If people in the community want bike lanes, great. If they don't, then they shouldn't have them and so it would take community involvement to approve a bike lane."

.

3. How do you feel about the idea of charging road tolls?

"I'm against road tolls. With our budgets right now, and our tax rates sky rocketing over the last couple years, I think the last thing we need is toll roads slowing down the pace of the business in this city and make life more inconvenient for the people of Toronto."

.

4. How do you feel about the crime level in Toronto? How do you plan on addressing it?

"If there is persistent corruption or crime that is something our government and media, should deal with. Men should deal with it on behalf of women and children just how men have defended their culture for thousands of years before this."

.

5. How do you plan on cleaning up the city?

"First of all the pollution in the environment on a daily basis is something I want to deal with. The CBC had a story called The Disappearing Male, talking about how the male sperm count is going down. So I think there are things that affect our daily lives in terms of pollution that we have to deal with as well. Garbage pickup I would double to triple a week, as oppose to once a week to make it more convenient for businesses to operate in this city."

.

6. How do you plan on bringing "new life" to the city? (ex: people, business, events, parades etc.)

"I think we should have a strong cultural funding but I think that it should be community based. So the communities themselves is where the artists develop from, should chose whom they wish to find as opposed to the centralized process we currently have now where the city, provincial, or even the federal government does it. I'd like to see the people do it and chose which artists they would like their tax dollars to support."

.

7. How important is accountability while you are in office and how do you plan on monitoring this?

"I'd like the citizens of Toronto to communicate with the city employees, city bureaucracies and our elected officials for one hour a week to make that conversation continue. We're not part of one political party so we don't take any direction directly from them. We only take direction from the people or from the people who talk to us which are often corporate lobbies, special interest groups and so on. I'd like to make sure that we have a transparent system and let the people work for an hour a week to help maintain that."

.

8. What are your plans for the city's budget including taxes?

"I'd like to borrow from the Bank of Canada which any municipal, provincial, or federal government can do if the right people are in charge of each of the governments. I plan to cut taxes. No more extra taxes, eco fees, property taxes. We pay approx 60% of our income in total taxes and I think that the government has enough money. They're just not using it as well as they should."

.

9. What "big idea" do you have that will be part of your platform?

"I think that millions of people online are looking for the truth and I think that the media does a great job of covering issues rarely once in a while. I think that it would be a great idea if we were open to the work of whistle blowers, scientists, doctors, and others who questioned the main stream orthodox issues like fluoride and vaccines which are two keys for me. And so I'd like to see those re-visited by our city. So if we have the campaign like the H1N1 campaign, where we promote the vaccine, we also promote the risk of the vaccine and where you can get legal vaccines and exemption forms. It's part of the 1997 Immunization of School People's Act."

People

.

Sometimes I ask people who they admire since I think it can help us live in a world worth admiring. Sometimes I get a sports star or celebrity. Sometimes others. Sometimes I get historical figures. Sometimes no answer. Today, many people think there aren't people worth admiring, at least not the way we used to. That's too bad. But, it's not too late to find some. Even in Toronto.

Below are people I admire in Toronto, so hopefully other people can at least appreciate their work. This also gives voters an idea of how my opinions were formed and why they might be different from other candidates. No two people agree on everything all the time, so I don't agree with everything they say, but I still admire what they say and do and I hope that you do too.

Warm regards,

Vijay

I hope people support me, because if nobody supports me, nobody else will try to run for office by being honest.

.

Note: From the Hip Hop Canada message boards about me being good looking. (?)

http://www.hiphopcanada.com/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=30&t=9498832

.

actually, it's a coffee time, but i feel ya, thanks, i'm pretty good looking. then i get slack and lose my jawline. then i'm okay looking. then i get pissed and stop eating. then i look good again, and so on. girlfriends are fattening too, but i'm ridin' for every girl in this city until more guys do, so i'm trying to make sure i look good for them, but not so good that i get in trouble.

i call it going "from clooney to pitt", or a solid mannequin build to male model, which is usually what i try to do. however, every time i get in great shape i can't resist girls gettin' at me, or gettin' at girls. so, i'm just at a "soft-clooney" now to stay out of trouble. if i did more push-ups and sit-ups i could get to "clooney" and then aim for "pitt", which i never hit, but i'm good.

.

what's funny is i say a lot of stuff too, so i hope that counts as well. i know i'm in a culture that complains about how we act a lot, so when i act different, i hope to show people they can make their own lane. frankly, i don't want to have to do this, but i don't want to just entertain people and let us get played for fools by the "FEAR!" of Mayor SmitherFord. either one. it's sad.

more in a minit, but keep in mind that i don't feel bad for me, at least not often. i feel bad for everyone having trouble coming up with hope or ideas during a valuable election season when we could ask our politicians for what we want. we know we're probably screwed, first by high prices this winter, then by rising cancer rates, more lost jobs and so on. so what do we do?

.

anyway, if it's up to me, this is what i do as well as i can. it's hard because people can just say i'm doing it "wrong" based on who and how confident they are, plus have trouble co-signing me because they're scared of what others will think. but, i trust the people of toronto to look at all their options and see who's telling the truth. if that's what they want, i'm in and we win.

i also hope people support me because i know how we work. if nobody supports me, then nobody else will try to run for office by being honest, handling our biggest issues and giving people more political power, or even do things less formally like i was doing during the g20 martial law. people will think "that's stupid!" and then complain they have to choose between two liars.

.

i really think we want to believe we can do better than that for our own sanity.

that's why i named my campaign website what you want to believe in dot com.

.

peace,

bk

.

p.s. incidentally, i keep having convos with hip hop heads and the same thing frustrates us. we all know hip hop has a lot of power to motivate us, so it can be used for good or bad. if we let corporations define what "keeping it real" is, then we'll turn into liars like rick ross and be told to accept it. if we keep it real, then songs like this can help. it's on repeat. and i'm on it.

2010 Toronto Mayor Hopeful Vijay Sarma Speaks at the Scarborough Debates



http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hqXDUlQPpKM

.

My name is Vijay Sarma and I'm running for Mayor of Toronto. The election is on October 25th, 2010. My number is 647-857-5755 and my email address is vijay.sarma@gmail.com. Please contact me to discuss anything you'd like, I'm a good peacemaker and solve lots of problems.

After looking into real issues as a journalist, artist, activist and philosopher for years, I want to do something about them. Even if I don't win, I can still get enough votes to show the "system" that we want serious threats to our health, wealth and relationships dealt with by our politicians.

We all know big corporations are poisoning us, aren't stopping, and aren't being stopped. It's in the news. Why can't the City test stuff, come up with solutions to protect us and try to stop it at the source? Why not share the best info instead of suppressing it as Big Pharma often does?

Before giving any candidate a guaranteed 4 year job paying $100,000 a year during a recession, let's see if we can get something out of it. I've been speaking with PhD's and others for years on important issues and can tell truth from lies. This will come in handy if I am Mayor of Toronto.

The best time for people to take political power back is during elections. Most people who aren't interested in politics will be open to learning more during this brief period. Please pass on the info and check the website for how you can help, we'll be a lot happier if we figure things out.

One thing that affects every aspect of our lives is "fear" engineered by our culture. (See: "Saw 3D", etc.) Curiousity beats fear, or learning more about the world to understand it. Knowledge is power, so instead of just escaping, you can feel like you belong and are in control of your life.

Finally, this is about our faith in ourselves and other people, or what I think we want to believe in. If we think we can't do or get anything, we probably won't. If we think we can, figure out how and do it, then we probably can. Our political system is in place. We can control it this election.

Warm regards,

Vijay
