“If we go back and look at the prevailing philosophy that ultimately created free societies, we see that the leading thinkers of the day believed that if government should have any role at all in a free society, then the one legitimate role for government was to protect each persons’ rights to life, liberty and property. In Canada today governments at all levels seem to have lost this focus and appear increasingly unable to come to grips with what was once considered to be the clear core role of government in a free society – adequately protecting decent people from violence, aggression, fraud and other criminal behaviour. If we want Canadian society to flourish, then we need government to get back to basics." says Mr. Sporer.
