I wish you all the best in your campaign and think you will make a great MP. I am from Saskatchewan so can’t vote for you but would if I could. However, we support the Conservative Party and also donate to True North 👍 My husband and I will miss you on True North, we watched your show every day and very much enjoyed your honest, fair and rationale commentary. You are an excellent interviewer and I enjoyed your guests as well. I enjoyed The Freedom Convoy and plan to read your book on Pierre Poilievre. All I can say is you are a very busy guy! All the best 😊🇨🇦

I’m of the opinion The West as a whole needs a brand new system — made in the 21st century for the 21st century using the following themes:

- simplicity

- standardization (silly humanity tries to accomplish the same goals a million different ways — pick the best and use it until a better option comes down the pipe)

- economies of scale

- free and open data for circular accountability

- basic income (AI and technology is going to create massive gains in economic output so can easily afford this)

I believe a federal - municipal system would be best. Mayors can be elected by their local constituents; then the mayors can elect a leader/dictator who has a great deal of power to push forward their agenda, with a veto mechanism to prevent them going off the rails (mayors have the vote for the veto, but make it high like 75% for example so you need a strong consensus to veto the leader).

Create a constitution made in the 21st century for the 21st century.

Create a system so good that everyone wants in as the benefits will be so immense that only fools will stay out (a better quality of life and economic outcomes). Could likely start this system in Canada and go after the low hanging fruit that is The Commonwealth.

The arc of humanity and civilization is unification — I believe we are seeing the late stages of nationalism (which is fragmentation and wars). I believe we must live through this chaotic WW3 era before my grand plan door opens.

Andrew, I’m a westerner now and will miss your journalism as part of TN. Good luck in your campaign. You will bring, what I believe is a strong conservative voice to Canadian politics. Pierre is lucky to have you.

Congratulations Andrew and my sincere best wishes for your electoral success. Your seat in the Commons will be a reluctantly accepted but meaningful tradeoff to your absence from media. Good luck!
