I think you’d Like Me when I’m ANGRY! Vote BEN 2010! lord of Brantford!

As a mem­ber of both the Kanienke­haka Nation and the greater com­mu­nity at whole, my elec­toral options have been lim­ited, I have never became a mem­ber or pledged my alle­giance to any other nation but the kankienke’haka né Onkwehonwe:né’ha. This vital piece of infor­ma­tion excludes me from par­tic­i­pat­ing in the munic­i­pal elec­tion (Munic­i­pal Elec­tions Act, 1996; Qual­i­fi­ca­tions of elec­tors), also it excludes the same while voting.

I am not Cana­dian, and to end any assump­tions I have cre­ated a per­sonal dec­la­ra­tion of sov­er­eignty, expa­tri­a­tion and dis­il­lu­sion of all pre­vi­ous polit­i­cal and national alle­giances. This dec­la­ra­tion is pro­duced from the base of all inter­na­tional law. We are divine and cre­ators of the worlds we live in, the laws you live by or rather the code of ethics and the honor dis­played is cru­cial to learn­ing to live by “The Right of Self Deter­mi­na­tion” while find­ing bal­ance in all aspects of life.

As a mem­ber of a so-called Tribal Nation (Kanienka’haka/Mohawk), one with no pos­si­ble way to have proper rep­re­sen­ta­tion through the bal­let with out tak­ing on the sta­tus of a cana­dian, the roles and respon­si­bil­i­ties of such a citizen.

This process does become an inter­na­tional vio­la­tion of the covenant chain “two row wampum” an Inter­na­tional Con­tract, that sep­a­rates the nations and polit­i­cal bod­ies from inter­fer­ing with national and polit­i­cal “sov­er­eign” mat­ters. One that raises many ques­tion of juris­dic­tion and tax­a­tion, land dis­putes, issues that are not for the faint of heart, how­ever liv­ing in two worlds at times you get a glimpse of shared pros­per­ity and understanding.

This is one, but a crit­i­cal fac­tor in my cam­paign and suc­cess, I have a solid under­stand­ing of the needs of the city, and I plan on get­ting to know as many faces and share as many sto­ries and ideas in the next few month, Even with the qual­i­fi­ca­tion issue.

I will be actively cam­paign­ing to share my vision and gain sup­port of my national neigh­bors, friends and family.

Liv­ing Together, Plan­ning Together, Work­ing Together
