"Get Aware, Get Active, Get Paid!" (The Active Citizen Tax Levy) -A website /physical space where after law-language experts have translated complex policy jargon into something the average citizen can understand, and how it directly affects them, people can weigh in on public policy decision, local program development, and eventually play a role in their own community development. -The more you get involved, the more taxes you save. -This would eventually save money on expensive standardized programs that only work in communities that match the development model, so more relevant decisions are made by more people who care about what is directly happening with each program. -There would have to be some regulation, and a code of ethics etc., but could be possible with right people behind it. (and the right lawyers doing our translations!) -PROBLEMS: Inclusion of those who have limited time/access to resources, how could everyone have an equal chance to benefit from this program?

I asked my school to host a TEDx in 2010, they told me if i wanted it here this badly to do it myself. Well thank you Wilfrid Laurier for the apathetic but inevitably synergistic words of encouragement. Those words from the world of academia has been the go ahead stamp of approval to go ahead and achieve anything I wish to set my mind to. Since that day the wheels have been turning and I have been connecting and engaging others and making my passion heard, NEVER BE AFRAID!! My personal passion is to entertain, engage, encourage and connect. And I hope I can play a role in helping other realize their fullest of potentials for years to come, we have a lot of work to do folks.. time to "Spiral Out..Keep Going"
