"THE MOST DANGEROUS MAN TO ANY GOVERNMENT IS THE MAN WHO CAN THINK THINGS OUT FOR HIMSELF. ALMOST INEVITABLY HE COMES TO THE CONCLUSION THAT THE GOVERNMENT HE LIVES UNDER IS DISHONEST, INSANE AND INTOLERABLE"
How much more then is that true today in the era of mass communication which shapes the opinions of the public down to their most fundamental values? Party of Citizens was registered in 1995. Its full registered name is "Party of citizens who have decided to think for themselves and be their own politicians". POC ran candidates in BC Election 2001.
But "welfare" administrations do. If this trans-Canada gestapo network continues, it will destroy the social-political foundation of Canada. Charter S.7 fundamental justice is redefined when "fundamental justice" means the innocent poor can legally be put to death. And what does this say for Charter S.15, equality rights and S.36 essential services?
The nightmare is spelled out in petitions by POC to the UN High Commission for Human Rights:

POC's platform alternative to this nightmare is expansion of volunteerism to assure that society gets back a greater contribution to GNP in welfare-volunteer labour than it pays out in welfare benefits:

POC campaigns are SELF-INITIATED. Individual members are encouraged to think for themselves and launch their own campaigns. We don't tow the party line: we create it daily.
Some POC slogans:
"POC is about good citizenship"
"POC is about thinking for yourself"
"POC is about a Canada 'founded upon principles that recognize the supremacy of God'" (words in single quotes are from the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms).
"POC is about the 'inherent dignity and worth of the human person'" (words in single quotes are from the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, UDHR and the UN's Convention Against Torture, CAT).
Is POC 'libertarian'? No. Libertarianism is a neo-fascist ideology which places dignity and worth on a human life only to the extent that it serves the libertarian-defined market place.
Is POC 'anarchist'. No. Anarchism started out as a communalist-equalitarian social movement which became associated with chaos and violence for political objectives. Today anarchists are correctly regarded as political nut cases. POC is not anarchist.
Libertarians and Anarchists tow their party lines like other party members. POCsters make and tow their own lines, individually or in concert with those who choose to be of like mind. POCsters are freer than libertarians or anarchists will ever be.
