About This Site

Feel free to e-mail me at kyle@noonespecial.ca.

The title of this site really says it all. I am just a guy. I have don't have any affiliations with any political party or lobby group at all. I paid for this Web site out of my own pocket. I wrote the script for the video based on my own research and opinions. As you can clearly see, I am no actor. I really am no one special.

When I heard about the referendum I was thrilled. I have been a proponent of proportional representation since I first read about it in high school. Finally we were going to get an election system that is actually suited to our society and political climate. What shocked me, however, was that most of the articles I read about the referendum were about the lack of coverage the referendum was getting in the media. One pundit went so far as saying they doubted MMP would win the referendum because people wouldn't know enough about MMP and would opt for the status quo. Weeks passed and still the referendum was getting relatively little coverage. When speaking to people about the referendum, it became quite clear little was known about the choices we were being given.

The media has been dominated by the funding for religious schools issue, yet our election system is a much more important issue. Considering the last referendum we've had in Ontario was about Prohibition, that really goes to show how important this referendum is.

I made this site and the video in an attempt to help spread the word. This is our chance to make a lasting positive change for Ontario. This is our chance to make a real difference and we may not get another one for many years.

I urge you to watch the video and read about all the issues.

On the MMP page, I describe in plain language how the new system would work and how it will benefit Ontario.

On the FPTP page, I highlight the problems we have been having with our current system.

On the links page, I provide some other Web sites for further reading. What I have provided on this site is an overview along with some background information. Some of them are really great and can help you make your decision.

Please take some time to understand the issue. Spending ten or fifteen minutes today can help ensure we live in the Ontario we want to live in.

I would like to thank Bubba, Bozena, and my mom for their help in making the video and this Web site. Bubba was the very patient videographer who didn't roll his eyes much while I was hacking up a lung (I was sick.) Bozena took some great still photographs and helped me with a few last minute problems with images on the Web site. My mom gave me some encouragement (see the credits of the video.)
