Fred Twilley

Long before it became a popular slogan Fred reduced, reused, restored and recycled with a passion that often frustrated family, friends, and coworkers. His education and his experience with disaster services in the Red Cross, has given Fred an invaluable perspective of the environment and our economy and their vulnerability. Fred found in the Green Party the vitally needed policies to prepare our country to meet the inevitable challenges.

Fred Twilley was the Nickel Belt candidate in the October 2007 Ontario provincial election and in the October 2008 federal election. He also campaigned in the Guelph by-election.

Through his experiences in a reconstituted family and in restorative justice, Fred has learned that working cooperatively with mutual respect is critical in resolving problems. Fred believes that the hostile destructive culture in politics has to change. Until politicians show more respect for each other and decide that they must work together to determine what is right and forget about who is right, they cannot expect the public to respect them. Nobody has a monopoly on good ideas. Our collective intelligence is far greater than that of any single individual or small group of individuals.
