[em]Mark Nickel, a blue collar man and a right wing thinker, getting through each day as it comes on the West Coast, Canada’s LA LA Land, was born in Kamloops, B.C. On his mother's side, his family’s Canadian history goes back 250 years. His father was born in the Ukraine under Joseph Stalin's murderous purges. His family fought at Vimy Ridge, The Battle of the Atlantic and from Juno to the Rhine. Having worked in the sawmills of British Columbia at age 17, and after 35 years seeing his livelihood destroyed by the Soft Wood lumber dispute, Mark witnessed the collapse of the entire Forestry Industry as every political party in Canada proved incapable of defending its vital interests. So his passion for political empowerment started, out of necessity. The most important lesson he learned is that most political parties are actively preventing fresh blood from rejuvenating the system. Being a British Columbian has exposed him to the extremism of Left wing politics and left him with the firm belief that the political Right has become stale and ineffective because too many of the old Guard Conservatives actively stifle new ideas and strategies.
