	Mark Scharfe is running as a candidate in Osgoode Ward as he feels the current city council is making decisions which do NOT reflect the direction of our community.

 
The Scharfe family has farmed on the same land since 1911.

Mr. Scharfe has worked for our municipality for over 28 years.

He is a member of the OFA, snowmobile club, and past member of the Canadian Federation of Independent Business.

Mr. Scharfe is the past Chair and founding member of the Ramsayville Community Association

Mr. Scharfe is presently a participant challenging Orgaworld at the Environmental Tribunal to ensure diapers and dog feces from the rest of Ontario and Quebec are NOT brought into the Ottawa Plant on Hawthorne Road.

"Democracy is an INHERITANCE AND A PRIVILEGE that our families, friends, and fellow Canadians have sacrificed for, however, democracy does NOT rule itself!"

"The engine of democracy is powered by elected representatives who are required to bring the direction of the community to City Council for Implementation."

Since Amalgamation, considerable effort and financial resources have been expended to co-ordinate the municipal services of the former municipalities into the new City of Ottawa, however, we are at a point in our history where decisions of unprecedented magnitude have to be made.

Decisions regarding land fills, transit, and recycling will have to be addressed, and as seen with the green bin contract, expenses incurred without common sense, are going to be paid for by our children.

I do not support a 2 BILLION dollar tunnel, and I do not support electric transit. I have fought the green bin program from the start, and I am still fighting it!

I do not support city managers making $300,000 per year plus bonuses.

I do not support the spreading of bio-solids on farm land, and I do not support tree cutting bylaws, tree cutting bylaw police, nor garbage police.

The people in Rural Osgoode do NOT want to pay more taxes to any level of government, and a VOTE for Mark Scharfe is a VOTE for a COMMUNITY in charge of spending!
