Hogg is running for PPC in Sackville-Preston-Chezzetcook <\/em><\/strong>
<\/p>\n\n\n

Name:<\/strong> Sybil Hogg<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Community:<\/strong> Sackville-Preston-Chezzetcook<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Family:<\/strong>\n Growing up, all four of my parents served in the Canadian Armed Forces.\n Two of them are currently serving in Ottawa. My paternal Grandfather \nalso served in the CAF then later settled on a farm with my Grandmother \nin Pictou County. My maternal grandparents are from Newfoundland where I\n too was born. My Poppy is a carpenter and my Nanny is a homemaker. I \nhave many siblings brought into the fold by blood, marriage and \nadoption. Regardless of however it is they came into my life I\u2019m \ngrateful for every single one of them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Profession<\/strong>:\n I released from the Army in 2015 to return to school. I spent 1 year at\n NSCC and as of 2019 I\u2019m a 4th year student at Dalhousie University. \nThis summer I\u2019m working as a landscaper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why are you running?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Government\n is meant to personify the will of the people. I cannot for the life of \nme remember the last time our government asked for my opinion let alone \nlistened to it. We require representatives in parliament who understand \nit is their job to speak on behalf of their constituents not for their \nconstituents. We require representatives in parliament who understand \nmany Canadians are struggling or can no longer afford to buy a home, \nsave for retirement, or purchase a full cart of groceries. I understand \nour government has grown beyond our means and am willing to lend my \nvoice to the good people of my riding so that their concerns are heard \nin the House of Commons. Myself and the People\u2019s Party of Canada will \nshrink government, lower taxes and put Canadians First.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What do you see as the top issue in your riding?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Healthcare, National Defense and Taxes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Healthcare:\n Our provincial government needs to be held accountable for the funding \nthey have received and the lack of services they have been providing. \nThrowing more money at a broken system will not fix it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

National \nDefense: We ask our service men and women to risk their lives for ours \nyet we don\u2019t provide them with the proper tools and equipment to perform\n their jobs as effective and efficiently as I know they are capable of. \nOur ships are basically rusted out tin cans, our jets have long since \nseen their prime and we are in desperate need of new \nweaponry\/technology. Considering Nova Scotia\u2019s geographical location we \nshouldn\u2019t be in this position.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Taxes: We pay such high taxes \nbecause our government loves to buy and pay for ridiculous things. $12M \non new fridges for Loblaws, $8.2M on a skating rink no one was ever \nallowed to use or have any kind of fun on, billions sent to Africa to \nbuild roads and fight climate change. We shouldn\u2019t miss out on time with\n our families to go work hard jobs with long hours in order to pay for \nthe new fridges of a company owned by billionaires. We must end \ncorporate welfare and drastically cut foreign aid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Do you have a hidden talent?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019m no Shania Twain but I can carry a bit of a tune.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is your hope for your riding?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\n is my hope to give the people of Sackville-Preston-Chezzetcook a \ngenuine voice in the HoC as opposed to a traditional yes man who votes \nin a block with the rest of his party.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
