Elect Steve Lesperance: Six Questions to Ask Before You Believe a Blogger

Six Questions to Ask Before You Believe a Blogger Hi, I’m *Steve Lesperance, candidate for Ward 8 Councillor.* During an election, voters are surrounded by websites, blogs, Facebook posts, anonymous comments, rumours, and accusations. But before accepting something as true or sharing it with someone else we should ask a few simple questions. *In this video, I discuss six questions every voter should ask:* 1. Who is the writer? Are they willing to put their real name behind what they say? 2. How long have they been doing this? Did the blog suddenly appear during an election or begin focusing on one particular person? 3. Who is commenting? Are they real, identifiable people or a collection of anonymous accounts repeating the same message? 4. Are they reporting news or attacking someone? There is a difference between asking fair questions and trying to destroy someone’s reputation. 5. Where is the proof? Can you see the documents, read the full quotes, and examine all the important evidence yourself? 6. Who benefits? Is there a political, financial, business, campaign, or personal connection that should be disclosed? “Someone told me” is not proof. When you see serious accusations online, don’t just ask, “What are they saying?” Ask: Who is saying it? Where is the proof? Can I check it myself? And who benefits if I believe it? Hear both sides. Look at the records. Go to the original source. *THINK FOR YOURSELF.* An informed voter doesn’t let an anonymous stranger do their thinking for them.

Steve Lesperance - Woodville FREEDOM GROUP Presentation | Ward 8 | August 16, 2026

Steve Lesperance — Woodville FREEDOM GROUP Presentation | Ward 8 | August 16, 2026 *UPDATE FOR CLARIFICATION: 19:28 I said, "here's a team for accountability, that's what I see that we need.", I am not saying that this is the team.* On Sunday, August 16, 2026, I had the opportunity to speak at the Woodville FREEDOM GROUP about why I am running for Ward 8 Councillor in the City of Kawartha Lakes and what I believe needs to change at City Hall. This presentation covers some of the biggest parts of my campaign: 🔹 Accountability at City Hall — government must remember who it works for: **the people**. 🔹 Cutting Taxes & Cutting Waste — before asking taxpayers for more money, we need to look seriously at waste, duplication, contracts, litigation costs and whether taxpayers are receiving real value. 🔹 PITA — Public Issue Tracker APP Got an issue? Put it in PITA! Report it. Map it. Track it. Get answers. One complaint can be overlooked. A visible pattern cannot. 🔹 Cube House Media — rebuilding local, independent communication so residents, businesses and community voices have another way to be heard. 🔹 Paper Ballots & Election Transparency — election confidence should be based on a process people can observe, understand and independently verify. 🔹 Witness Your Vote — a citizen-led initiative focused on voter documentation, witnessing, paper-ballot advocacy and building greater public confidence in our elections. I am not claiming that I have proof an election has been rigged. I am asking a much more basic question: Can the people independently verify the process and the result? I believe residents deserve; service, records, results, value for money and real accountability* I am not running simply to hold a seat. I am running to work for the people. CHANGE IS COMING! 🌐 SteveLesperance.com 📍 PITA Public Issue Tracker: SteveLesperance.com/map If you believe Kawartha Lakes needs stronger accountability, lower taxes, better representation and election p

Steve Lesperance — YORK REGION CANADIANS FOR T.R.U.T.H. Presentation | Kawartha Lakes Election 2026

Steve Lesperance — YORK REGION CANADIANS FOR T.R.U.T.H. Presentation | Kawartha Lakes Election 2026 2026.09.19 I was honoured to be invited as an added special guest to speak at YORK REGION CANADIANS FOR T.R.U.T.H., hosted by Lynn & Sonny. The first guest speaker was Shelagh McFarlane, author of the POGG Primer, POGG Protocol & POGG Playbooks — Peace, Order & Good Governance. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PCPl01QfRSM Through her POGG work, Shelagh presents her position that Canada is facing what she describes as a “National State of Emergency” and examines the influence she believes international agendas, including United Nations initiatives, are having on Canadian governments and institutions. Shelagh is now running for Ward 7 Councillor in the City of Kawartha Lakes. I was then invited to speak about why I am running for Ward 8 Councillor, what needs to change at City Hall, and one fundamental principle: WE WORK FOR THE PEOPLE. It was also encouraging to have other Mayoral and Councillor candidates from across Ontario in attendance, bringing together people who want stronger municipal accountability. A GREAT CROWD AND GREAT Q&A My message was very well received. The crowd was engaged, and we had a strong Q&A session at the end. Watch right to the end, some of the best discussion happened during the Q&A. IN THIS PRESENTATION: 🔹 Government Accountability Government must remember who it works for, the people. 🔹 Cutting Waste and Reducing Taxes Before asking taxpayers for more, examine spending, contracts, consultants, management costs and duplication. Protect essential services. Cut the waste first. 🔹 PITA — Public Issue Tracker APP Got an issue? Put it in PITA! Report it. Map it. Track it. Get answers. One complaint can be overlooked. A visible pattern cannot. PITA helps residents document municipal problems, track complaints and make patterns visible while protecting private information. 🔹 Cube House Media Communities need independent...
