Robert’s political views have always favoured a rational government whose purpose should be to protect an individual’s inalienable rights to life, liberty, and property. He has opposed all forms of collectivism on the moral ground that such ideologies are contrary to the flourishing of individual human life.
He ran federally in the 2000 election for the Canadian Alliance and was the Campaign Manager for People’s Party of Canada candidate Salim Mansur in the 2019 federal election. Until his recent move to the province of New Brunswick, he had been a member of the Freedom Party of Ontario since 1986.
