Oshawa Taxpayers Federation Ed Goertzen, VP Organization

Ed Goertzen, OTF VP Organization, has been a student of a variety of disciplines in his academic life. Since being bitten by the political bug in the mid 50’s, he has been a provincial and municipal candidate.

He will be married 54 years this fall, and with his spouse, they have raised 5 children in Oshawa since 1973, while working as manager for the Toronto Star.

Ed has a passion for Democracy “the way it should be practiced”, and believes that the ‘Demos’, the people, are the only one of the five “estates”, powers, that are not organized.

“The first goal of obtaining good laws should be consensus and none partisanship, (by consent of the people) , the adversarial system should be confined to the courts”.
