Unlike the conventional methods of rust proofing which tend to work as coating, a KROWN treatment actually displaces moisture and creeps into the inner metal fold of the vehicle - the areas where the most rust problems start. The KROWN formula remains active as an invisible barrier to repel mositure and salt and prevent it from re-entering the metal. The KROWN product can be applied in any season and in any weather.

After October 20th, it will be 4 more years before you can vote again for change. Can you afford to wait?

Paul Power was born and raised in the district, and is of Irish/Scottish/Acadian heritage with strong family ties in Alder Point, Florence and Sydney Mines. He is a volunteer with Big Brothers/Big Sisters of Cape Breton County and helps with the kids sock hops at St. Stephen’s Parish Hall in Florence. He attended college in Ontario and worked as a television producer at the local cable station for 26 years before being laid off with 14 other co-workers. He knows what it’s like to be unemployed in Cape Breton, and to change careers. He also knows what it’s like firsthand to see children have to go to Alberta for work and to advance their trade.

Paul Power believes that the CBRM could have a better and more prosperous future, but only with positive change. The old style of doing things DOES NOT work anymore. Some people believe that the “old school backroom boys” style of politics has done nothing but make a few of the island’s establishment richer, while the average Joe has to work more hours, or even have two or more jobs just to make ends meet, while a small few benefit from the old “who you know” way of doing things. Are you better off now than you were even 5 years ago? Paul Power is proud to say that he IS NOT affiliated with any political party! Paul Power WILL stand his ground and fight for your interests, you-the voter!

No politician can tell YOU what the issues are, it’s different for every community and for every individual; you and only you know best what those issues are. If elected, Paul Power will always be reachable and will also hold regular sessions in each of the communities in District 1 to meet with you, to hear your concerns and do what he can to help you. Whatever you decide, please make sure you vote on October 20th.

District 1 is comprised of Alder Point, Florence, Little Pond, Sydney Mines and Tobin Road. Contact Paul at 736-9402 email: [email protected]
