Make your voice heard during these challenging times in Cape Breton!

Elect a man who gets the job done!

Elect Dr Strasser for Mayor of CBRM and watch this area grow!

We need leadership from someone who has been there!

Never mind electing the same old same old in Cape Breton.

Put your mark beside someone like Dr John Strasser who will create jobs and make our downtown thrive with lots of new jobs, businesses and incentives for people who move here looking for a better way of life, not just to retire.

We are tired of our young people moving to Halifax and other regions of Canada to find work.

This is not fair when all we have to do is elect someone who will create jobs to keep our families working locally in Sydney, New Waterford, Glace Bay, North Sydney, and Sydney Mines.

Dr John Strasser has earned numerous awards in Cape Breton and abroad to his credit over the years including his time as President of Sydney Steel and founding board member of ACOA and New Dawn Enterprises.

Who better to lead CBRM that someone with experience, vision, leadership skills, and someone who has been there all along as head of various companies, educational facilities and other governing bodies in Cape Breton and abroad.

Here's My Platform

What is Dr Strasser's platform you ask? Well look at it this way....

What is important to you in the CBRM? What issues have you fired up and need attention in our local economy in Cape Breton?

That is exactly what Dr John Strasser is interested in.. the issues that are bothering each and every citizen of CBRM !!

Just like you, Dr John Strasser feels strongly about a variety of troubling issues around the CBRM and feels strongly about making things better for all of us right here in the core of Cape Breton - CBRM and all it's towns and municipalities!

The time is right for a change! Elect Dr John Strasser for Mayor of CBRM in 2020 and watch things change!

Here are few issues that Dr Strasser will address in the upcoming debate at the Membertou Trade Convention Center Sept 24, 2020:

1. Healthcare, seniors care, home care - More doctors, clinics strategically positioned in CBRM
2. Jobs - build ecomony with targeted new business creation
3. Tourism, cruise ships, railways
4. Property assessments
5. Stagnating ecomomy
6. Container terminal
7. LGBTQ issues
8. Infastructure, NSEF, equalization - The NS Gov needs to respect our fair share of equalization payments needed in Cape Breton to fix roads, which are in desperate need of repair, sewer upgrades, and water to name a few.
9. Plus many more issues on the minds of local citizens of CBRM!
