Gerry Nicholls

Broadcaster Charles Adler calls Gerry Nicholls a “political warrior”, Toronto Sun Money Editor Linda Leatherdale says he’s a “fierce defender of democracy”, John McLaughlin, a top Republican pollster, describes him as a “brilliant strategist”, while the Fraser Institute has dubbed him a “non-partisan ideologue.”

But Gerry is really just a libertarian guy from Windsor who believes in free markets, free speech and free minds.

For more than 22 years, Gerry fought for the values he believes in as a senior executive with the National Citizens Coalition, Canada’s largest organization for the defence of economic and political freedoms, where he was the chief creative force behind the organization’s communication campaigns.

Broadcaster Mike Duffy called him "the brains behind the NCC" and no wonder -- Despite operating with the limited budget of a non-profit corporation, Gerry was able to craft imaginative media strategies that both swayed public opinion and attracted media attention.

Gerry is no longer associated with the NCC, but he is still speaking out in defence of Canada’s freedoms.

His columns appear regularly in several newspapers including the Toronto Star, the Globe and Mail, the National Post and in Sun Media papers.

A gifted speaker, Gerry has given presentations to such groups as the Fraser Institute, the Liberty Summer Seminar, the Canadian Constitution Legal Foundation and the Alberta Law Society.

Gerry is a Senior Fellow with the Democracy Institute and serves as a director with the Institute for Liberal Studies.

He currently resides in Oakville as a political exile.
