Drew McPherson – Founder of the #DIVERSIPHORIA Movement
Drew McPherson is a proudly neurodivergent Canadian innovator, political reformist, and the unapologetic voice behind Diversiphoria — a grassroots movement that champions radical inclusivity, individualized freedom, and the power of neurodiverse leadership.
Diagnosed on the autism spectrum, Drew doesn’t just “embrace” neurodiversity — he builds entire systems around it. As a member of MENSA Canada and a graduate of the University of Waterloo’s elite Computer Science & Electronics program, Drew combines high-level analytical insight with a deep empathy for the marginalized voices often left out of political discourse. He’s not here to fit into the system — he’s here to reprogram it.
Diversiphoria isn’t just a word — it’s a declaration. It’s the joyful rebellion against conformity, the celebration of personal truth in a world addicted to sameness. Drew believes that diversity of thought isn’t just a strength — it’s our species’ superpower. His platform centers around dismantling systemic biases, de-universalizing government services, and enabling personalized social contracts so that every citizen is treated how they want to be treated — not according to some top-down, one-size-fits-none model.
With a history of whistleblowing against federal waste, surviving state-level corruption, and building pioneering digital tools for civic accountability, Drew has the receipts — and the scars — to prove he’s not afraid of uncomfortable truths. His political platform is grounded in equalism, psychological nuance, and the lived realities of those pushed to the edges.
Drew is building a new kind of political future — one where your differences aren’t just tolerated, they’re vital. Where people on the autism spectrum aren’t pitied, but empowered. Where “normal” isn’t a virtue, it’s a limitation.
This isn’t left or right. This is forward. This is Diversiphoria.
Reason for running
submitted by the candidate or their team
Canada has a corruption problem, and it’s costing lives. When I called for accountability, my own MP, Dr. Hedy Fry, refused to present my petition in the House of Commons, despite meeting the requirements. If our representatives won't fight for us, we need new ones who will.

Harm Reduction vs. Harm Exacerbation
Pierre Poilievre’s agenda isn’t just bad policy—it’s a death sentence. His plan to dismantle harm reduction will guarantee thousands of preventable deaths.
- Canada’s Health Care System is already overburdened, don’t make it worse.
- When Alberta slashed harm reduction, overdose deaths doubled in two years.
- If Poilievre enforces these failed policies nationwide, we could see over 10,000 deaths per year.
- In a full four-year term, 30,000 to 50,000 people could die.
Harm reduction saves lives. Removing it kills people. The math is simple.
Canada Needs Real Accountability
The government has been hijacked by an organized corruption network that silences accountability advocates. The Judicial system, non-profits, and mental health groups have been infiltrated by bad actors who weaponize personal medical data to target the most vulnerable. This is a systemic abuse of power that must be stopped.
- We need an "Untouchable" Accountability Group, inspired by Eliot Ness’s Untouchables, to investigate corruption without political interference.
- We need whistleblower protections that actually work.
- We need criminal prosecutions for officials caught abusing their power.
What I Have Uncovered
Through years of research, I have identified a coherent, organized hate group operating in Canada, particularly within judicial and mental health institutions. These individuals carry out organized harassment to silence and destroy people who speak out. The problem is so bad that the United Nations Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights has published a document on their website which describes these organized harassment techniques in detail.
- This isn’t just political corruption — it’s systemic oppression.
- Vulnerable people seeking help are being targeted instead.
- The very institutions meant to protect us are working against us.
What You Can Do
- Vote for accountability. If politicians aren’t answering to the people, they need to go.
- Spread the truth. The media won’t expose this—but we can.
- Push for real harm reduction. Lives are on the line.
This election isn’t just about politics. It’s about survival.
I’m DrewZero. I’m running because no one else will do what needs to be done.
