Social Mavrik Federation

Why Social?

And a more current view of social conservatism is provided by Adam Daifallah in his November 8, 2019 article in the National Post titled “Right Now: Conservatism in Canada is on the edge. We need bold new ideas”. It can be seen here.

Why Mavrik?

We took “Mavrik” from the word “maverick” which means “an unorthodox or independent-minded person”. The word has a second meaning of “an unbranded calf or yearling” from the name of Samuel A. Maverick (1803-70), a Texas rancher who did not brand his cattle.

Its six letters connect to six words that emphasize our fundamental concepts:

Why Federation?

The Wikipedia meaning: “A federation is a union of a number of self-governing states or regions, which are joined together under a central government. The central government is not able to do a lot of things that central governments in more centralized states can. These things are done by the states (or regions) in a federalized state.”

Our meaning: “A federation is a union of a number of self-governing locals who are joined together in our member-funded society. The federation is not able to do a lot of things on its own. These things are done by couples and families in their local areas.”
