VIDEO – DESCRIPTION:

This election commercial was aired on Sun News Network during the Ontario general election of 2011 to promote the party’s 2011 election plank: Affordable Electricity.

Transcript: “Ontario’s Liberals and Progressive Conservatives believe that the top priority for Ontario’s electricity system is fighting climate change.

Dalton McGuinty’s Liberals want to fight climate change by forcing you to pay hugely inflated prices for wind and solar power.

Tim Hudak’s Progressive Conservatives want to fight climate change by forcing you to pay tens of billions of dollars for new nuclear power generators. We haven’t even paid for the old ones yet.

I’m Paul McKeever, and I won’t spend one dollar of your money fighting natural climate change. A Freedom government will ensure that top priority is given to supplying you with the lowest-price electricity available.” Continue reading »

During the 2011 election, Freedom Party of Ontario released its election platform one plank at a time, beginning October 12, 2010 (Affordable Electricity). The 18th and final plank (Separating Public Schools and Organized Religious Practice) was released on August 2, 2011. Each plank was announced with a media release, and each plank release was accompanied by the release of a pre-election commercial that was viewable only on the web. Each plank release was also accompanied by an audio recording, available only on the web, of Freedom Party leader Paul McKeever reading the plank for the voter’s convenience. Freedom Party maintained a 2011 Election Platform web page. As each plank was released, a link to the plank was added to the Platform page. On September 7, 2011 – the day that the election writ was dropped for the 2011 Ontario provincial election – Freedom Party released its 2011 election platform as the world’s first-ever election platform audiobook.
