TIM HUDAK FLIP-FLOPS ON BOOZE MONOPOLY:
NO CREDIBILITY ON LCBO/BEER STORE
PCs Seek Votes with Freedom Party Plank they rejected during Ontario Election 2011

December 4, 2012 Toronto – Ontario PC leader Tim Hudak today lifted a Freedom Party of Ontario plank that his party – along with the Liberals and NDP – rejected during election 2011.

Freedom Party leader Paul McKeever says Hudak’s cynically flip flopping on the issue, and accuses Hudak of engaging in another plan of bait-and-switch. [Click here to read the full release]

PC HEALTH CARE DELIVERY PLAN: NOT A “BUDGET” PLAN

An Open Letter to the People of Ontario from FP leader Paul McKeever

Ladies and Gentlemen of Ontario:

In the coming days, Ontario’s Progressive Conservative Party will attempt to grab headlines with a phony plan to tackle the budget deficit by reforming health care delivery. It will be a phony plan, because it will propose no reduction in health care spending and so will have no impact on budget expenses. Continue reading »

UNIONS BASHED TO DISTRACT VOTERS FROM BUDGET CRISIS

An Open Letter to the People of Ontario from FP leader Paul McKeever

Ladies and Gentlemen of Ontario:

We are all being distracted. We are being manipulated. We are not being told what we need to know.

Ontario currently has by-elections underway in Vaughan and Kitchener-Waterloo that will determine whether or not Dalton McGuinty’s Liberals gain a majority government. But that’s not the major issue.

The major issue is that Ontario is facing a budget crisis, soaring debt, and a plummeting credit rating that will devastate Ontario’s economy and impoverish everyone living in the province. Yet neither Dalton McGuinty’s Liberals, nor Tim Hudak’s Progressive Conservatives have plan to cut spending, balance the budget, and end the crisis. Continue reading »

PC MPP Peter Shurman Lashes Out at FP Leader on Facebook

Shows why PC success against Libs is as elusive as its positions on the issues

August 13, 2012 Toronto – On Sunday (August 12, 2012), Ontario Progressive Conservative Finance Critic Peter Shurman lashed out at Freedom Party leader Paul McKeever on FaceBook.com over comments made by McKeever while a guest of Jim Richards’ Showgram on Toronto news-talk radio station CFRB 1010 AM (August 9, 2012 – click here to hear the audio).
