VIDEO – DESCRIPTION:

This video was released to promote the party’s 2011 election plank: Separating Public Schools and Organized Religious Practice.

Commercial #1, Transcript: “In Toronto, public schools are holding prayer services on school property during school hours. In Windsor, Ontario, public schools are teaching Muslim students in Arabic. There are reports that some of Ontario’s public schools refuse to serve any meat that is not prepared according to Islamic law. Religion is a private matter. A Freedom government will separate religious practice and public eduation immediately. Freedom Party.”

Commercial #2, Transcript: “The following message is authorized by Freedom Party of Ontario. Ontario’s Progressive Conservatives are at it again. In 2007, they said they wanted to make taxpayers subsidize faith based private schools. [John Tory]: ‘You know, it’s still called the theory of evolution’. [John Tory]: ‘Fund all faiths…’. [Tim Hudak]: ‘I supported, for example, the tax credit we had for independent schools.’ Now the Progressive Conservatives are quietly planning to create faith-based public schools. [Tim Hudak]: ‘Create competition and choice, but within our public school system’. Say ‘no’ to faith-based funding. On October 6, 2011, say ‘no’ to Tim Hudak’s Progressive Conservatives.”

Commercial #3, Transcript: “Dalton McGuinty’s Liberals are now allowing organized prayer services in Ontario’s public schools during class. Tim Hudak’s Progressive Conservatives say they’ll do nothing to stop it. That’s because PC leader Tim Hudak is now quietly committed to faith-based public schools. [Tim Hudak]: ‘Choice, but within our public school system’. A Freedom government will say ‘no’ to faith-based public schools. Reading, writing, and arithmetic. Freedom Party.” Continue reading »

“Ontario’s Liberal and Progressive Conservative parties have refused to do anything to prevent Ontario’s public schools from being used for religious purposes: the distribution of religious texts, organized prayer, etc.. Freedom Party today is blaming Liberal-Conservative inaction on both a 2009 Liberal mandate that facilitates such measures, and a deliberately understated plan by Tim Hudak’s Progressive Conservatives to give parents religious school options within Ontario’s public school system…”.

updates-blog-entryDear Freedom Party Members and Supporters:

Re: Congratulations to Robert Vaughan, Tim Hodges

At the July 10, 2011 meeting of the Freedom Party of Ontario Provincial Executive, former FPO Officer Robert Vaughan was re-elected to the executive, and now serves as an Officer of the party. As such, he once again becomes a guardian, as it were, of the party’s guiding principles and policies. Welcome back Robert!

At the same meeting, Tim Hodges – a long-time FPO member, committed supporter, and seemingly unstoppable party volunteer/worker – was appointed a member of FPO’s Provincial Council. As such, he is now eligible to chair party committees set out in the party constitution, and to run for election to the Provincial Executive. Congratulations Tim! You certainly deserve it.

To all members and supporters, I will just add: we are all very lucky to have Robert and Tim. Be sure to send them your best wishes and congratulations.

Regards,

Paul McKeever, B.Sc.(Hons), M.A., LL.B.
Leader, Freedom Party of Ontario

Transcript: “Before the mass arrests. Before the claim that this isn’t Canada anymore. [Officer: “This ain’t Canada right now”; Pedestrian: “This isn’t Canada right now?” Officer: “No.”]. Before McGuinty’s secret five-metre rule. [Officer: “You’re within five metres of this wall so please turn off your video camera.”] Before the burning cars and broken windows, there was the decision to hold a politically explosive event in a city of millions, at a cost of billions. A Freedom government will require international political meetings to be held in remote locations, not in our cities. Keeping the peace safely and affordably: Freedom Party.” Continue reading »
