Freedom Party receives letters on a daily basis. Party leader Paul McKeever reads all of them, and tries to respond to all of them (though he could not possibly answer all of them).
In the last few days, Progressive Conservative party leader Tim Hudak announced that he would remove the debt retirement charge from Ontario electricity bills. Like his promise to make time of use billing optional, it is a proposal lifted from Freedom Party of Ontario’s far more substantive electricity plank for the 2011 provincial election; a plank that was released way back on October 12, 2010. You can read it here: https://freedomparty.on.ca/electricity/electricity.htm. In true Progressive Conservative style, Mr. Hudak decided to lift these planks only because his party discovered, through polling, that these Freedom Party proposals are popular. His desire to lead by following the polls (i.e., his desire to be the Follower in Chief), has – of course – also led him to lift a plank from Ontario’s socialist New Democrats, who have proposed to remove Ontario’s 8% portion of the HST from electricity bills (the NDP says they’ll make up for the $1.2B loss by taxing corporations, whereas Tim Hudak’s PCs want us all to believe that he’ll be paying for his promises by “cutting red tape” and finding “waste in the system”: we’ve all heard that ridiculous song before).
Not surprisingly, Hudak’s unprincipled and irrational (some might say “liberal”) poll-following ways are losing him supporters. Today, we feature a letter from an Ontario conservative who has had enough of Tim Hudak and the PCs. His letter follows immediately below, and is followed immediately thereafter by Freedom Party leader Paul McKeever’s reply. Continue reading »

VIDEO – DESCRIPTION:
This video was released to promote the party’s 2011 election plank: Alcoholic Beverages: Wider Selection, Lower Prices, Shopping Convenience.
Selection – Transcript: “This is Crystal Head vodka: a premium vodka made in Canada. This is Smash Bomb Atomic IPA: a premium ale brewed in Barrie, Ontario. For reasons of political correctness, you cannot buy these products in L.C.B.O. stores. A Freedom government will allow other stores to open and sell even the products that the L.C.B.O. refuses to sell. A wider selection for adults: Freedom Party.”
Price – Transcript: “In Ontario today, it is against the law to sell a bottle of beer for less than $1.08. It is also against the law to sell a bottle of liquor for less than $22.80. The L.C.B.O. dictates the price of all alcoholic beverages, even at The Beer Store. A Freedom government will eliminate Minimum Pricing laws. Every store will be free to compete for your business by lowering their prices. Lower Prices: Freedom Party.”
Convenience – Transcript: “You’re at the 24 hour grocery store. Your friends are coming over for dinner in a few minutes, but you have no wine or beer to offer them. You check your watch. The liquor store and The Beer Store are both closed. With a Freedom government, this will never happen again. If you are an adult, you’ll be able to buy wine or beer in a grocery store, or in a convenience store, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Convenience, from Freedom Party.” Continue reading »

This video was released to promote the party’s 2011 election plank: End Forced Religious Observance: Choice in Shopping .
Transcript: “Ontarians celebrate hundreds of religious holy days every year. But, in 1975, Ontario’s Progressive Conservatives passed a special law that has fined and imprisoned retailers who have opened their stores on Christian holy days. A Freedom government will scrap the Conservatives’ shopping ban. You will no longer be forced to observe any religious holy days. An Ontario that doesn’t play favourites. Freedom Party.” Continue reading »

Transcript: “In 2009, Ontario’s Liberal government banned lawn and garden pesticides. [Dalton McGuinty]: ‘We’re gonna ban the sale of those cosmetic pesticides.’ The McGuinty government says you don’t need pesticides. We think Ontario doesn’t need pests. A Freedom government will eliminate the pesticide ban. Ontario will have beautiful lawns and gardens again. Freedom Party.” Continue reading »

VIDEO – DESCRIPTION:
This video was released to promote the party’s 2011 election plank: Restore Choice in Health Care.
Ontario once had a health care system that focused on making the sick and injured well. On October 1, 1969, Ontario’s Progressive Conservatives banned that system and replaced it with Medicare. This video features the father of Ontario’s Medicare system, Reverend Tommy Douglas. Watch this video and, in just 4 minutes and 23 seconds, your beliefs about Ontario’s Medicare system are sure to be changed. Medicare was never designed to be able to focus on making the sick and injured well: from the outset, it was known that the best Medicare could afford to do was to focus on keeping the healthy healthy. A Freedom government will restore the health care choices that Ontario’s Progressive Conservatives banned in 1969, so that we can return to a system that focuses on making the sick and injured well.
