The video is being used to promote a 2011 election plank released today by Freedom Party of Ontario…” Click here to read the full media release.
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.

“As we drive to work this morning, many of us are wondering how we are going to pay our auto insurance bills. The evidence from Ontario and other jurisdictions is now clear: the no-fault system Ontario adopted in 1990 leads to skyrocketing premiums, and dwindling benefits. A 2011 election plank released today by Freedom Party of Ontario says a Freedom government would follow the lead of over a dozen other North American jurisdictions by ending Ontario’s failed experiment with no-fault auto insurance. A Freedom government would restore the pre-1990 full-tort system, under which an accident causes only the at-fault driver to suffer increased premiums…” Click here to read the full media release.
