On April 12, 2003, Freedom Party held its second of two dinners in anticipation of Ontario’s 2003 provincial general election.

A number of Freedom Party’s candidates then each took a couple of minutes to introduce themselves, including Rob Smink, Gord Mood, Wayne Simmons, Dick Field (who gave a very spirited and particularly well-received speech), Carol Leborg, Charles Olito, and Franz Cauchi.

What is Happening to Your Freedom Party?

All, FPO Notes

Jan 112003

Document Description:
On or about January 11, 2003, Freedom Party leader Paul McKeever wrote an article to explain to FP’s members and supporters that many changes had happened to the organization, appearance, purpose and strategy of party. Most of the changes had happened since mid-2001 (when Paul McKeever and Robert Metz founded Freedom Party of Canada to advocate for freedom federally), and since McKeever had assumed the party leadership (in April of 2002). There was so much change that McKeever felt it important to summarize it for the membership.

This document was discovered in McKeever’s personal records on June 7, 2015. It does not appear ever to have been published or made public prior to that time, but it does explain in significant detail a number of major changes that were occurring to the party, and why. Continue reading »

Elieff / Leishman Dinner (October 23, 1999)

All, FPO Dinners

Oct 231999

VIDEO – DESCRIPTION:

On October 23, 1999, Freedom Party of Ontario held a dinner in support of London landlord Elijah Elieff’s civil action against Susan Eagle, the London Free Press, and others. Elieff had been smeared in the press. He also had been falsely accused of having engaged in racial discrimination against some of his tenants (the Human Rights Board of Inquiry found he had not engaged in racial discrimination). His name having been dragged through the mud, and he having been financially ruined due to activism by those who sought to take control of his apartment buildings and turn them in to a housing co-op, Elieff now was proceeding with a civil suit against those he believed were responsible.

Freedom Party’s Ontario Provincial Election 1999 Dinner (May 29, 1999)

All, FPO Dinners

May 291999

VIDEO – DESCRIPTION:
On May 29, 1999, Freedom Party of Ontario held the second of two dinners that it had held in support of its candidates in the 1999 Ontario provincial election. After an introductory speech by Master of Ceremonies Robert Vaughan, Freedom Party of Ontario founder Robert Metz introduced Mary Lou Gutscher, founder of a party that gave its registered status to Freedom Party in 1984 (Gutscher also was one of the first members of Freedom Party). Thereafter, short speeches were given by some of Freedom Party’s candidates for the 1999 election. Following the candidate speeches, Robert Metz spoke both as the party President and as the candidate for London North Centre. Finally, then party Leader Lloyd Walker (London-Fanshawe) gave the dinner’s closing speech.

The speeches reveal a good number of interesting, historical, and sometimes humourous facts and occurrences. Want to know how Freedom Party got registered, or how it got its name? Want to to know what it was like to be a candidate when the party was just getting started? Want to hear the story about how Mikhail Gorbachev came to own a copy of Ayn Rand’s “Capitalism: the Unknown Ideal”? Want to find out how the press deliberately distorts and disparages Freedom Party candidates? Watch, listen, learn, and laugh a bit.

All, FPO Dinners

Sep 301995

VIDEO – DESCRIPTION:

On September 30, 1995, Freedom Party of Ontario held a dinner featuring, as its guest speaker, Joe Armstrong, author of “Farewell the Peaceful Kingdom). In his talk, given just weeks before the Quebec referendum on secession, he asserted that “Canada is not breaking up: it’s breaking down”. In particular, he argued, identifying oneself as a member of an allegedly victimized collective has become an all-too-common and growing means for the seizing of wealth and power…and the government is playing along.
