On September 21, 2002, Freedom Party of Ontario held its first Constituency Association workshop, for the riding of Prince Edward-Hastings, in anticipation of the 2003 provincial general election.

AUDIO – DESCRIPTION:

Citing a statistic and suggesting that a Canadian preference for television over print makes Canadians shallow, guest Gil Warren adds that such a situation leads people to support Nazis and…the Freedom Party of Ontario.

Metz puts a rest to that slander in short order with a to-the-point demonstration of the fact that Rand, in fact, was opposed to virtually everything that Hitler and his Nazis advocated. Warren proceeds to speak in dictator-like terms of the dangers of “allowing” people to have choice in education.
