On May 8, 1993, Freedom Party kicked off its May 9, 1993 political workshop with its “Reflections ’92’93” dinner: a retrospective on Freedom Party of Ontario’s recent political activities. Freedom 200 pins were awarded to the following attendees of the dinner: Joe Byway, Kathy Byway, Carol Fitzgerald, Kim Malcolm, Trudy Moody, Carol Ranzan, Conrad Ranzan, Silvio Ursomarzo, Carol Vandenberg, and Nick Whitehead.
Titled “Horizons”, the workshop was led by Freedom Party of Ontario president Robert Metz. It dealt with abstractions vs. concretes, with the definitions of key terms (e.g., government), and with issues raised by attendees.
The dinner and the workshop were held at the Ramada Inn 401 in London, Ontario. They both were video taped almost in their entirety. Video clips were shown at both the dinner and the workshop, and those videos (with the exception of one titled “Dutch Treat”, which cannot be located) have been integrated into the dinner and workshop videos at the appropriate places. Clip in the dinner video: London nurses all candidates election debate (election 1990). Clip in the workshop video (Part 1): excerpt from “Debate ’94”, concerning which is the moral system, capitalism or communism (featuring Leonard Peikoff, John Ridpath, Jill Vickers, and Gerald Caplan). Clips in the workshop video (Part 2): excerpt from “Family Ties” (re: freedom of speech), and a TV London News item concerning Robert Metz’s allegation that the human rights complaint against London landlord Elijah Elieff were a cover for an attempt to seize the landlord’s buildings.

AUDIO – DESCRIPTION:
On November 16, 1992, Freedom Party president Robert Metz gave a presentation to a group of students of Objectivism (Ayn Rand’s philosophy) at the University of Western Ontario, in London, Ontario. The topic: The relationship between political philosophy and political action.”
Description:
On November 16, 1992, an Ontario Human Rights Commission Board of Inquiry commenced a 10 day hearing in the matter of Chippheng Hon v. Elijah Elieff (COM. No. 20-1775). Hon was a tenant of Elieff’s apartment buildings. Hon was originally from Cambodia, and Elieff was originally from Macedonia. Each had difficulties with the English language. In her complaint to the Ontario Human Rights Commission, Hon alleged that Elieff had subjected her to harassment due to her “ethnic origin”. Although her complaint was initiated in 1989 – three years before the hearing began – counsel for the commission was allowed to add “race” as a basis of harassment on day 1 of the hearings. She was also permitted to add as a respondent the owner of the apartment buildings, which was not Elieff, but a corporation in which Elieff was a shareholder. Freedom Party president Robert Metz took an interest in the hearings, which were being held in London, Ontario, so he attended them. He quickly grew concerned by what he witnessed. On the fifth day of the hearings – February 2, 1993 – Metz was acknowedged by the Tribunal to be Elieff’s agent. Ultimately, largely thanks to Metz’s assistance, Elieff was found by the Tribunal not to have discriminated against Hon or his other Cambodian tenants. Along the way, Metz uncovered what can only be called a conspiracy that was an attempt to use a human rights complaint as just one part of a campaign to smear and financially ruin a landlord so that another entity affordably – and with taxpayer money – could take-over his buildings. It is a story that involves a local politician, a daily newspaper, and a major organized religion…and it’s all evidenced by the transcripts of the testimony of those involved.
These are transcripts of the proceedings of all 10 days of the Board of Inquiry’s hearings of the matter, as recorded by the official court reporter in the matter. In Freedom Party’s physical archive, the transcripts are bound together in two binders or “books”.
