  • Kevin Gaudet To Run for Ontario PCs

    From  Globe and Mail

    Mr. Gaudet said he has spent the past four year complaining from the sidelines about the need for governments at both the federal and provincial levels to lower taxes, produce less waste and be more accountable to taxpayers.

    “It’s time to stop being an armchair quarterback and put some skin in the game,” he said in an interview.

    “I’ve known Kevin for a long time,” PC Party Leader told reporters on Monday. “This is a guy who stands up for taxpayers, who stands up for ordinary, hard-working families and I’m very pleased that he’s put his name forward to be a candidate.”

    “GTA families know they can count on Kevin Gaudet for the respect they deserve and the relief they need. The addition of Kevin to our team shows our growing momentum as we move to deliver change for hardworking families across Ontario.”

    It’s great to see a candidate of Kevin Gaudet quality put his name forward for the Ontario PCs.  He has a long history of advocating for Canadians from coast to coast  through his work at the Canadian taxpayers Federation. A organization that emphasizes the priorities of lower taxes, less government and not least of all being a watchdog for waste. Mr. Gaudet is a perfect addition to Tim Hudak’s team.

  • Update on Andre Forbes



    In a stroke of bad luck for Michael ignatieff he still  has disgraced racist candidate Andre Forbes running under the Liberal party banner . Because Mr. Forbes did not formally drop out elections Canada cannot take his name off the ballot. 




    The Liberal leader booted Quebec candidate Andre Forbes from the party last week for once describing aboriginal people as “featherheads” and questioning their work ethic.


    But Forbes did not pull out of the race and will remain a Liberal on the ballot in the northern Quebec riding of Manicouagan.


    A spokesman for Elections Canada says the Liberals cannot run another candidate as long as Forbes’ name is on the ballot.




    This should be a case study in why background checks are of paramount importance. In addition here is Forbes in his own words it is disgusting this man does not deserve to run for any public office.
