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.

Our Prime Minister in private is a pretty funny guy ,it’s too bad we don’t get to see the lighter side of Harper.

“Stephen Harper continues to impress me,” said Nanaimo-Alberni MP James Lunney. “People don’t see him the way we see him, he has a terrific sense of humour and he’s able to analyze from so many different angles.”

He said it’s unfortunate there are increasing security concerns and he’s had to become less accessible.

“There’s some real nasty people around.”

He added that the Prime Minister doesn’t get to show his humour, such as his skilled impersonations, because of the worry of offending someone.

Yesterday I was canvassing in one of the hotly contested races in the GTA. It was a great experience  getting involved in my local campaign. I want to encourage every grassroots supporter to get out there and help out any way you can. This will ensure that we all wake up to a conservative majority on May 3.

This morning the conservatives officially launched their policy platform for the 2011 election “here for Canada”. The platform focuses on Canadian families, the economy and a plan to create jobs.

let’s not forget my personal favorite promise to phase out public subsidies for political parties within three years. If you want more details the complete platform for the conservative party can be found here 

Conservative Platform 2011

From  Canadian Press
Conservative party officials say their agenda, which they’re calling “Here for Canada,” will be divided into five separate priorities.


It will include ideas for job creation, more support for seniors, a plan to cut the deficit, new crime laws and investment in the north.


The Tories have already said the platform will also include a promise to compensate Quebec for harmonizing its sales tax.


The plan will be unveiled at an event in Mississauga, Ont., where Harper will surround himself with the very voters he hopes the plan will win over.




Also other key focuses of the platform will be dealing with the issue of human smuggling in Canada. Along with Eliminating subsidies for political parties if the Conservatives are granted a majority government.
