Ontario Budget Response – Cap & Trade: March 15, 2016
The Ontario Libertarian Party is opposed to the Cap and Trade Tax presented in the 2016 Ontario Provincial Budget and is the largest political party in Ontario opposed to any form of carbon pricing.
We provide a Media Release in response to the Ontario Budget, asking for a "Return to Common Sense." Campaign Director Rob Brooks recommends we stop speaking 'libertarian' to voters and speak common language if we hope to have them understand us. Scott Johnston sends a letter to Toronto city hall complaining about the damage the 'free' snow clearing service is doing to the sidewalks. Scott also comments on his concern that the government-run medical system could save money if people didn't live too long.
When I discovered the OLP it was an epiphany. I am 60 now and hadn't felt such a rush since my first love. As I researched further the shine began to come off the apple. When I look back at my first love I now sing to myself, "she ain't pretty she just looks that way." To be brutally concise I feel libertarians disdain for big government power is to be applauded but they don't research the consequences of transferring that power to the private sector.
The Ontario Libertarian Party is calling for “A Return to Common Sense”.
