Competent FCP candidate is ex-businessman and former school board trustee
ORANGEVILLE, April 8, 2002 (LSN.ca) – Incoming Premier Ernie Eves, the newly-elected Leader of the Ontario Progressive Conservatives is running in the Dufferin-Peel-Wellington-Grey by-election scheduled for May 2. The Family Coalition Party of Ontario (Ontario Coalition) has endorsed the candidacy of Mr. David Davies to run against Eves. Considering Eves’ left-leaning policies, especially in regard to life and family issues, neither the Liberal nor the NDP challengers will represent significant alternatives in the race.
Mr. Davies, a retired businessman and farmer, and past trustee with the Upper Grand District School Board, ran as a Reform candidate in the 1997 federal election and received 30% of the popular vote in his riding. Dedicated to the promotion of family values, the Ontario Coalition is the only provincial party that supports pro-life policies. The party endorses a slate of targeted tax cuts for families and business, advocates the use of Medical Savings Accounts for Medicare, electoral reform, and proposes a province-wide voucher system in education.
“My reasons for running in this by-election”, Davies declares, “are to speak up for ordinary families and citizens who are so marginalized by the social tax policies of Ontario’s Tories, Liberals and NDP.” Davies continues: “It is my hope to encourage the very discouraged core constituency supporting responsible, loving and hard working parents, families and our social structures.” Ontario Coalition leader, Giuseppe Gori, stated: “We’re very excited to have Dave representing us in this by-election. He’s an excellent candidate, and is going to raise the profile of the Ontario Coalition at a time when conservative values are less and less represented by the Ontario PC party.”
