In his remarks Mr. McKeough discussed what it meant to be a Progressive Conservative in 1971. "The party", he said, "is based, not on tradition itself, but on traditional values, that is conservative." "We are now faced with new challanges," he went on, "that call for new solutions • based on these traditions, and that is progressive." In commenting on policies of the New Democratic Party Mr. McKeough said, "For a society . to be truly democratic the Huron—Bruce riding, who severely criticized the Conservative plan of "centralization". He referred to three specific plans, county school boards, regional government, and the take-over of the assessment system by the provincial government. "During the 1967 election campaign the Tories never mentioned a word about county school boards," he said. "Then a month later they sprung the plan on the people without any choice on the matter. Obviously this plan was in the making before that election, but they never once mentioned it during the campaign." "In the same manner, regional government is not being mentioned by them during this campaign," he added, "but it is quite possible they will bring in individual must have a fu I choice in self government, we don't want to replace people with government." ;Tor do we want to nationalize for the sake of nationalizing,7 he stressed. "Th socialists, Big Brother attitude," he went on, "Has never worked and it won't work any better in Ontario," "As Progressive Conservatives," the minister said, "We should work for a victory strong enough to route the forces of the New Democratic Party in Ontario and keep them what they really are, just a factional group." The campaign, Mr. McKeough reminded the meeting, must start now and not end until October 21. We need to give up much, he said, and make many personal and business sacrifices to ensure a Progressive Conservative victory. a blanket policy on this if they are re-elected, soon after the election." Mr. McKeough lashed out at the N.D.P. saying that °`A vote for the New Democrats is a non-vote for they have no Policies and they have no party," "The N.D,P. now have 27 members in Toronto and therefore they have 27 different party policies." According to the cabinet minister in the past four years the New Democrats have not been able to agree on one policy. "The Liberals in Ontario do not expect to win this election," Mr, McKeough said, "and the N.D.P. are not geared to win an election." The minister of Economics praised Charles MacNaughton for the excellent work he had been doing in Queen's park over the past years and called on the voters of Huron riding to return him to office on October 21 as part of a Progressive Conservative Government.
