The Citizen, 2011-09-29, Page 10PAGE 10. THE CITIZEN, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 29, 2011.Group questions Hudak ahead of election
THE EDITOR,
There is a lot to be learned in this
election campaign by what isn’t said
in all-candidates meetings. We’d like
to hear about policies not people.
The American way of bashing
people has no place in our sovereign
country. Each candidate represents a
political party and before you vote
we want you to know some policies
of Ontario’s Conservatives and Tim
Hudak.
Hudak has said the Conservatives
“shouldn’t give up on trying to
financially help families who send
their children to private religious
schools.”
• Hudak admits he “may have”
signed a petition calling for an end to
abortion funding and in 1995 he
wrote Campaign Life Coalition: “I
believe it is the government’s role to
promote the choice of life in
childbearing decisions, to encourage
women to carry babies to full term.”
• Statistics Canada recently
reported the crime rate is the lowest
since 1973 and murder rate is lowest
since 1996 and yet Hudak has said,
“I’m tired of Liberal and NDP
politicians who would rather put
handcuffs on the police that put
criminals behind bars.”
• Privatization in Health Care –
Hudak clearly stated his openness to
private healthcare, saying “You
don’t really care at the end of the day
who owns the machines.” Private
healthcare is about making money
for shareholders. Public healthcare
puts people first. He pledged to
expand privately delivered services.
You the public should be aware he’s
received substantial financial
support from the private health
industry – and the CEO of Medcan
Health Management, was the chief
fundraiser in Hudak’s leadership
campaign.
If Mr. Hudak truly wanted to help
working families he’d be investing
in affordable, quality childcare.
As retired working people we
know the struggle many families go
through. We care because our
children and grandchildren are going
through the tough times right now.
Think of your children and
grandchildren when you vote. They
deserve better, and with Hudak we’d
see the Mike Harris Ontario with
those destructive, divisive policies.

THE EDITOR,
I have great respect for individuals
who put themselves under personal
scrutiny by putting their name
forward as a candidate in elections.
I have, however, some serious
concerns regarding the PC’s
promises and the costing of those
promises. They have stated that they
will make two per cent of cuts in
services. We all remember the havoc
the province was sent into when
Mike Harris promised one per cent
of cuts. Hospitals, schools and many
other sectors were in turmoil.
Does the current two per cent of
promised cuts mean the havoc and
turmoil will be twice as bad? The
amount of promised cuts is $6

An attractive double dormer adds character to this three-bedroom charmer, which features a partial second storey.
Entry is through a covered porch and into the foyer, with stairs to the upper floor on the left. A coat closet is tucked under the stairs.
Directly ahead, through an archway, is the spacious great room, with french doors opening out to a covered patio, the perfect spot for
the barbecue. With a half wall next to the archway, the great room is visible from the foyer.
The kitchen’s handy prep island will make for a contented cook. Both the kitchen and dining room, which have access to the back
garden, flow into the great room, creating one airy space.
The master suite, with a capacious walk-in closet and en suite, overlooks the back garden. Also on the main floor, a generous study
has french doors that open on to a veranda. A powder room for guests is nearby, separated from the laundry room by a linen closet.
Upstairs are two bedrooms, with a bathroom and second linen closet conveniently located to serve them. The front bedroom features
a built-in window seat, a cosy nook for reading or day-dreaming.
The double garage faces the street, with a door to the side garden, as well as one to the laundry room, which includes a second coat
closet for storing off-season items.
River-rock half-pillars accent the home’s exterior. Finishes include wood siding, with shingled gables, which boast decorative wooden
braces.
