David Pengelly - Freedom Party
The Freedom Party of Ontario will field its first Metro candidate in Don Mills riding.
Computer analyst and consultant David Pengelly will run for the London-based party.
But he admits that his chances of winning the predominantly Tory riding are small, if not nonexistent.
"My objective in running as the Freedom Party's first Toronto candidate is to attract new supporters, members and activists for the period following the election," says Pengelly. "That's when the Freedom Party really makes a difference in the communities where it is established."
Pengelly says that "the choice facing voters in Don Mills is a simple one - state control or individual freedom. Voters must decide to be responsible for their own choices or the politicians of the other parties will make them for us."
His platform will centre on Sunday shopping - a thorny issue in the side of the Liberal government - censorship, a free market economy, and ending government monopolies.
"Unlike the traditional parties, the Freedom Party is committed to the principles of individual freedom and individual responsibility," said Pengelly. "The purpose of government is to protect our freedom of choice, not to restrict it."
