Just call him "Mad Dog"
BY TIMES-JOURNAL STAFF
Gaining notoriety...
Freedom Party's Ray
Monteith is the only candidate so
far recognized by his peers
with a nickname. After
telling the crowd at St.
Joe's May 17 all-candidates meeting he would
be a watch dog at Queen's
Park if elected, incumbent
MPP Peter North referred to him as "Mad Dog
Monteith."
Waste not, want not ...
Freedom Party candidate
Ray Monteith isn't one to
mince words. When he was
asked why people should
vote for him he said why
not? "I voted for all the other
parties for years before I
realized it was a waste of
time," he said.
Bottom line...
In response to a recent question
about third-party liability
(eg., tavern owners) in the
event of an accident involving a drunk person, Ray
Monteith has a simple
answer. "You're not supposed to be drinking and
driving in the first place."
Was it the medicine?...
Mr. Monteith, after explaining to the Golden K Kiwanis
Club about a recent injury
and subsequent pain, said
individuals should be able to
bypass physicians and walk
into a pharmacy and sign for
their own prescriptions.
"This would save OHIP
millions of dollars, and that's
just in my case alone."
