Hopefuls try to wrest seat from Johnson

"You may have noticed there are not too many jobs around," commented David Pengelly, who is running under the Freedom Party banner.

He said the party seeks a peaceful, harmonious society that's not based on force. The purpose of government, he argued, is to protect individual rights, adding this is a moral society and it works. "Freer societies work better," he declared. Pengelly charged the NDP has brought in tax hikes and racist laws, as he stressed the need to get government back to basics. He called for tax cuts to leave more money to individuals so they can support the causes they choose. Social programs, he added, are not the job of government and are responsible for tax hikes that destroy jobs. These programs can be run by private charities.

"What we need are plenty of jobs, not plenty of legislation," he declared.

Pengelly called for an end to rent controls, noting they just discourage people from building good, affordable apartments.

He also opposed the province mandating programs for education. The Freedom Party would allow people to direct taxes to the schools of their choice. "Those schools will be able to have any kind of program that you want," he said.

He also opposed government involvement in day care. "The government's job is to protect individuals' rights, not to baby sit their kids," he remarked.
