LONDON (April 23, 1998) - At a London West Reform Party Constituency Association dinner held at the Seven Dwarfs restaurant, Fp president Robert Metz and Fp executive member Paul Blair were delighted to find themselves sitting at the head table with guest of honor Jason Kenney, Reform MP for Calgary Southeast. [Association president and master of ceremonies, Terry Biggs, introduced Metz to the audience, which audibly reacted with recognition upon hearing about his regular appearances on Left-Right-Center, a radio talk show which airs weekly in the city. (See related brief elsewhere in this issue.)]
Kenney was in town to discuss Canada's overburdening tax rates and regulations, and to advocate a move towards a flat tax, a policy with which Freedom Party heartily agrees. As past- president of the Canadian Taxpayers' Federation, it should not be surprising that Kenny supports the flat-tax concept, but it is refreshing and commendable that he continues to advocate flat taxes as a Reform Party MP in the House of Commons.
After discussing common acquaintances and common ideals, Metz congratulated Kenny on his courageous tax stance, and the two exchanged business cards and promised to keep in touch.
Our appreciation and thanks are extended to London West Reform organizers, Terry Biggs, Craig Stevens, and Jim Montag, both for their hospitality and for bringing an excellent event to the London area.
