The nature and definition of reason, faith, consensus, belief and knowledge are discussed. Along the way, McKeever and Metz address actual examples of government decision-making based on Faith or Consensus, such as government's response to a belief in a man-made, CO2-driven, global warming catastrophe, and a recent Progressive Conservative election promise to fund private religious schools - but not non-religious ones - with taxpayer dollars.

School Safety and the Race Card
April 26, 2007
Running Time: 10 minutes, 4 seconds.

In 2000, the Government of Ontario introduced the Safe Schools Act which introduced a "zero-tolerance" approach to violence and other problem behaviours in Ontario's schools. The Act gave teachers and principles the discretion to suspend or expel students engaged in some behaviours, and actually required students to be suspended or expelled for engaging in more serious behaviours. Almost all of the behaviours that led to a suspension or expulsion were acts that contravene Canada's Criminal Code, including such things as: giving alcohol to a minor, selling narcotics in school, bringing a fire-arm to school, and rape.

In 2005, Ontario's Human Rights Commission filed a complaint against Ontario's Ministry of Education, claiming that certain "races" of pupils were being suspended or expelled more often than others. They implied that the Act is somehow biased according to genetic make-up.

On April 13, 2006, the Human Rights Commission announced that it had settled its complaint with the Ontario government. The Ontario Liberal government of Dalton McGuinty, and the opposition Progressive Conservative party led by John Tory, agreed with the notion that zero tolerance for violence is an approach that has no place in our system of schooling (!!).

On April 16, 2007, Paul McKeever discussed these developments as a guest of Christine Williams' programme "On the Line" (CTS).

August 1, 2007
Running Time: 24 minutes, 10 seconds

In this information-packed video, FP leader Paul McKeever explains that the "fiscal gap" is a myth...a myth promoted by provincial politicians who are afraid of being accountable to the public for raising taxes or cutting spending.

ep. 11: Adding Fuel to the Socialist Fire
May 22, 2007
Running Time: 16 minutes, 5 seconds

On long weekends, and at other times when demand for gasoline increases, gasoline prices often increase. Many politicians jump on this opportunity to allege "collusion" among gasoline companies, and to call prices increases "price gouging".

On May 17, 2007 - the Thursday prior to the Victoria Day long weekend in Ontario - Ontario's Progressive Conservatives (PCs) introduced a private members Bill (Bill 228, Gas Prices Notice Act, 2007) which would require gasoline companies to give consumers three days advance notice of any increase in gasoline prices. One day later, PC leader John Tory issued a media release stating he told gasoline companies that they "must" do a better job of "justifying" their prices.

In this episode of FPTV, Paul McKeever discusses the injustice of calling the proper functioning of the price system "price gouging", and explains how the PCs bill would actually cause consumers to force gasoline companies to sell fuel below cost: Bill 228 replaces alleged "price gouging" with patently obvious "fuel gouging".

ep. 10: Who Do Ya Love?
May 17, 2007
Running Time: 17 minutes, 2 seconds

Every party is often asked: "Who is your constituency? The poor? The rich? Business? Workers?" et cetera. For most political parties, the honest answer is that they try to win collectives to their side, in an attempt to cobble together enough votes to win seats. Most parties are not guided by any real philosophy of any sort, instead playing the numbers game to win power.

Was it always this way? In this episode of FPTV, Paul McKeever explains why so many parties are completely lacking in any philosophical commitments, and why they seek mainly to please the majority.

Along the way, Paul relates his explanation to paintings, popular music, and a speech by author/novelist Ayn Rand.

ep. 9: "Global Warming" and the Incandescent Light Bulb Ban
May 4, 2007
Running Time: 9 minutes, 21 seconds

In mid February of 2007, the McGuinty government announced that it was considering a host of power conservation measures, including a ban on the incandescent lightbulb. Both the governing Liberals and the opposition Progressive Conservatives referred to this proposal as one aimed at fighting global warming by limiting CO2 emissions. Opposition leader John Tory actually suggested that the ban should be imposed immediately, to fight global warming, and that McGuinty's slowness to ban the incandescent bulb was unacceptable.
 

In this episode of FPTV, FP leader Paul McKeever exposes the actual reason for the incandescent lightbulb ban in Ontario. Hint: it isn't a fight against global warming. Recorded: February 23, 2007.

ep. 8: Electoral Reform - Replacing Reason with Majority Whim
April 4, 2007

It is expected that, on May 15, 2007, Ontario's Citizens Assembly on Electoral Reform will recommend replacing Ontario's Single Member Plurality (SMP or "First Past the Post") electoral system with the Mixed Member Proportional (MMP) system. If it does so, Ontario will hold a referendum on October 10, 2007, to decide whether or not to replace Ontario's SMP system with the MMP system.

The key difference between the two electoral systems is that the SMP tends to yield single-party majority governments, whereas the MMP tends to create minority governments.

In this episode of FPTV, Freedom Party leader explains to Ontario's Select Committee on Electoral Reform that minority governments exclude the possibility of rational and exclude ethics from the law-making process. Only a majority government, submits McKeever, allows a government to make laws according to what is right rather than just according to what is merely popular.

NOTE: the Select Committee was comprised of elected members of the provincial legislature and held its hearings in 2005. On the basis of its report, the government set up Ontario's Citizens Assembly on Electoral Reform. Recorded: October 6, 2005.

ep. 7: The Minimum Wage
March 29, 2007

Running Time: 22 minutes, 31 seconds

On February 8, 2007, the governing Liberal Party of Ontario lost a seat (York South-Weston) to the New Democratic Party. York South-Weston is, statistically, the second poorest riding in Ontario, and the NDP's success in the by-election was widely attributed to its proposal to raise Ontario's minimum wage from $8 per hour to $10 per hour.

To avoid losing more seats to the NDP, the governing Liberal Party has decided to allege that poverty is a central concern for them in the coming October 10, 2007 general election.

March 22, 2007 was budget day in Ontario, and Greg Sorbara, Ontario's Minister of Finance, announced that Ontario's minimum wage would increase by 75 cents per year over the next three years, bringing the minimum wage to $10.25 by 2010.

The leader of Her Majesty's Loyal Opposition, John Tory (leader of the Progressive Conservative Party of Ontario) has, in recent months, agreed with the idea that Ontario's minimum wage must be increased.

In this episode of FPTV, Freedom Party leader Paul McKeever explains why increasing the minimum wage would be both immoral and economically hazardous...particularly to employees in Ontario. Recorded: February 6, 2007.

ep. 6: The Property Tax Issue
March 18, 2007

Part 1: The Homestead Act
Running Time: 16 minutes, 37 seconds

Ontario's current property taxation system requires the value of each taxed home to be assessed. Allegations that the Municipal Property Assessment Corporation has made unfair or erroneous evaluation of the values of homes recently led the Ontario government to freeze property values until after the general election of 2007. In 2006, Ontario PC MPP Tim Hudak proposed a 5% cap on the increase in the deemed value of a property assessment. PC leader John Tory has made it clear that the 5% cap is a major plank in his party's 2007 election platform. In this first of a two-part episode of FPTV, FP leader Paul McKeever examines Hudak's proposal, and explains that it would cause problems without addressing the fundamental problems associated with property taxation.

ep. 4: Marijuana and Tory Hypocrisy
January 2, 2007

Running Time: 9 minutes, 2 seconds

Political parties are often asked for their stand on marijuana (even though laws prohibiting marijuana are federal, not provincial). In this episode of FPTV, FP leader Paul McKeever outlines Freedom Party of Ontario's position on marijuana.

The balance of the episode is about the hilarious hypocrisy of Progressive Conservative party leader John Tory. Tory's recent attempt to appear tough on drugs exploded in his face when it was discovered he had written an article in which he admitted carrying a half-pound of marijuana, getting so high that he went temporarily mute, and driving while his depth perception was extremely impaired from (he says) marijuana use.
