| Basia Krzyzanowski | Yes | The province can be providing funds for Ontario cities to develop active transport infrastructure. Imagine the city with a network of walking, hiking and biking paths. In Ottawa, Colonel Bye drive is closed every Sunday morning and is packed with cyclists. Hamilton can follow suit easily.
Hamilton has Open Streets, and the Super Crawl. When I was a child we used to close Spruceside Ave for street dances. It's time to make these simple community-building activities more accessible. And speaking of accessible, mass transit will be a wonderful mechanism to get seniors, families and those with special needs to move efficiently from A to B. Plus it will remove vehicles from the roads and make access by active transport safer and more available to others. |
| Geoff Peacock | Maybe | In this election, Freedom Party candidates are focused on
two things: restoring trust in government by balancing the budget without massive job cuts, and restoring affordable electricity by pulling the plug on already-existing, over-priced, Liberal green energy deals (without a penalty). Our position is that there should be no new spending unless and until the budget is balanced. You may consider this my reply to all of the questions in your questionnaire. |
| Stefanos Keratopis | No | My answer to all of these questions are no. However, that does not mean these things should not be done. I just do not think government should be doing them. I am opposed to all forms of government monopolies.
With the province having a $295 Billion debt is it really a smart thing to commit itself to large scale projects and more massive spending and more unsustainable tax increases? We need to reduce the size of government, sell off all government monopolies such as the LCBO/OLG and use that money to reduce the provincial debt, invest in restoring Ontarians freedoms and get government out of the way of business and REMOVE ALL red tape so they can create jobs.

| Tim Hudak | Maybe | Thank you very much for your letter. We appreciate the opportunity to listen to your priorities for Ontario. We share your commitment to Ontario's future and believe that with more and better jobs, we can do what's necessary to bring about the change Ontario needs.
I'm excited about our Million Jobs Plan-a plan to bring jobs back to Ontario, stop overspending, balance the budget and keep our debt from growing. Our plan relies on the notion that government should be smaller, but what it does, it does better. Our priorities for this election can be found at www.millionjobsplan.com We need to face our challenges honestly and compassionately. It won't be easy, but it can be done and it will be worth it. I know we can build a previously unimagined Ontario, but it's going to take some courage and a willingness to challenge the failed status quo. That's what our Ontario PC Million Jobs Plan delivers. We are asking government to tighten its belt, the way everyday Ontarians have, so that one million men and women out of work will have a shot at solid, good-paying jobs. We've got a job to do. It's time to get Ontario working better. |
