Tim Hudak Celebrates One Year Anniversary as Ontario PC Leader and Announces Party is Now Debt-Free


NEWS:

Today, Ontario PC Leader Tim Hudak joined caucus members and party supporters at a rally celebrating his first anniversary as leader of the Ontario PC Party.

Over the past year, the Ontario PC Caucus has presented itself as a positive, energized and united alternative to the out-of-touch and out-of-gas McGuinty Liberal Government.  Since Hudak became leader, the PC Party has seen its momentum steadily increase to the point that the PC Ontario Fund is now entirely debt free.

Hudak also used the occasion to announce the “Five Friend Challenge” through which Party members can inform their friends, family, neighbours and co-workers of the PC Party’s principles, policies and plans for Ontario’s future.

QUOTES

“While the Liberals are looking increasingly tired, out-of-gas and out-of-touch, our PC team is united and strong.  We have held Dalton McGuinty accountable for his scandals, broken promises, runaway spending …. and for every last nickel he has taken out of the pockets of Ontario families.

– Ontario PC Leader Tim Hudak

“Instead of higher taxes on paycheques and everything you buy, we will cut taxes and create jobs.  Instead of uncontrolled spending, we will invest in frontline healthcare first. And instead of the culture of entitlement that has rewarded so many Liberal friends and insiders, we will restore integrity and accountability back to government so that Ontario can lead again.”

– Ontario PC Leader Tim Hudak
