\"Free

Canadians now have a new option at the polls in the upcoming October 21 federal election: the People’s Party of Canada (PPC)<\/strong>, whose founder and leader is Maxime Bernier. <\/p>\n

The PPC is a political party whose candidates can freely express<\/strong> many different concerns on a variety of issues – candidates who actually have <\/strong>a voice within their party, unlike most candidates in other parties. <\/p>\n

This very freedom within the PPC is just one of the ways that the PPC is ‘doing politics differently<\/strong>,’ and it has already sparked numerous controversies within establishment political circles and media. Remarkably, PPC leader Maxime Bernier<\/strong> has not attempted to silence his candidates but has instead come to their defence.<\/p>\n

This is just one of the characteristics that make the PPC unique, and its freedom of speech philosophy<\/strong> has been a major attraction for PPC candidates and supporters alike.<\/p>\n

While the PPC offers a platform limited to a specific set of policies, once PPC candidates have committed to supporting the PPC platform, they are otherwise free to address any issues that concern them. Each has his\/her own story to tell, and each has different reasons for being attracted to the People’s Party of Canada. Their stories – and the issues they raise – are as diverse as the candidates themselves.<\/strong><\/p>\n

On July 19th, Just Right attended the Party’s announcement of its candidates for the southern Ontario region. Just Right was also in attendance at the PPC’s first national conference<\/strong> held in Gatineau, Quebec from August 16-18. During these events, we were able to interview several PPC candidates one-on-one, and today’s broadcast is our first offering listeners a means to hear these candidates in their own words<\/strong>, and not through the filter of the mainstream media.<\/p>\n

Featured PPC candidates on today’s broadcast are (in order of appearance): <\/p>\n

David Haskell – Cambridge
\nLaura Lynn Thompson – Red Deer-Lacombe
\nBill Capes – Essex
\nIvan Pak – Richmond Centre
\nCody Payant – Carlton
\nDan Burr – Windsor-Tecumseh
\nBria Atkins – Lambton-Kent-Middlesex<\/p>\n

It’s refreshing to discover a political party founded on democratic principles<\/strong> that are Just Right, and even more refreshing to see candidates from diverse backgrounds and with different concerns unite around the common values that make Canada strong and free<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
