Ontario Libertarians run full slate in northeast

Liberals, NDP, PC, Green and Libertarians run candidates in all northeast ridings | CBC News - Eric White:

May 18, 2018 - "The ballots are now off to the printer for the June 7th Ontario election. There are 60 candidates running in the nine ridings of the northeast....

"Five parties are fielding a candidate in all nine ridings. The Liberals, New Democrats, Progressive Conservatives and Greens have done that for years, but this is the first time the Libertarian Party has a would-be MPP in every riding in the region.

"'First you have to make the people aware that you're there,' says Jozef Bauer, who lives in Iroquois Falls but is running for the Libertarians in Timmins.

"'You have to show them a sensible plan and you have to be passionate about it. Right now, there's a huge disconnect between big government and the people of Ontario.'

"Sudbury Libertarian candidate James Wendler says running a full slate of candidates and being organized is the best way for the party to shake [its] 'fringe' label.

"'Almost every person that I end up explaining Libertarianism to ends up being a Libertarian. That's why we're no longer considered fringe,' he says."
