Oxford gains Ontario Libertarian candidate

Libertarian's announce Oxford candidate | Tillsonburg News - Chris Funton, Woodstock Sentinel-Review:

March 29, 2018 - "The Libertarian Party of Ontario has announced that Woodstock's Chris Swift will represent them in Oxford in June's provincial election.

"Swift is a full-time parent of two children with experience in the auto manufacturing, retail, service and entertainment industries. He currently serves as the Secretary on the Executive Committee for the Ontario Libertarian Party....

"'I believe that the status quo no longer has any interest in serving the people that help to elect them,' said Swift. 'One thing I keep hearing from people in Oxford is that they can not in good conscience, or faith, continue to vote for swollen government or status quo policies and wasteful spending.'

"To change that he, along with the Libertarian Party, look to offer more freedom of choice, individual and property rights and liberty. Long-time platforms of the party include seeing all individuals and businesses keep more of the money they earn along with having more private options to compete with government run entities....

"There are three main concerns coming into the June 7 election that Swift hopes to change: hydro rates, healthcare and jobs.

"To help improve hydro rates, Libertarians look to repeal the Green Energy Act, eliminate time-of-use billing, remove subsidized power from the grid and end, what Swift says are,
'discriminatory delivery charges which are currently crushing rural residents.'

"For jobs, Swift says he would also repeal 'the job-killing' carbon tax, end corporate taxation outright save for HST and end corporate welfare by eliminating subsidized grants and loans for corporations.

"Libertarians also seek to have more private healthcare options to compete along side government entities. With offering more choice, they believe that this would bring costs and waiting times down while strengthen the economy. They would also offer an average per-person healthcare funding, which is attached to the individual and not OHIP, while giving people the freedom of choice to switch between the two by giving OHIP 90-days notice."

"The Libertarians are hosting a pub night at Charles Dickens in Woodstock ... on April 10 7-10 p.m. ... and those interested or who have any questions are welcome to attend."
