“I am thrilled to have Peter Shurman, the M.P.P. for Thornhill and John Capobianco, a lifelong Conservative, both provincially and federally, as my campaign co-chairs. They are highly respected members of our Party and I cannot think of better people to play key roles in my leadership campaign,” Frank Klees said.

Christine Elliott Joins PC Party of Ontario Leadership Race
Whitby, ON – Christine Elliott, MPP (Whitby-Oshawa) today launched her campaign for the leadership of the Progressive Conservative Party of Ontario in Whitby. Her address highlights the need for leadership rooted in real-life experience, the need to grow the PC Party and attract new support, and for a new confident, forward-looking conservative vision.
“These are extraordinary times,” said Elliott. “The province is in crisis and we’re falling further and further behind. We need a strong, confident and growing Progressive Conservative Party as an alternative to Dalton McGuinty’s failed leadership.”
“We have to become the party that working families identify with their hopes and aspirations,” said Elliott. “So we need a leader who shares and has lived them.”
“My convictions are rooted in and tested by real life experience,” said Elliott. “I draw upon 30 years as a professional businesswoman, 18 years as a mom and 20 years as an advocate for the vulnerable. I believe these are the values and experiences we need to lead the Party and win the next election get Ontario back on track.”
“I believe that we can build a new, enduring majority with a conservative vision that is hopeful, optimistic and confident,” said Elliott. “A vision that can win by articulating clear principles for 2009 and beyond. One which recognizes that it is only through growth and prosperity that we can provide the means to help those less fortunate than ourselves.”
“Yes, we must take the best from the past and always respect our legacy, but it is to the future where we must look,” said Elliott. “We simply cannot replicate old campaigns from the past and expect them to work today.”
“We have to grow our party and connect with Ontarians who share our values but who are not traditional PC voters.”

Consider this:
" Although the Federal Reserve expects unemployment to crest near 8.8 percent, many economists say it will rise above 10 percent and will only begin to ebb after the broader economy is well on the way to recovery — a wrenching forecast for the 13.2 million people in the United States who are currently unemployed.
In all, nearly 16 percent of the people in the United States are now looking for a job, working part-time because they cannot find full-time work, or are out of work and not actively looking, the government said.
“We’re closing in on 25 million people that are underemployed in one way or another,” said Mark Zandi, founder and chief economist of Moody’s Economy.com. “It highlights the incredible breadth of the downturn.”"
Can Canada be far behind?
