Frank Klees Interview
This is Jeff Hume standing in for John Laforet. John was unable to attend this interview last minute due to his commitments with the Canadian Cancer Society and their Relay for Life. I stepped in so as to complete our series of candidate interviews as planned. John will be back to posting soon.
Frank Klees is a man of experience. With fourteen years serving as an MPP, experience in the cabinets of both Mike Harris and Ernie Eves, along with years of work in the business sphere, Mr. Klees brings this experience to his campaign and its policies. Combined with this experience is a practical streak tending towards getting elected. In this interview he spoke about staying away from the lightning rod issue of the Human Rights Commission along with his position on handling the HST issue if elected premier, both positions practical and not overly ideological.
Mr. Klees has stressed the importance of winning the next election in order to provide “direction” for Ontario, and in his responses here he elaborates on many of the ways he would seek to do this.

2 Comments »Interview with PC Leadership Candidate Randy Hillier
The single largest impression I got from my time speaking with Randy Hillier and observing him at the debate, both on and off camera was the passion he brings to the issues he champions and his candidacy in general. I observed him truly in his element after the debate as he worked the halls as people exited. Always smiling, frequently laughing with party members, Hillier demonstrated an ease and comfort at connecting with people on a personal level. His sincerity may be his candidacy’s greatest asset.
Randy Hillier’s platform clearly is based on conversations he’s had around kitchen tables, in coffee shops and diners around Ontario. His messaging comes from the heart. He is a candidate that isn’t afraid of controversy and freely says what he thinks. Agree or not with Randy Hillier on policy, all of those following this race can at least recognize his ability to generate real discussion about what the future of the Ontario PC Party should be.
