The Freedom Party of Ontario is a political party in Ontario, Canada. The party ran twenty-four candidates in the 2003 provincial election. Information about these candidates may be found on this page. Wally Dove (Brampton Centre) Full name is Wallace Maxwell Raymond Dove. Dove is a former Certified General Accountant who had his license revoked by the Certified General Accountants of Ontario for his promotion of unlawful detax schemes. He now has an injunction against him prohibiting him from continuing to attempt to use his previous CGA credentials. Formerly a tax auditor with the Canada Customs and Revenue Agency. Now a member of Canada's small "Tax Refusal" (or DeTax) movement, members of which refuse to pay income tax, claiming that such taxation is illegal under Canadian law (very few people, and no court authorities, accept the arguments of this group). Dove is an ally and frequent collaborator of Daniel Lavigne, who has promoted the "Tax Refusal" position extensively on Canadian political newsgroups. In 2000, Dove criticized bankers for many of the world's ills. Was arrested for tax evasion in 2004 after claiming false losses in a partnership. Attempted to have the case dismissed, on the grounds that no legal income tax act exists in Canada. This objection was dismissed by the presiding judge. Received 356 votes, finishing fifth in a field of five candidates. The winner was Linda Jeffrey of the Ontario Liberal Party. John G. Purdy (Brampton West—Mississauga) Purdy is a computer consultant, and has described himself as a part-time poet and composer (Globe and Mail, 20 December 1999). He has written numerous letters to Canada's major newspapers on a variety of issues. In 2000, he wrote a letter to the National Post complaining of State Capitalism in Canada (National Post, 3 April 2000). He has also written that the right of businesses to profit is "fundamental and inalienable" (Toronto Star, 29 March 2000). In 2002, he accused Canada's business community of not being sufficiently supportive of free enterprise (National Post, 22 July 2002). He has also written a defence of pornography as free expression (National Post, 25 March 2000). He voted for the Progressive Conservative Party in the 1995 general election, and subsequently argued that the PCs more closely approximated his views than did the other major parties (Globe and Mail, 8 August 1997). His chief financial officer in 2003 was Paul Blair, another Freedom Party candidate. He
