Care for the environment

Conservation of renewable and non-renewable resources are needed at the appropriate level for our resources.  CoR favours sustainable development for renewable resources.

We are concerned about water and the CoR party would work to prevent bulk sale of our water to other countries.  In rural Ontario many wells are dry every summer with the water table very low in 1998 - 1999.

CoR deplores the inadequate treatment of waste and sewage and would have the problems addressed

 

Appreciation of our heritage

Confederation of Regions Party believes that the history of Ontario should be taught in schools.

We believe that historical sites and buildings should be protected and maintained.

CoR believes that our heritage should be protected and maintained.  Canadian heritage & traditions should be cherished and promoted, not abolished.

 

Individual freedom and responsibility

CoR values freedom for everyone, all being equal under the law.  At the same time CoR recognizes that with freedom comes responsibility.

 

Responsible parliamentary government

CoR wants the provincial Government to respond to the wishes of the people it represents.  Hence, the call for referenda initiated by the people and binding on the part of government.  

Community problems should be solved locally; the fairest, most effective and cheapest solution.

CoR favours a petition system enabling citizens to initiate province-wide referenda on laws and other issues of concern with the results binding on government.

 

Common law

The Confederation of Regions Party deplores the replacement of our inherited laws by a civil code.

Our laws had developed over thousands of years through Greek, Roman and British Society.  Why should we give up our rights to the whims of a few people.
