Talk:Freedom Party of Ontario

Merge

Since no one's said anything one way or another about the proposed merge from Unparty, I went ahead and brought that section here, under History:1980-1984. STGM 21:37, 21 June 2006 (UTC)

False information?

It isnt defamatory if its true. Homey 16:24, 15 May 2006 (UTC)

I have to agree with Homey on this. If it's verified and cited, then leave it be. Ardenn 00:52, 16 May 2006 (UTC)

Wikipedia is not a sopabox or propaganda machine. We report accurate information, not just what you want others to see. Ardenn 00:54, 16 May 2006 (UTC)

For my part, I'm not entirely certain what the anon is complaining about. CJCurrie 01:49, 16 May 2006 (UTC)

I think he's complaining that there's info unflattering to his party in there, and he's trying to say it's not attributed to them. Ardenn 01:59, 16 May 2006 (UTC)

I left a note on the anon user's talk page about making legal threats. Ardenn 23:14, 16 May 2006 (UTC)

From the archives

The reintroduction of the removed text seems to have been done very well. Thanks so much for this work, CJCurrie. I removed a small section that didn't seem to relate well to the title, but left all the rest as is. We'll see what the reaction to this change is, and if we get any more mail. But I think that this has done just what's needed - added well sourced information back in a careful and non-biased way. -- sannse (talk) 20:47, 1 March 2006 (UTC)

Sannse was referring to my revised version of the text, which is essentially the same the current version (expect for the missing Paul Blair reference). Are there any further updates? CJCurrie 00:03, 5 July 2006 (UTC)

I still don't see the relevance of much of the "Freedom of Speech issues" section, but I'm on holiday soon so I won't remove it again. Physchim62 (talk) 08:30, 7 July 2006 (UTC)

Founding of the Unparty and its major platform plank

I have edited the sentence regarding the founders and the founding reasons for the Unparty. I have also added a statement about the major platform of the Unparty at that time. Since I was heavily involved in both the OLP and the LPC during 1977-1980, and actually the immediate reason for its founding, I am as authoritative a source for this information as is likely to be found at this time (Mary Lou Gutscher can also be asked for her opinion about my edit). There simply are no available citations for this sort of thing, since there was no Internet in those days and most discussion was either by word of mouth, personally or by phone and many personal records have been lost.
