Tim Hudak Welcomes Martin Abell as Ontario PC Candidate for Toronto Centre


News

Ontario PC Leader Tim Hudak congratulated Martin Abell on his nomination as the Party’s official candidate for Toronto Centre. Hudak thanked Abell for his commitment to bringing a PC Government to Queen’s Park that will deliver a plan to provide real relief to families, get government focused on the basics and make private sector job creation a priority.

Abell said Toronto families who are working harder, but seeing less in their budgets because of the McGuinty Liberals’ tax hikes and expensive energy experiments, deserve a government that will understand and share their priorities.

Abell is a small business entrepreneur in food, farming and property management. Among Abell’s community volunteer activities, he is proud to support youth at risk in Toronto as a trustee of the E.W. Bickell Foundation.
