Sam Apelbaum

Sam Apelbaum is a politician in Ontario, Canada. A lawyer[1] and real estate agent, he was leader of the Ontario Libertarian Party from 1996 to 2011.[2][3]

Like many other members of the Libertarian Party, Apelbaum believes in reducing government participation in education and healthcare and widespread taxation reform,[4] and criticized the Progressive Conservative government of Mike Harris as being too statist in its policies.

Apelbaum stabilized the struggling party's finances,[5] but failed to make a significant impression with the general voting public.[6]
