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]
