The party is guided by a charter of principles, and proposes an Ontario charter of rights and freedoms which includes a section on immigration language restrictions.[1] It holds that Ontario is a "sovereign state within the nation of Canada", and seeks to increase provincial autonomy.[2]

In 1978, a benefit concert named "Rock Against Repression" was organised by the punk group Battered Wives with proceeds split between the CCLA and Ontario Libertarian Party.[3]
