During the 2005 by-election, Cook regularly attended candidate meetings wearing a plaid flannel jacket, faded blue jeans, and spoke in a deliberately unpolished manner much like TV's Red Green. He criticized "big government", "big unions and "big business" for many of the province's ills, and called for an Ontario Constitution and provincial law enshrining property rights.

Cook also supports citizen's voter recall for elected representatives, argues that MPPs should take a 5% pay cut until the provincial budget is balanced, and favours A referendum (plural: referendums or referenda) or plebiscite is a direct vote in which an entire electorate is asked to either accept or reject a particular proposal.

As a farmer, Cook has also highlighted agricultural issues. He opposes the province's nutrient management act, and has expressed concern that executive decisions by the Chicken Farmers of Ontario in favour of quota purchasing could result in the shutdown of several small farms. He is especially opposed to the province's Greenbelt legislation, and has called for Ontario to adopt a subsidization system of farm support akin to that used in This article describes the Canadian province.
