It is an honour to be the People’s Party of Canada candidate for the district of Chilliwack-Hope. I worked for the Federal Government for 25 years in the Correctional Service of Canada as a Correctional Program Officer. I have enjoyed working with inmates in the institutions for twenty years of my career and helping the men to make changes in their lives, in order to reduce recidivism and help them become contributing members of society. For the past 9 years of my career in the federal public service, I facilitated staff training for other government agencies with the Joint Learning Program (JLP), with the focus being on Mental Health awareness and discussions. In 2016, I was awarded the Exemplary Service Award. I recently retired from the Federal Public Service in March 2022. I have chosen to be part of the People’s Party in Canada to be a voice for people and to take a stand for our Constitutional rights. My desire is to represent the constituents of Chilliwack and Hope and bring forward local issues to the federal level. I believe in the vision Maxime Bernier has for this country and I am honoured to stand with him to offer the constituents of this area a voice of positive change and one that demonstrates the necessity of freedom, respect, fairness and responsibility.

It is an honour and a privilege to be announced as The Peoples Party of Canada candidate for the federal electoral district of Mission-Matsqui-Abbotsford. Born in Nova Scotia, I was raised here in BC for most of my life. Graduating in 1979, I served in the Canadian Armed Forces (Naval Division) until Honourably Discharged. I am a hard-working, tax-paying, law-abiding, blue-collar worker who's had enough of being taken advantage of by those whom we believed were supposed to do what best for their district. Following four decades of working and volunteering in countless opportunities, I have acquired effective interpersonal and communication, analytical and decision-making, planning and organizational, and administrative and financial skills. I believe that the political system in Canada is broken and is in need of a complete overhaul. Our federally funded institutions are out of touch and out of control. The established political parties no longer serve the constituents of their respective districts. Instead parties serve those who offer financial graft. Canada is on a razors edge from either free falling into oblivion or rising back up as a nation of hope, opportunity and freedom. This future is yet to be determined by the people of Canada.
