Leo Demarce, a Conservative Party member and candidate said he loves his country, which is why he wants to be a politician.

“I was modeled to be a good citizen and now at the point in my life I want to serve my community,” said Demarce, who was raised by a firefighter.

Demarce said he chose the Conservative Party because its values and policies closely matched his own. According to Demarce, he believes people should pay their own way and he does not want to force the next generation to take on debt accumulated for them. Demarce said his goal is to bring his community upgrades in infrastructure and build the mega-hospital.

 He would like to encourage voters to look at who is representing different parties across the country.

“In the Conservative Party, you will see that out of the 338 people that are running most of them are guys and girls like myself,” said Demarce. 

According to Demarce, most of the candidates are farmers and small business owners who are active in their community.

He said they aren’t “silver spoon kind of people” but are average and hardworking people.

Demarce owns commercial property and a salon with 25 employees. He also is a business system analyst, and has worked all over Ontario and Michigan in the last 25 years. 

His platform is to target the worst polluters and enforce caps on emission levels. 

“We can bring carbon-capturing technology to countries like the U.S.A, India, Pakistan to China … they are making the great majority of CO2 in the world,” said Demarce. “Canada is close to becoming the leader in CO2 capturing technology and bringing CO2 technology to the rest of the world.”

Demarce said has knocked on 12,000 doors and hears that people are complaining that they are upset with the prime minister and with his behavior. He gets up at 6 a.m. to review emails, runs his business from 6 a.m. to 9 a.m., and then he starts knocking on doors until it’s dark.

“I’m having the time of my life,” said Demarce.
