Former Postmedia columnist Sabrina Maddeaux is the latest media personality saying she wants to run as a candidate for the Conservatives ahead of the next federal election.
“I am proud to be from Richmond Hill, but it’s also sadly a place where I may never be able to afford to own a home of my own,” she says. “Like many millennials, I was locked out of home ownership after prices more than doubled in eight years under Trudeau’s watch. It shouldn’t be a luxury to raise a family in the community you grew up in.”
Other notable media personalities have joined the Conservatives over the past year.
Former journalist and radio host for Bell Media, Jamil Jivani, made a public announcement last April expressing his intention to seek the Conservative party nomination for the Durham riding in Ontario following former MP Erin O'Tooles’ decision not to seek reelection.
Mr. Gunn had declared his intention to run for the nomination in September, saying he was motivated by his observations of the declining living standards in Canada. He highlighted key concerns such as health care, public safety, and rising living costs.
He gained recognition for his vocal stance on social media against public health measures, advocating against lockdowns and mask mandates while supporting targeted interventions directed at those most vulnerable.
