Canada Needs Proven Leadership — That’s Why I’m Supporting Mike de Jong

Canada is at a crossroads!

As economic pressures mount, international tensions rise, and faith in government crumbles, we need leaders who have the strength, wisdom, and experience to guide us forward. That’s why I’m throwing my support behind Mike de Jong in the race to represent Abbotsford–South Langley in Ottawa.

This riding isn’t just electing another MP — we’re choosing a voice for our region during one of the most consequential elections in decades, some would say in a lifetime. We need someone who doesn’t require a learning curve. Someone who’s already earned the respect of colleagues and knows how to get results in government.

Mike de Jong is that person.

With years of experience in the BC Legislature — including time as Finance Minister, House Leader, Minister of Forests, and Attorney General — Mike has a record of delivering real results. He balanced budgets, negotiated major trade files, and defended our freedoms when it mattered most. I’ve seen firsthand what competent leadership looks like — and Mike brings that in spades.

What concerns me today is how easily important decisions are being made behind closed doors by party elites in Ottawa. Voters in Abbotsford–South Langley deserve to choose their representative — not have it decided for them.

Mike’s independent candidacy gives us that choice. A serious, capable leader who knows the issues, understands this community, and isn’t beholden to backroom deals.

This election, we need to send someone to Ottawa who won’t just be another name in a caucus — we need someone who can influence outcomes and fight for what matters.

Mike de Jong is ready.

Let’s send real leadership to Ottawa — for Abbotsford, for Langley, and for Canada.
