• In his own words: “I’m a little guy raised in Cape Breton, and I have had, what I think was, a wonderful life in the army. I spent three years in Germany in the army, I spent six months in Cyprus at the headquarters of the United Nations. I’ve travelled to 55 countries. I spent six years in New York helping to represent Canada at the United Nations and chairing a committee from time to time. I ran a strategic studies institute in Toronto, the Pearson Peacekeeping Centre and then I took, what to me was, a real risk and the potential source of great disappointment and I stood in front of the people in District 6 and said, ‘Please elect me’ and they did three times. I’ve had a great run and being the warden is the pinnacle.”
