Chamber of Commerce Goderich All Candidates Debate
September 25, 2019 - Opening Speech
My name is Kevin Klerks and I am the candidate for the People’s Party of Canada here in Huron-Bruce.
I was born and raised in Bruce County in the small town of Chesley, Ontario.
I lived in town right across from a farm, the community center and my high school.
I walked to school every day, I played hide and seek and tag with my friends and always made it home when the streetlights came on.
My high school had a total of 350 students, most of them bused in from farms surrounding our community. My grade 12 graduating class was somewhere around 200 students. It’s a good thing we had a big stage.
And I am proud to be raised in, what I believe to be the most beautiful part of south-western Ontario.
I have been in retail now for over 30 years. I have owned a bookstore, managed a team of people and dragged in carts of flowers during the pouring rain.
I have lived and worked in Nunavut, Alberta, throughout this area and even in Ohio.
I currently live near Tiverton in the hamlet of Inverhuron and commute to Port Elgin every day for work. I am not looking forward to winter.
I stand for freedom, and fairness, respect and personal responsibility.
I stand for what I support not what I oppose. I am a proud Canadian.
I got involved in the grassroots People’s Party of Canada because I agree with the platform, it appeals to my traditional conservative rural small town roots but doesn’t ignore the fact there is a big world out there just beyond the lake.
If something I say tonight appeals to you then you need to consider becoming a member and supporter of the People’s Party of Canada too.
Thank you.
