The federal Sudbury riding has a candidate representing the People's Party of Canada (PPC). Colette Methé, a retired high-school teacher, is listed on the official PPC webpage to represent the party for the September 20 general election.
Methé's profile describes her as a person who was always passionate about her career and influenced many of her students to pursue careers in the field of science.
Born and raised in Sudbury, the profile also describes Methé as one who holds Canadian values close to her heart, which is why she decided to enter the world of politics.
The PPC describes itself as the party that brings together common sense, populism, classical conservatism, and libertarianism to create solutions adapted for the challenges of the 21st century. The party leader is Maxime Bernier, who is a former Conservative cabinet minister from the Stephen Harper government.
Methé, having worked with youth her entire career, said she recognizes the importance and impact a good leader can have on our younger generation. The PPC profile said Methé is dedicated, hard working and displays continuous efforts towards causes that affect her community
Methé is the second PPC candidate to be announced for the wider Sudbury area. Earlier, the party revealed that long-time mining company employee David Hobbs would be representing the party as the official candidate for the Nickel Belt riding.
