Biography
André is 44, a millwright at a nickel mine near Sudbury, Ontario, and a volunteer firefighter. He is married with three children in French-language schools and grew up Catholic, though he now mostly attends for funerals. Federally he has voted Liberal, NDP and Conservative at different times. His family waited four years for a family doctor, and his eldest can't find an apartment she can afford in town. He backs his union, wants the mines to supply the energy transition, and resents consumer climate policy designed by people who have never driven a winter road at minus 35.
Worldview
Cross-pressured northern independent; public services and good jobs, sceptical of growth targets and of policy written for Toronto.
