Make their voices heard.

Harapyn: Your family has always been considered part of the Conservative party, but why Max?

Ford:I believe in his policies, I believe he’s the right leader for this country, for Canadians. I did my research on the parties and I noticed the Liberals and the Conservatives are not much different.
