CKDR News continues to take an in-depth look at the Federal candidates running in the Kenora riding.
Today we focus on Independent candidate Kelvin Boucher-Chicago.
He readily admits this isn’t his first kick at the can.
“This is my third time (running), My first two (campaigns) were more of an introduction. I had to see how the other parties were represented and how they were articulating themselves into getting elected.”
Boucher-Chicago says one of the reason’s he is running is to bring truth to the process.
“One of the things I’ve noticed is that a lot of them (other candidates and politicians) make promises. In my book, if you don’t come through with your promise you’re lying, you’re lying to the people.”
He says his goal is to buy out “Indian” status cards.
“I’m not lying to the people, I’m just telling them the truth. If you send me to Ottawa, you’re going to save a lot of money. It’s going to be an overnight economy, boom, for all the business people and everyone within the region if my plan goes through.”
He says status cards should be bought out for $80,000 over four years, and that money will go into the Canadian economy.
Boucher-Chicago, who lives in Kenora, is 54-years-old and calls himself an “entrepreneurial” jack of all trades.
