A federal election hasn't been called yet, but the local Conservative Riding Association has selected its candidate to run in York South-Weston.Jake Karns, 27, will represent the Conservatives. He will most likely be running against the current longtime Liberal MP Alan Tonks.
Karns, a certified management accountant, was most recently involved locally with his online campaign to stop the expansion of the Ingram transfer station.
He also supports such Conservative policies as the additional GST cut from six to five per cent and the continued granting the $1,200 universal childcare benefit for every child six years and under.
