Oliver Parker introducing himself.
Oliver Parker is seeking the provincial Liberal nomination for the Burlington seat at Queen’s Park.
He has been busy, taking his team of people through the streets of the city and holding his first community event at the Black Bull last Monday.
Parker has been vetted by the Liberal Party honchoes who review every candidate before they are validated. All too often a potential candidate has some baggage that comes out during the election. Parker cleared that barrier.

He doesn’t say much about what kind of legislator he would be – his focus is one getting his name and face in front of as many people as possible
Most are expecting the Premier to visit the lieutenant governor, Edith Dumont, and ask her to call an election; sometime in the New Year seems to be the date this is expected to happen – but in the world of politics – nothing is ever certain – just look south and recall how that event went.
Parker directs people to his website (VoteforOliver.ca) where they can become a member of the Burlington Liberal party – which allows them to vote for the person that will become the candidate.
There is one other candidate seeking the Liberal nomination.
The Progressive Conservatives will also be seeking a candidate; Natalie Pierre advised the Premier that she would not be running in the next election/
