PC Candidate Indira Bains plans to make a difference in the Etobicoke Lakeshore community.
South Etobicoke resident Indira Bains is running as a candidate for the federal Conservative Party to represent the Etobicoke Lakeshore riding whenever an election is called by the Prime Minister.
Rumors are rampant that Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is expected to drop a writ and call a federal election soon.
The federal Conservatives and New Democrats are jockeying for power and are lining up their candidates to compete against the Liberals whenever there’s a vote.
Bains’ workers have established a website to feature news and updates from her campaign.
“Indira is involved in a number of community causes, including Habitat for Women, Haven on the Queensway, and Toronto Little Free Pantries Project,” according to her campaign material. “She is a strong advocate for public safety, elimination of human trafficking and supporting victims of abuse.”
She plans to be the next MP for Etobicoke Lakeshore “because this election will shape our children’s future. It’s too important to sit on the sidelines.”
Bains was two-years-old when her father emigrated to Canada from India to start a new life. She accompanied her mother and sister to Canada two years later.
She gained solid political experience as Past-President of the Etobicoke-Lakeshore Conservative Association and as a board member on the Etobicoke-Lakeshore Ontario PC Association.
“Indira’s political experience also included working on both provincial and federal campaigns,” according to her literature. “Indira’s political expertise grew as a member of several board committees including fundraising and events-management in the community.”
She will be running against long time Liberal MP James Maloney who was elected in 2015 and sits on more than 10 standing committees and is generally well-known in the area.
The name of the NDP candidate for Etobicoke Lakeshore has not been announced.
