Get to know Charles Zach, People’s Party of Canada candidate for 2025 federal election

We’re just a couple months removed from the provincial election, and we’re already heading into another one at the federal level.

This comes after new Prime Minister Mark Carney called an early election after winning the vote as the new Liberal Party of Canada Leader.

Milton is being split in half to create two separate ridings this time around. ‘Milton East’ will pair with ‘Halton Hills South’ for one of them, and the other will see ‘Milton West’ pair with ‘Burlington North’. Read more on the new ridings here.

The first of our local candidates to be interviewed is Charles Zach. He’s representing the People’s Party of Canada in the Burlington North-Milton West riding.

INT – First things first, give me an elevator pitch on your platform/campaign.

INT – Affordability is an ongoing issue for Miltonians. What can the federal government do to improve the cost of living – whether it’s housing, groceries – or anything else?

INT – The tariffs are on everyone’s mind. Everyone’s trying their best to buy local – buy Canadian. How should Canada handle the ongoing trade war?

INT – The federal government has a big role in environmental issues. Locally, we have two prominent ones that keep coming up: the CN Intermodal Hub and the Campbellville Quarry. Do you, and the party, plan on helping residents fight back against these concerns?

INT – Before I let you go, any other issues you’d like to discuss? Any topics you want to address that we haven’t gone over?
