About this episode
Former long-time provincial cabinet minister Mike de Jong will run as an independent in this federal Election. It comes after the federal Conservative party rejected his bid to run in Abbotsford-South Langley - choosing 25-year-old blueberry farmer and university student Sukhman Gill instead. According to de Jong, party staffers declared him not qualified to run for Parliament as a Conservative.
