Biographie
soumis par le candidat ou son équipe
Nathan Colquhoun is an independent candidate for MPP in Sarnia-Lambton, focused on people over parties. With a background in social services, leadership, and strategy, he fights for workers, public services, and real accountability, putting local needs before party politics.
I believe politics should be about people, not parties—and right now, Sarnia-Lambton is being left behind by a system that puts political loyalty before real representation. My background is in social services, organizational leadership, and strategic planning. I’ve built and sustained businesses, managed multi-million dollar budgets, and worked hands-on in community organizations. Through that work, I’ve learned that real leadership isn’t about power—it’s about listening, standing up for what matters, and refusing to accept “that’s just the way things are.” I support workers over corporations, public services over privatization, and accountability over political theatre. I believe in putting local needs before party agendas, making decisions that actually reflect the people who live here—not what’s dictated from Toronto. I’m not a career politician. I’m not looking for a party job. I’m running because Sarnia-Lambton deserves better than being an afterthought in Queen’s Park. If elected, I won’t be another name in a party roll call. I’ll be an independent voice fighting for real solutions that work for us.
