Blair Turner

I will end Liberal soft-on-crime and catch-and-release policies to enhance community safety, introduce a Bring It Home tax cut to help middle-class families save $1,800 annually, and establish a Blue Seal Professional Licensing Standard for certifying doctors and nurses quickly.

Biography

submitted by the candidate or their team
I was born and raised in Ottawa South and have 20 years of experience in frontline uniform policing. I hope to bring a new generation and voice to assist middle-class families in earning a decent paycheque, accessing a family doctor, and feeling safe in their communities.

For nearly two decades, my mission has been to serve and protect the communities in which I live. I understand what it means to put duty before self. I served as an infantry reservist in the Canadian Armed Forces before starting my career in policing. I have been a police officer for almost 20 years, spending 15 of those years on the front lines, and I have worked in various investigative units addressing organized crime, human trafficking, and child exploitation.

I grew up in the South Keys, Greenboro, and Hunt Club areas. I attended St. Luke, St. Marguerite d’Youville, and St. Thomas More elementary schools, followed by St. Patrick’s High School. During my childhood, I played competitive hockey and cherish the memories of my time spent at Brian Kilrea Arena in Canterbury and Jim Durrell Arena. I met my wife here in Ottawa, and we have been married for 16 years. We have two wonderful young children who share my love for hockey.

Public service runs in my family. The last Conservative elected in Ottawa South was my father, the late Barry Turner. He won this riding (formerly Ottawa-Carleton) during Brian Mulroney’s significant sweep in 1984, when I was just a year old. I am determined to emulate my father’s success as part of a new generation with the enthusiasm and passion to help improve our country.

I am proud to be part of a team that understands that the government is elected to help people and put their needs first. My whole career has been spent helping people in need. I look forward to continuing to do that in Parliament and serving Ottawa South and this great nation in a way that puts Canadians first!

Reason for running

submitted by the candidate or their team
Bread-and-butter issues affecting middle-class families: affordability, cost of living, high housing prices, excessive taxes, lack of family doctors, and failure to spend taxpayers’ money wisely. I have a young family; I have the same concerns. Middle-class families deserve more.
