I’m a semi-retired actuary after a 38-year career in the life insurance industry. This included a 10-year period as an Appointed Actuary for a medium size company in Oakville Ontario. I’m now currently involved in a start-up.

I’m a voracious reader and learner, having spent thousands of hours learning about economics, history, ethics, theology, science and mathematics.

I was elected leader of the Libertarian Party of Canada in August 2021.

Since 2015, I have run in 5 elections, 3 times at the federal level and twice provincially.

I’m married, father of three adult children, and my wife and I have four grandsons.

I’m running because we need to push back against an ever-increasing government that taxes and regulates all of us too much while assaulting our individual freedoms on a daily basis.

Jacques is the current leader of the Libertarian Party of Canada
