Jonathan Gray
Jonathan has been involved with the Canadian Party of Quebec since 2022. In the previous provincial election, he ran in the riding of Robert-Baldwin in the West Island, where he garnered more than 4% of the vote with a new party that was officially registered only three months before the election. This was a strong indication that voters who knew the party wanted fresh and honest leadership. Jonathan has a background in Environmental Sciences and a strong affinity for responsible environmental protections while also recognizing the need for economic development. He is also concerned with the state of education in Quebec, including laws that disadvantage the English school system. The condition of schools and the curriculum taught are topics of great concern to him. Jonathan is currently employed as a high school teacher of science and technology in Chomedey, Laval. He also manages a local green club and community garden with more than 25 active residents and students. Jonathan has sat on multiple boards, including the Laval Junior’s School Board and teacher councils, and currently serves as a sector director with the Laval Teachers’ Union. He is running as a candidate in the riding of Chomedey and believes voters should choose the honest and fair leadership offered by the Canadian Party of Quebec.

Pontiac
Will Twolan
Will Twolan is the Canadian Party of Quebec candidate for Pontiac. Having worked on provincial, federal, and municipal election campaigns, Will has built experience in political communications, governance, and public service. He previously represented the Canadian Party of Quebec in Pontiac during the 2022 Quebec election. Will’s roots run deep across the Pontiac and the Outaouais, from Allumette Island to Aylmer. His family has lived, farmed, and served in municipal roles throughout the region for generations. He has fond memories of summers at The Fort (Fort William) and beach days at Parc des Cèdres in Aylmer. With both anglophone and francophone family roots, Will has a personal connection to the region’s rich history and diverse communities. His family operated a farm in the Pontiac until 2008, which was featured in CBC’s Finding the Avro Arrow. Will has also served in ex officio roles on academic boards at D’Arcy McGee High School and Cégep Heritage College, gaining experience in institutional governance and community representation. He holds a DEC in Social Science from Cégep Heritage College and a Joint Honours Bachelor in Communication and Political Science from the University of Ottawa. He is currently pursuing a Master of Communication at the University of Ottawa. Will is a committed federalist who believes in a strong and united Canada. He firmly opposes separatism, nationalism, and regionalism, which he believes divide citizens, encourage identity politics, and isolate Quebec from the rest of the country. He believes Quebec has already lost too many years to governments that have placed separatist and nationalist agendas ahead of economic stability, investment, national unity, and the rights of citizens. Will also believes no elected representative should take their riding or its voters for granted. Pontiac deserves an MNA who will defend the rights of its citizens, challenge laws that weaken Charter protections, and place the interests of the riding ahead of party convenience. He believes governments must uphold the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, not treat Charter rights as optional. Will strongly opposes the routine use of the notwithstanding clause to shield governments from accountability and override the fundamental rights of citizens.
