From Ottawa to Northern Ontario — Can CPC Candidate Garry Keller Flip the Riding?

In this episode of Echo Essentials, we speak with Garry Keller, Conservative Party of Canada candidate for Nipissing–Timiskaming, about his rise from working behind the scenes on Parliament Hill to running for office in his adopted hometown. Keller addresses the hot-button issues of the 2025 federal election—from housing and addiction treatment, to firearm legislation, natural resource development, and Canada’s role in supporting Ukraine.

We also dig into his stance on minority vs. majority governments, electoral reform, and whether Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre is really Canada’s “mini Trump.”

Whether you’re a Conservative supporter, undecided voter, or just trying to understand the local dynamics of this high-stakes federal election, this conversation is one you won’t want to miss.
