Jonathan Aceituno-Caicedo

For: Co-Leader; Party President; Chief Liaison / Partnerships Officer


I'm a visionary with a strong desire to live in a better world, in a better Canada. This is strongly motivated by anger at the injustices we suffer at the hands of the incompetent and apathetic. I am a strong believer that we are in a Class war, and need to unite within our communities to reaffirm our democratic power. We are not as powerless as we think, and I want to help guide power back into our hands. Everything is connected to something, and thus decisions we make in certain aspects, will affect those in others. Thus, I believe we as a community should unite and fight to protect our environment, and our rights as human beings.

I am currently working as a provincial employee, as a Correctional Officer in the province of Ontario, and have a front row seat to how power and apathy influence people - with this in mind, I have a direct idea in what type of leadership I would like to bring to the table, and I would be honored if you felt confident in my ability to bring that to fruition.

I have visions for the direction that the RPC should and can go. A party with the willingness to work with others regardless of political affiliation, so long as they agree with :

  1. Food, Water, Health Care, Shelter should all be accessible and affordable, and should be protected as our human rights.
  2. The need for electoral reform, and 
  3. The wealthy and ultra wealthy need to pay their fair share of taxes.

I will work tirelessly to have the RPC be the vehicle to drive our revolutionary ideas to the forefront of the political sphere, with the courage to denounce and call out bad agents such as Israel's genocide, and the United States attack on our sovereignty - regardless of business relations. We will be the moral party that is founded upon Maslow's Hierarchy of needs, with a focus on human rights, and being a party of and for the working person.

In my heart of hearts, I desire nothing more than to fight for what we deserve. We deserve to live and thrive, not struggle and survive. We deserve to be able to walk with our heads held high in a dignified manner, in spite of the dollar value that is arbitrarily assigned to you and the value of your labor. You are more than minimum wage. You are more than a cog in this machine.

I want to empower you and all other Canadians, I want to remind you that we are alive, and demand that this is recognized and acknowledged via provisions to support quality of life for all Canadians.

We are in a Class war, where the haves are continuously taking from us, while lying to our faces, saying that this is in our best interest, enough I say. This abuse has gone on for far too long, and I am tired of the cyclic repetition of toothless politicians promising the world and falling short, or being gutless and not calling them out on their shit.

I promise I will tirelessly fight for you, because I'm an idiot that believes in what is right. I'm not a career politician, I just want to relax with my dog, and live a quiet life out on a farm in the mountains. But I can't, because life is too expensive, and I'm too frustrated to continue to do nothing about it.

I'm an angry idiot that wants a better world for myself, and that includes making the world a better place for all of you too. And where else to start but in Canada. So here I am, throwing my hat in the ring. Annoyed that all these things that can be solved, are being twisted by chicken shit politicians that are concerned with lining their own pockets. I'm too stupid to be corrupt, because I'd rather something be done right, than done for profit.

So, please, believe in me, believe in my idiocy.

RPC will be the vehicle that we will use to make our demands heard, and we will find partners to help make this happen!

I will work with you and your ideas to find partnerships with other individuals, groups or organizations that can help bring forward the revolution we wish to see!

Joe Domshy

For: Co-Leader


I am a proud Canadian who grew up wondering why we paid a government to protect a select few people from the work of millions. With a strong sense of self-sufficiency but an ingrained need to contribute to a greater community, I feel I'm the picture of a democratic socialist.

I believe I bring a unique perspective to the party in my upbringing as a rural resident of Alberta, my livelihood having depended on both green technology and the fossil fuel industry at various points in my career path, and my residence in a very politically active community despite its rural location. I truly believe I can leverage my experiences to help the RPC be a force for cooperation across the nation.

Kevin Favron

For: Co-Leader; Party President


Canadian Veteran father and ready to help be part of the revolution.

Jamie Hari

For: Party President; Chief Liaison / Partnerships Officer


I got into politics for my son's future. History has shown us where our current path leads us: poverty, fascism, and war. For his sake, and his entire generation, we need revolutionary new policies from a party comprised of those most affected by the broken system.

Whomever is elected interim Party President will need to hit the ground running to organize the party for Inaugural Caucus and registration with Elections Canada later this year. 

I've been operating in this capacity for the RPC to date and can use these years of experience and my established connections to bring everything together for a successful launch!

To launch a federal political party from scratch with with no money, no brand power, and no political power requires partners - a lot of them.

I have decades of professional experience building and managing critical partnerships for private and public sector organizations big and small - and I can bring that knowledge to this role. 

This has been a big focus of my work for the RPC to date. I have personally established connections for the RPC with more than a hundred organizations and individuals including:

  • Federal Parties
  • Provincial Parties
  • Municipal Politicians
  • NGOs
  • Activists
  • Senators
  • Journalists
  • Influencers

If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together. - Proverb

Matthieu Labelle-Tassé

For: Co-Leader


French speaker in Quebec and a true leftist running on project-based policies.

Public-based options are the best.

Jey

For: Co-Leader


I am 100% policy change and 75% debate bro. Bernie is still my hero. I am an altruist at heart, and consider myself a Progressive.

I love policy and would like to help shape the RPC policy.

Clo Marie

For: Co-Leader


Hi there, my name is Clo Marie!

I'm a caring community member and always do what I can! Maybe you’ve seen me at a local garden, volunteering, or playing my ukulele along the trails.

Studying Law and Society at Laurier has only confirmed my lifelong suspicions-things need to change.

I am running because I care about human rights and social justice; I want to see policies move toward ensuring a good quality of life instead of profits for a select few.

​Have you ever voted for somebody who takes the bus and owns no property? Me neither, and I will keep dreaming! I advocate for people to strategically ‘split their vote’  and vote for another political party if appropriate.

Here at the Revolution Party, we don’t ask you to abandon your previous political affiliations, so please consider getting involved! We have several local and remote positions to fill as we ramp up towards the federal election!
Let’s revitalize this revolution! My name is Clo Marie, and I am running for a co-leader position within the Revolution Party of Canada. Between my experience and passion, I know we can continue building this organization up together!

In addition to running my own campaign as an independent in the 2025 Federal election, I am an experienced community organizer, and regular volunteer with many local social justice oriented organizations. One of my mottos is “Praxis makes close to perfect!”.

To complement my hands-on knowledge, I have almost finished an undergraduate degree in liberal arts, majoring in law with a double minor in human rights and Indigenous studies.

Despite these small accolades, my best strength is my compassion. Having struggled in life with homelessness, economic insecurity, and gender discrimination, (among other things), I offer a considerate and action-oriented perspective.
So let’s get things moving again and vote for Clo Marie!

[Et encore, mais en Français cette fois!]

Revitalisons cette révolution ensemble! Je m’appelle Clo Marie, et je me présente pour un poste de co-chef dedans le Parti De La Révolution du Canada. Avec mes expériences et ma passion, je sais qu’on peut continuer à développer cette organisation ensemble!

En plus de courir comme un indépendante dans l'élection fédérale en 2025, je suis un organisateur communautaire, et souvent je fait du travaille bénévole
avec des organisations locales qui sont axées sur la justice sociale. Un de mes slogans est “Praxis rend presque parfait!”

Pour compléter mes connaissances pratiques, j'ai presque terminé un diplôme de premier cycle en arts libéraux, avec une spécialisation en lois et des mineures en les droits de l'homme et en les études Indigènes.

Malgré ces distinctions, mon talent le plus puissant est ma compassion!Ayant lutté dans la vie avec le sans-abrisme, l'insécurité économique et la discrimination de genre, J'offre une perspective attentionnée et orientée vers l'action.

Alors mettons les rouages en marche et votez pour Clo Marie!

Hunter McMillan

For: Co-Leader


My name is Hunter McMillan, and I’m from Prince Albert, Saskatchewan.

So far in the RPC, most of my work has been with CIVIC, my personal platform building, internal critique, and building connections with like-minded individuals and groups across banners that are solely focused on making real progress for communities and regular people. I honestly initially wasn’t planning on running for co-leader of the RPC. I still work full-time. My thought process this entire time was focused on being a true "Keeper of the Flame" for ideas and for the people those ideas serve. When people started asking me if I was going to run, my first instinct was to brush it off as a simple compliment and to continue focusing on my electoral district. But the more it happened, the more I realized that these were complementary with each other, and the ideas I bring to the table and rework from the past must be taken to the national spotlight so that all of our families can be properly represented.

I'm not a typical politician, and I don't plan on ever being one. It's time politicians finally stopped thinking only about themselves and their next election, and actually fought for the necessary changes to help everyday people. I believe in the whipless nature of this party, and that our priorities are opportunities for future coalitions that actually make necessary systematic change. I'm loud and proud about my roots and my identity as a Saskatchewanian, and I think more Canadians should be loud about theirs in this wonderful mosaic we call home. Canadian identity was built on the prairies. It's time we actually respect the values we claim.

It's time we vote in a mouse to represent Mouseland.

I'm that mouse.
Three prime ministers have represented my riding: Wilfrid Laurier, Mackenzie King, and John Diefenbaker. Prince Albert has been at the centre of Canadian politics before. Laurier held this seat from Quebec without knowing or wanting to represent the people here. That's what Laurentian means to us on the prairies. Not anti-French, not anti-Catholic. It means someone governing over something they don't know and don't even want to represent. In 1945, King lost this seat to the CCF, the same election in which Joshua Haldeman, Elon Musk's grandfather, ran for Social Credit. This riding chose the cooperative movement over both.

And it was someone from these prairies who put it best. Tommy Douglas told a story called Mouseland. The mice keep electing cats, black cats, white cats, spotted cats, even half black, half white. The cats always govern for the cats. One day, a mouse stands up and says, "Why don't we elect a mouse?" and they throw him in jail for being a radical. The big cats in Canada today are the Liberals, the Conservatives, and increasingly the NDP. They all govern for the cats.

It's time we bring forward the values that come from the prairies. The values that brought us grain elevators with our agriculture pools, credit unions that help the struggling farmer and the new family get established without being taken advantage of. Universal health care. These are foundations of prairie identity, Canadian identity. Yet in the modern day, these ideas are being forgotten when they are needed the most. The past sometimes has answers for things that apply today, and more often than not, they need to be modernized to suit the modern day.

What is universal healthcare if it doesn't cover the teeth in your mouth, the eyes in your head, or has a wait time of over half a year for an urgent surgery? What is living on your own means at your farm if you don't have the right to repair that combine harvester come harvest season because you can't access some software? What is contributing your fair share to society when you're paying a higher percentage of your income to taxes than a billionaire is, and you're still worried about getting your pension? What is building your community when you have so much potential in your backyard that could boost your whole region, but the primary people profiting off of it are multinational companies extracting our wealth and our sovereignty?

As co-leader, I bring the cooperative agrarian voice this party needs. Beyond our three priorities, I believe in a national right to repair so that no individual is locked out of their own devices. I believe legal PAL and RPAL holders deserve respect. Canadians should benefit from our own prosperity through sovereign wealth funds, so our kids don't have to watch their future get extracted by multinationals. We need to heavily invest in rail and high speed to better connect communities to viable transport for both goods and passengers. We must connect rural Canadians to basic services through institutions like Canada Post, such as postal banking. We must be an example of human rights worldwide. We must ensure accessible crown-supplied education through all stages of learning and life for every Canadian. I will push for guaranteed livable pensions so our elders don't have to skip meals or visits to their families. We need to hold corporations accountable for directly damaging bioregions and local communities. They hold the burden, not taxpayers, and the money goes back into the communities they damaged. We must lay the foundations for vertical and circular infrastructure that we can maintain and build upon for present and future generations. We should bring the pride of Saskatchewan nationwide and incentivize cooperative ownership as the standard in Canada. These are fights I bring to the table.

Now more than ever, a mouse's voice is needed. Someone willing to fight the Laurentian establishment elite. Someone who will tell the cats. This is Mouseland.



Marwan Yassine Diab

For: Co-Leader


My name is Marwan Yassine Diab. I am a student at Vanier college, and I believe that I should be one of the co-leaders of the party.

I have been a part of this party when there were only three candidates. I saw great potential in this organization, as many of us who joined felt drained and unrepresented by modern Canadian politics. I believed that the left in Canada needed a rebrand. One that is not watered down to seem acceptable. Half measures have only proven to be harmful for the populous and only beneficial for a select few of our society.

----

Bonjour et bonsoir, je m'appelle Marwan Yassine Diab, je suis un étudiant du Cégep Vanier de Montréal et je vous présente ma candidature de chef ainsi que les nombreuses raisons pour lesquelles je me bats politiquement tous les jours. Actuellement, je suis attribué membre CIVIC pour RPC, je questionne et j'enroule les candidats prometteurs. Je me fie à notre équipe et à notre travail. J'ai joint le RPC lorsque nous avions encore seulement 3 candidats. Nous étions petits, mais tout de même j'ai immédiatement compris le potentiel énorme que notre organisation possède. Effectivement, plein de citoyens canadiens continuent de joindre notre parti et de communiquer avec nous puisqu'on est drainé économiquement et moralement. Ignorés par la représentation actuelle des grands partis. Je crois que la gauche canadienne a besoin de se faire entendre pour de vrai. Sans que nos demandes soient ternies jusqu'à l'inutile pour la digestion du centre ou de l'opposition.
For over a year, I have put a lot of time and energy to contribute to the growth of the party and help establish organization. By proposing weekly meetings, we were able to gain ideas from people all over the country, such as policy and networking. I acted as advisor for a lot of policy decisions and different internal party structure. My biggest role in the party is chairing the Committee for Interviewing and Vetting Incoming Candidates (CIVIC,) which simplified the candidacy procedure while also reducing administrative strain. It has allowed the party to grow rapidly without sacrificing standards or diverting resources. I am proud of the team I built, and their hard work.

As party leader, I would begin by restructuring the party to ensure smooth bureaucratic delegation that could prevent bottlenecking, to ensure proper consistent growth. A bottom up structure is needed for our party, we are a grassroot movement afterall. Member participation matters to me. This is not about leadership, this is about the people. I believe we’ll have to work with Volunteer management to keep volunteers busy and gain experience in between elections. Many of our younger members, volunteers and candidates, are active in student circles. The movement is already popular with students, and the formation of a youth wing is urgent, to promote human rights oriented policies, while training future leadership. With experience within a united front, it is necessary to form a coalition and to reach out to other organizations to unite forces or work with them. While chairing for CIVIC, we started reaching out to smaller organizations for their support, and I believe that the party must work on that more.

As party leader, my priorities would be growth, a worker focussed structure, and youth engagement. I believe that this party will grow into something great. Even though we will face challenges, no challenge is too big for the will of the working class. Vote for me, and help the party grow.

Depuis plus d'un an, j'ai entrepris beaucoup d'efforts, de temps et d'énergie pour l'organisation et l'expansion du RPC. Au travers de l'ajout des rendez-vous RPC hebdomadaires et mensuels, nous avons amassé les idées de Canadiens de chaque province, pour nos politiques et notre networking rapide. J'ai été un conseiller très proche pour plusieurs décisions internes et pour la structure de notre parti. En tant que chef de parti, je voudrais absolument restructurer le RPC pour empêcher des instances de "bottlenecking" accidentelles ou planifiées. Nous sommes une organisation du peuple, pour le peuple. Et, nos membres étudiants se rendent compte que nos idées, buts et valeurs sont déjà communs avec plusieurs autres Canadiens étudiants. Nous devons recruter Je garderai nos volontaires occupés pour promouvoir le bien-être dans nos communautés, humaniser nos voisins, et devenir un front uni tout en entraînant nos confrères à se démarquer, pour le succès de tous. Mes priorités seront : l'agrandissement de nos membres engagés par nos valeurs, une structure centrée sur les travailleurs qui sont la colonne de tout ce dont nous bénéficions. Collatéralement je pousserais à trouver un support collectif chez la jeunesse, les étudiants et les écoliers. À travers les cégeps et autres. Nous allons faire face à des enjeux, c'est officiel et garanti, aucune adversité n'est indestructible avec le poids de nos travailleurs et compatriotes. Votez pour moi, et faisons quelque chose de notre parti.
