Outremont
François Pilon
Born April 14th, 1956
Place of residence : Côte-des-Neiges, since 1980
In 1986, I decided I would work for my own good. It was the beginning of a new era in my life. I decided to start a business. That's how “Corde à Linge” began in Montreal. Since then, François Pilon is known as Mister Corde à linge.
Thanks to my many contacts with clients (approximately a thousand a year) I began to understand how complex Canadian and global politics are. I've worked hard my whole life and today I have the most valuable of thing: my health. We can't say the same thing about Canada and the whole planet since most of the major government decisions are based on short term interests, for example: City Administrations have to negociate with real estate owners in order to maintain the ecosystems.
I don't believe in the values the conventional partys promote. I don't preach revolution, I'm just an ordinary guy who's really tired of all the scams and double-meaning speeches from politicians.
I could give up and do nothing but I choose to contribute to the necessary improvements towards a better quality of life.
Green Party has long term vision in terms of our role as a society. I strongly approve this mentality.
I believe in the future for I am forever optimistic. My contribution to the Green Party is a way to promote awareness around me. I want people to understand what is at stake. I decided to get involved in the Green Party because the generations before us lend us their planet, and we have to give it back to the next.
François Pilon is the Green Party of Canada's nominated candidate for Outremont.
