Todd Hoffman will represent the People’s Party of Canada as their candidate for the riding of Pontiac-Kitigan Zibi. The owner of Brauwerk Hoffman Brewery in Campbell’s Bay, Hoffman is a founding member of the Pontiac’s PPC riding association, and has hosted events there for the party’s leader, Maxime Bernier.

One issue that Hoffman has been vocal about is opposing Canada’s supply management system for dairy and poultry products, and said that he favoured a free market approach.

In regards to the tariffs and trade uncertainty coming from the United States, Hoffman said that in his view, Canada should not be responding with retaliatory tariffs, and instead should adopt a more “defensive approach”.
