Todd Hoffman to represent the PPC in Pontiac

Local brewer Todd Hoffman will be the candidate for the People’s Party of Canada in the riding of Pontiac-Kitigan Zibi in the upcoming federal election.

The party, started in 2018 by former Conservative MP and leadership candidate Maxime Bernier, was represented in Pontiac in the last election by David Bruce Gottfred, and received 2,813 votes or 4.5%.

Hoffman, the owner of Brauwerk Hoffman Brewery in Campbell’s Bay, has lived in the Pontiac region since the early 1980s. He said that his interest in politics stemmed from being an entrepreneur and navigating government regulations.

Hoffman said that one of his priorities is eliminating interprovincial trade barriers, something he’s intimately familiar with as an alcohol producer in a border region.
