Ep. #217. Erin O'Toole, RCAF Veteran, Member of Parliament, Former Leader of the Conservative Party of Canada

Erin enrolled in the Royal Military College of Canada at 18 and became an officer for the Royal Canadian Air Force at 22. He did basic training in Chilliwack, got his wings in Winnipeg and was then based in Shearwater, Nova Scotia. Erin then spent his twenties flying on search and rescue missions and naval support operations with 423 Squadron. He rose the military ranks to Captain and was awarded both the Canadian Forces Decoration and the Sikorsky Helicopter Rescue Award for rescuing an injured fisherman at sea. Erin’s military service instilled him with the determination to always see a mission through. Mr. O'Toole was very nearly the next Prime Minister of Canada, and continues to serve Canada as a Member of Parliament, and by working with several Veterans organizations.
