Biography
submitted by the candidate or their team
For 25 years he drove a HandyDART van so people with disabilities could get to appointments, work, and family. He helped found the Kitsilano Showers Program, giving homeless neighbors a hot shower, breakfast, clean clothes, and dignity every Saturday for more than 20 years.
In 2011 he helped lead the Fight HST campaign—the first time British Columbians used a citizen vote to repeal a law and put money back in families’ pockets. He also spent 20 years building a small business that supported local artists and shops.
Now Salvatore is running with OneBC in Vancouver–South Granville to be the people’s voice: lower costs, real help for those who need it, and prosperity for all—not just those already in power.
Reason for running
submitted by the candidate or their team
I am running for OneBC because British Columbia is being held back by high taxes, rising costs, bureaucratic excess, and policies that put ideology ahead of practical results.
Families and businesses are struggling with housing, healthcare wait times, and an economy that is not delivering the opportunity it should.
Too many decisions in Victoria are driven by special interests and political correctness rather than the everyday needs of the people who live and work here.
OneBC offers a clear alternative: lower taxes so people keep more of what they earn, balanced budgets that stop piling debt on future generations, and a focus on frontline services instead of administration. We will expand private options alongside public healthcare, restore fundamentals in education, support resource development that creates real jobs, and put public safety and common sense first. We believe in equal treatment under the law and in giving every British Columbian—regardless of background—the chance to build a better life through work and initiative.
I am running because I want a province that rewards effort, protects the vulnerable through effective rather than performative policies, and measures success by results: more affordable housing, shorter waits, safer communities, and a stronger economy. This election is a chance to reject the status quo and put British Columbia back on a path of prosperity and accountability. That is the future I am fighting for.
