Candidate for Port Moody-Burquitlam

In their own words

This candidate hasn’t listed a campaign website or social account with the Town. That says nothing about them as a candidate — it just means less of their material is published online for us to summarise.

Where they stand

Every candidate in this race is shown against the same 12 issues, in the same order, whether or not we’ve found something for each one. Why we do it this way.

Healthcare

Will there be a doctor, a hospital, and care when we need it?

Not reviewed yet. Know something?

Housing

Will I be able to afford to live here?

Not reviewed yet. Know something?

Cost of living

Can I afford groceries, hydro and insurance?

Economy & jobs

Will BC's economy create good jobs where I live?

This candidate has spoken about this issue more than once. Each statement is shown with its own source.

Glumac says quantum research investment brings researchers and industry together to create high-quality B.C. jobs.

  • Says quantum research investment brings researchers and industry together for high-quality B.C. jobs
  • Ties the investments to the Look West strategy and North American tech competitiveness
  • Minister-role statement (2026, pre-writ), not campaign material — flagged
“Investing in Canadian quantum research is key to a stronger, more innovative future with real economic opportunities for homegrown talent. These investments bring researchers, industry, communities and governments together to solve big challenges. This is what our Look West strategy is all about: growing the industries that will define tomorrow, creating meaningful, high-quality jobs in B.C., and ensuring we continue to lead and compete in North America's rapidly evolving tech economy.”

Glumac says early-stage demo funding helps B.C. tech firms bridge the gap to commercial success.

  • Says early-stage demo funding helps B.C. tech firms prove solutions and bridge the gap to commercial success
  • Ties the program to the Look West economic strategy
  • Minister-role statement (Sept 2026, pre-writ), not campaign material — flagged
“For B.C. businesses, one of the biggest challenges can be moving an innovative technology from development to commercial success. The Early-Stage Demonstration Call helps companies bridge that gap by providing opportunities to prove their solutions in real-world operating environments, build credibility with customers and investors, and accelerate growth. This type of support is how our government is acting on the commitments we made through our Look West Strategy and will help grow our economy.”
