About Jim Bélanger

Jim Bélanger is a lifelong Northern Ontarian and proud Azilda businessman with strong ties to the resource industry and a deep commitment to the people of Sudbury East–Manitoulin–Nickel Belt. Fluent in both English and French, Jim has built a career working across business, infrastructure, and community development—giving him firsthand insight into the unique challenges facing rural and working families in the North.

Jim’s decision to enter politics was driven by one core belief: Canada needs a new direction. With the country facing over $1.2 trillion in debt and $54 billion in annual interest payments, it’s time for common sense leadership that puts people first. 

Jim believes that his role as an MP is to work for the people in everything he does. Jim is not a career politician but someone who understands and believes in the North because he’s lived it, and he’s ready to be a strong, steady voice in Ottawa.
