These are unprecedented times
With a federal election coming soon, there is a sense of urgency to determine who can best lead Canada through very uncertain times and who can best represent the evolving concerns of Lanark-Frontenac. It is important to rise above the noise of misinformation. Get to know your candidates. Do your own research. And, most importantly, exercise your right—and responsibility—to vote.
We encourage you — whatever your political affiliation has been in the past — to come and meet the dynamic Michelle Foxton. Ask questions and learn how she will address our riding’s greatest needs.
“I’m running to be the Member of Parliament for the federal riding of Lanark–Frontenac because I care – it is my home and I want to see it treated fairly and not taken for granted. Our riding deserves a Member of Parliament who actively listens and always has time to sit down with residents and hear their concerns. Lanark–Frontenac deserves more than a part-time, career politician. It deserves someone who cares enough to ask what the needs of residents are and then to fight for them; to give residents the respect and dedication they deserve.” — Michelle Foxton
Michelle was raised in Sydenham, Ontario and has a general law practice in the area. She is no stranger to the campaign trail, having been the federal Liberal candidate for Lanark-Frontenac-Kingston in 2021. She and her husband, Wade Leonard—a high school teacher—both come from families actively involved in municipal politics. Michelle was the youngest representative of Loughborough District to serve on South Frontenac Township Council. She holds a B.A. from Queen’s University and earned her Bachelor of Laws degree from the University of Windsor.
With new boundaries kicking in for 2025, Lanark-Frontenac is a 7,322 square-kilometre rural riding (Kingston is no longer included). This is what Michelle has to say about that:
“Rural ridings like Lanark-Frontenac are the front porches of Canada. They’re where neighbours talk and support one another, where families gather and friends help each other out. They are places where families settle down and towns folk grow old together. They’re places where politicians are one of us and aren’t so busy they can’t stop by for a cup of coffee or a beer.”

“Her responses to questions were intelligent, thoughtful, and respectful. She listened carefully and provided reasonable, direct answers—not political jargon or slogans. It’s clear that she is a consensus builder, not a politician stuck in party rhetoric. She even took notes on good ideas suggested by the people in the room. We truly felt heard.”
