“Ontario and Canada offered them a ton of opportunity,” Del Duca said of his grandparents’ effect on his political career. I grew up believing… you must be dedicated, sacrifice, and all those other vital qualities.
However, the other side of the contract is that this province, this country, is expected to provide you with genuine opportunities.”
