	Joe Volpe - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Volpe supported Paul Martin's bid for the Liberal Party leadership in 1990, and was for many years a leading Martin supporter in Toronto.

		Volpe's campaign ran into controversy when it was disclosed that the campaign had received 20 separate contributions of $5,400 from five executives of drug manufacturer Apotex Inc. and each of their wives and children.

		As I and many others have written, Joe Volpe's candidacy for the Liberal leadership appears to have received a financial shot from Apotex executives and their children.
		As an update, it appears that the Liberal Party is not planning to investigate these allegations, as it is apparently perfectly normal for children to save their nickels and hundreds and hand them over by the chocolate-stained fistfulls to their local Liberal riding committees.

		The NDP hopeful in Toronto’s Eglinton-Lawrence riding is hoping to unseat veteran Liberal MP Joe Volpe, who has represented the district since 1988 and has served as minister of human resources and skills development since December, when he was asked by Prime Minister Paul Martin to be the lead minister for Ontario.
		Volpe, 56, an Italian-born former educator who was raised in Jewish neighbourhoods in Toronto, won the riding handily in the 2000 election with 60 per cent of the vote.
		Volpe believes the top issue in this election, simply, is “who will be Canada’s prime minister.” Despite media reports indicating depressed support for Martin, Volpe said that while campaigning, he has found, “without a doubt, overwhelming” support for the Liberal leader.

		Volpe’s voice is most true when he’s sharing the history of his two families: his immediate family of Italian immigrants and the extended family of artists and craftsmen at the Met.
		Volpe clearly admires, but does not like, Jonathan Miller, who is disparaged as “the world’s expert on everything” and whose “neurological” argument against the subtitles now scrawling on the backs of Met chairs is aggressively mocked.
		Volpe wonders if one of the city’s most vibrant artistic institutions will survive with an aging audience that increasingly prefers to buy tickets on the night of a performance instead of subscribing.

		Volpe also wants to overhaul the way Canada's immigration system operates to change it from a passive, response-oriented system to one that is flexible, proactive and actively recruits people with skills that are in short supply in Canada.
		To Volpe, the ideal immigrant to Canada is someone with ambition, industry and skill - and skill isn't necessarily defined by a university degree.
		However, Volpe admitted one of the hurdles he faces in his ambition to overhaul Canada's immigration system is the current backlog of about 700,000 applications in a variety of categories to enter Canada.
