Being a parent has helped him understand the different needs and abilities children have and is important to how he sees the world.

In Larry’s free time, he loves to spend time at the cottage, fishing, hunting, and cycling. He believes in keeping active for health reasons, but doesn’t care much for professional sports. Larry also loves to build bikes and collects toys from the 50’s and 60’s.

Larry is an opinionated man who holds very conservative views and is not afraid to offer his opinion. Larry has strong views about immigration; he believes that if one moves to Canada, they should implement the views and traditions of the west, and if you mess up, you should be sent back to the country in which you were born. He believes that Canada has a responsibility to help the indigenous community for what they did for the settlers, and upholds that Canadians are living in the best country in the world.
