Early life and career

[edit | edit source]

Bruce Fanjoy was born c. 1964[1] in Toronto, Ontario, but grew up in Saint John, New Brunswick, with both of his parents having been from there. His family lived in the Saint John neighbourhood of Millidgeville where Fanjoy attended elementary school, after which they moved to Fredericton after Fanjoy's father, Emery Fanjoy, took a secretary position for the government. Fanjoy and his family later moved to Halifax, Nova Scotia.[2][3] Fanjoy has a Bachelor of Commerce (BComm) from Dalhousie University and an Master of Business Administration (MBA) from Saint Mary's University.[4] He worked in business and marketing, including as director of marketing at Deloitte,[5] before focusing on being a parent and turning to volunteer roles.[6]

Fanjoy was elected MP for Carleton in the 2025 Canadian federal election, unseating Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre, who had held the riding seven times since the 2004 Canadian federal election.[6] The election in Carleton was targeted by the activist group Longest Ballot Committee, which managed to get 91 candidates on the ballot.[7] Despite this, Fanjoy received more than 50% of the votes in Carleton.[6][8]

Personal life

[edit | edit source]

Fanjoy resides in a house that he built in Ottawa's Manotick community.[6] He has two children.[9] Fanjoy's uncle, Harold Fanjoy, was a Progressive Conservative Member of the Legislative Assembly of New Brunswick (MLA) from 1974 to 1987.[2] Fanjoy and incumbent Fredericton—Oromocto Liberal MP David Myles are third cousins through their shared great-great-grandparents.[10]
