Born and raised in Sault Ste. Marie, Oliphant studied Commerce and Finance at the University of Toronto, graduating in 1978, with a Bachelor of Commerce. While at university he rowed on the Men’s Varsity Rowing Crew, was involved in music and student politics. Upon graduating from U of T, he returned to Sault Ste. Marie and worked at Algoma Steel as an accountant in computer systems development. Oliphant lives in Cabbagetown, Toronto with his husband, Marco Fiola, a Professor of Applied Linguistics at Ryerson University. Oliphant married Fiola in 2005, soon after same sex marriage was legalized in Canada. In lieu of wedding gifts, guests were asked to make donations to the Capital Campaign of the 519 Church St. Community Centre, a community centre in the Toronto gay district, and Eglinton St. George’s United Church, the parish where he is the Ministerial team leader. Oliphant also asked local same-sex couples wedded by him to make donation to the 519 rather than paying fees. On May 17, 2008, Oliphant obtained his Doctorate of Ministry (D.Min.) from the Chicago Theological Seminary.

His campaign literature contains no mention of his activities as a gay activist. I wonder why? Surely, it can't be because he believes that one's sex-life is a private matter.
He also makes no mention of his views on immigration. I'll bet that it's because those views are derived from Trudeau and, thus, difficult to sell to the general populace.

Before Trudeau, Canada's immigration policy welcomed people who wished to work and raise a family, while they obeyed the law and paid their taxes.
Post Trudeau, it welcomed some people with grudges and a sense of entitlement. Some Jamaicans came here for the welfare benefits. Some Muslims have arrived with the belief that Canada should modify its culture to accomodate theirs.
