Elvis impersonator makes third bid to win Ontario seat

Dorian Baxter is an Elvis impersonator, an Anglican preacher and a Canadian federal election candidate - it's that simple.

Baxter is making his third bid to enter federal politics in Newmarket-Aurora, the Ontario riding held by Belinda Stronach since 2004.

"In terms of electing an Elvis impersonator into the House of Commons, I have to remind people, Elvis has not left the building. He wants to get into the building - the Parliament building."

The article also states:

"While Baxter is no longer wearing colourful Elvis jumpsuits as he campaigns door to door - he did so in 2004 - he still has the tell-tale pork-chop sideburns Presley sported in Las Vegas during the '70s.

The race four years ago also saw Baxter comb his hair into an Elvis pompadour and incorporate election-themed songs inspired by the King.

Baxter has literally changed his tune this time around."
