Giuseppe Gori

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Giuseppe Gori is a politician in Ontario, Canada. Since 1997, he has been the leader of the Family Coalition Party, a small, socially conservative organization.

Gori has a Ph.D. in Computer Science from the University of Pisa in Italy (1973). He worked as an Assistant Professor at Pisa for three years, and has also been a visiting professor at the University of Western Ontario. Gori has held positions at IBM, Canada Systems Group and GEAC Computers, and is now the president of Gori Canada Diffusion Inc. He has also published music books for children under the title, "Music You Can Read", promoting a new visual method.

Gori replaced Donald Pennell as leader of the FCP in 1997. Like other members of his party, he is strongly opposed to abortion and gay rights, and has called for the country's divorce laws to be revisited. Gori is also a supporter of proportional representation.

He has campaigned for the Ontario FCP in four provincial elections, but has never sought election to the Canadian House of Commons.
