Brent Monkley (Hamilton Centre)

Philip Sarazen (York South)
Sarazen is a welder, artist and inventor, and has been a frequent candidate for public office. He was once a member of the Communist Party of Canada - Marxist-Leninist, and ran under the party's banner in an Ottawa riding during the 1974 federal election. He placed second at the Quebec Inventor's Competition in 1985, after creating a greenhouse system for apartment balconies. In 1988, he designed a magnetic wallet to hold Canada's newly minted dollar coins. He moved to Toronto later in the same year, and ran for the Green Party of Canada in the 1988 election campaign.

Sarazen was 41 years old in the 1990 provincial campaign, and spoke against Ontario Hydro's plan to construct ten nuclear reactors over the next decade. He argued that the dangers posed by nuclear energy were being ignored by the major parties. He later campaigned for the Metro Toronto Separate School Board in 1991, arguing that students should be taught how culture shapes economy. During the early 1990s, he helped to form "Cobblestone", a theatre company made up of homeless people.

Sarazen designed a vehicle called the "Subtonic Cycle" in 1996, and announced plans to ride it through Bosnia as an absurdist art display. The Globe and Mail described the device as a "rainbow-coloured jungle gym of discarded wrought iron welded into an outlandish Dr. Seuss-like contraption topped by a colossal wire umbrella and powered by a unicycle", adding that "one rider pedals [while] a grab bag of musicians (the Subtonic Monks) ride, playing improvisational rhythms". The Bosnia shows took place in 1997, and the Subtonic Cycle was later displayed at many events in Ontario. Sarazen later created follow-up contraptions called "Zoosse Mobiles", in an apparent homage to Dr. Seuss.

Sarazen became homeless in the early 2000s, and lived in Toronto's "Tent City" for a time. As of November 2006, he lives in Parkdale and designs handmade bicycle racks.
