Mike Clancy was born in London, Ontario and raised in St. Thomas. He received a degree in religious studies and ethics from the University of Waterloo in the 1970s. Clancy was an employment counsellor with the federal employment and immigration department and its successor, Human Resources Development Canada (HRDC), from 1980 until quitting in 1997. When he left his job, he said that he could not administer its program under terms that he considered "immoral and unethical." He strongly supported government funding for social programs and health care, and criticized both federal and provincial governments for cutting back these services. He ran for the governing New Democratic Party of Ontario in the northern division of Kenora in the 1995 provincial election and expressed concern that the Progressive Conservatives would target the poor and unemployed if they won the election. The Progressive Conservatives did win the election and later introduced massive cuts to social assistance; Clancy said the severity of the cuts was unexpected and produced extreme hardship among poorer people in Kenora. Clancy accused federal parliamentarians Jane Stewart and Robert Nault of using HRDC job creation funds for dubious political goals during the period of Jean Chrétien's government. Stewart rejected Clancy's claims, describing them as "the simple minded agenda of a failed provincial NDP candidate." After leaving HDRC, Clancy moved to Brantford. He considered seeking the New Democratic Party's nomination for the 1999 provincial election, but ultimately did not do so. In 2000, he ran against local Member of Parliament (MP) Jane Stewart as a candidate of the fringe Canadian Action Party. During this period, Clancy was a private advocate for Canadians whose Employment Insurance benefits had been cut off by the federal government; he also accused the government of misusing the private information of many Canadians. Clancy later became active with the Green Party and ran under its banner in the 2003 provincial election. He also sought election to the Brantford city council in 2003 and ran for a regional council position in Waterloo three years later. In the 2006 election, he supported the legalization of marijuana and prostitution. He also called for more police officers and a greater voice for the rural areas around Waterloo. + Electoral record Election Division Party Votes % Place Winner 1995 provincial Kenora New Democratic Party 2,788 16.36 3/3 Frank Miclash, Liberal 2000 federal Brant Canadian Action 447 1.05 6/6 Jane Stewart, Liberal 2003 provincial Brant Green 1,014 2.28 4/5 Dave Levac, Liberal 2003 municipal Brantford Council, Ward Five n/a 245 3.65 6/7 Marguerite Ceschi Smith and John Starkey 2006 municipal Waterloo Regional Council, Councillor n/a 1,553 4.26 5/5 Sean Strickland and Jane Mitchell
