Millson teamed up with president of Southwestern Manufacturing Vince Schiller and VP Mike Mitchell to found Great Lakes Energy, which builds and owns solar installations across Ontario, in 2009. He is currently its president. He was suggested as a candidate for the 2010 election, but said he was too busy. In 2011, Millson was suggested as a possible replacement for Windsor West Member of Provincial Parliament Sandra Pupatello. Although Millson did not confirm that he would be running, he said he was "flattered" that people thought he would be a good candidate. It has been rumoured that Pupatello would be backing him. On September 4, 2014, Millson announced he would be a candidate for Mayor of Windsor in the municipal election to be held October 27, 2014.〔http://blogs.windsorstar.com/news/former-mayor-john-millson-enters-windsors-leadership-race〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「John Millson (Canadian politician)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
