Not quite there.

For an unknown, or perhaps a non-entity, Jim Hillyer certainly got a lot of media attention. Almost as much as Ruth Ellen Brosseau but since Hillyer is a member of the Contempt Party it's unlikely he'll receive much scrutiny. That's him above, finally speaking to the media, the wife and children stuck off in a corner.

During elxn41 we wrote about him here. Now that he's been elected to Parliament, more information is required.

He was dubbed The Man Who Wasn’t There – Jim Hillyer, a first-time Conservative candidate in the southern Alberta city of Lethbridge. [...]

He earned his moniker from a local newspaper after failing to show up at a pair of debates, repeatedly refusing interview requests and declining to speak to a local blogger who used Twitter to track him down while he was door knocking, an activity he said was more important. (In a video of the encounter posted online, Mr. Hillyer said he couldn’t talk because he had to use the bathroom.) [...]

Protesters gathered outside Mr. Hillyer’s office, pressing him to make a public comment. He declined.

From here.

The perfect Contempt Party backbencher, another MPty suit.

Has Con candidate been here, there or anywhere?

It's a mystery. Contempt Party candidate Jim Hillyer has the standard "Here for you" slogan attached to his campaign material but it appears nobody in Lethbridge can confirm that he has actually been present in his riding during the election.

From here:

"Very few people in Lethbridge have even met him or seen him. "It's kind of bizarre." On Wednesday, criticism of the first-time federal politician ramped up when a local student group questioned Hillyer over his resume. They accuse the Raymond man of emphasizing his graduate education, but not revealing in campaign literature he studied at a non-accredited university.

That school is George Wythe University in Cedar City, Utah, which confirmed Hillyer was granted a master's degree in political economy in 2005 and has studied for a PhD in constitutional law. Hillyer's website and Facebook page note the degrees, but don't name the institution. [...]

Fred Hillyer said in an interview from his home in Stirling [...] "They have
no clue the stature of this man." He defended his brother against accusations of dishonesty, saying Jim Hillyer never claimed the university was accredited, but people simply jumped to conclusions.

He described his brother as someone with a keen interest in politics, dating back to childhood when he proclaimed he wanted to be prime minister. "Every decision he has made in his life has geared him up to this moment," Fred Hillyer said. "He's not an opportunist. This is something he's strived for forever."

Move over SHithead. Here's someone more qualified than you: he's studied constitutional law.

Of which particular country? No one seems to know.
