Aaron Gunn
Aaron Gunn MP (born 1989 or 1990) is a Canadian politician and filmmaker. A member of the Conservative Party, he has served as the Member of Parliament (MP) for North Island—Powell River since the 2025 federal election.
Gunn's campaign drew national attention due to controversy over his remarks on residential schools and Indigenous reconciliation, which were condemned by the British Columbia's First Nations Leadership Council and other indigenous groups. In 2022, he had previously sought the leadership of the British Columbia (BC) Liberal Party, but was disqualified.
Gunn grew up in Greater Victoria, and became interested in filmmaking as a teenager. He earned a Bachelor of Commerce from the University of Victoria and served in the 5th (British Columbia) Field Artillery Regiment of the Canadian Army Reserve.
After university, Gunn worked for the Canadian Taxpayers Federation, where he developed his communication skills. He then worked for conservative organization Canada Proud, producing about 200 two-minute videos on political topics.
Aaron Gunn has been producing both short- and long-form videos since 2017. His documentary series, Politics Explained, has amassed millions of views across Facebook and YouTube, with four seasons available to watch online.
As a result of consistent content on social media, Gunn is among the most followed political figures in Western Canada, with 120,000 followers on Facebook and 100,000 subscribers on YouTube.
Gunn’s filmmaking career grew to significant prominence in 2022, when he released Vancouver Is Dying, an hour-long documentary that explores issues including crime, homelessness and the overdose crisis. Published on the heels of the 2022 Vancouver municipal election, the movie garnered over two million views on YouTube in just a few weeks.
Some analyses have speculated that the film played a pivotal role in then-mayor Kennedy Stewart losing the election. Stewart himself validated this speculation, crediting Gunn’s work for his loss. Critics say the film misrepresents addiction policy and contributes to the stigmatization of marginalized populations. The film presently sits at 4.5 million views on YouTube.
