Paul Calandra parents-Canadian politician, Paul A. Calandra was born on May 13, 1970, in Markham, Ontario, Canada.
At Carleton University, Calandra majored in history and minored in political science. Since he had not yet earned a degree at the time, his 2007 campaign website claim that he had “completed full-time university studies” was contentious.
He revealed that he left school in the early 1990s without finishing his degree and subsequently completed the remaining credits needed to graduate by taking correspondence courses in an interview with WhiStle Radio on September 29, 2015. In November 2008, he graduated with a bachelor’s degree from Carleton.
From 1995 until 2003, Calandra worked in the insurance industry before joining politics. After that, he worked as Steve Gilchrist’s chief of staff in the Mike Harris administration. Steve Gilchrist was the PC MPP for Scarborough East.
