After working as a parish priest for only a few years, Heap's longest-held job (18 years) was as a labourer in a box factory in Toronto, where he became involved in a union (now the Communications, Energy and Paperworkers). Heap entered politics to continue to fight poverty and homelessness, and ran as the New Democratic Party's candidate in Spadina in the 1968 federal election placing second. He was first elected Alderman (later City and Metro Councillor) for Toronto's Ward 6, where he served for a decade. When the Liberal Member of Parliament for Spadina, Peter Stollery, was appointed to the Senate in 1981, Heap decided to run in the subsequent by-election. Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau had recommended Stollery for appointment to the Senate in order to open the "safe Liberal riding" for his advisor Jim Coutts. Heap defeated Coutts in the by-election, however, and was re-elected in the 1984 and 1988 elections. He retired prior to the 1993 election. This article is about the Canadian political party. ...
