IN HIS OWN WORDS
"Raised in Burnaby, I graduated from Cariboo Hill Secondary School and later, SFU in computer science. I am CTO of a multinational technology company."
WE ASKED
We asked each of the candidates four questions, with a 30-word limit on answers. Here's what Murarka said:
BIGGEST SUCCESS IN LIFE?
My career as a scientist. Thanks to life’s experiences, I have the privilege of hiring, inspiring and leading intelligent local engineers to build amazing technologies that empower the less fortunate.
BIGGEST FAILURE OR REGRET IN LIFE?
I believe strongly now in the 80/20 rule and wish I’d balanced life better. It is not about doing one thing and ignoring others. It is about intelligent equilibrium.
WHY I WOULD MAKE A GREAT MLA
I am a scientist focused on facts, not politics. I will make decisions based on evidence, analysis and rationality. I will balance the best of fiscal conservatism with social consciousness.
FAVOURITE BOOK OR MOVIE?
Movie: Shawshank Redemption. An amazing story of how, despite gross injustice, a person with patience, tenacity and intelligence can free himself of the wrongs done to him and achieve freedom.
