Michael A.J. Baldasaro and Walter Tucker are eccentric fixtures in the Hamilton, Ontario, area.
They are members of the Church of the Universe, where they are more commonly known as Brother Michael and Brother Wally. Church members use marijuana as a sacrament and have operated a nudist colony in Puslinch, Ontario. This activity obviously led to numerous criminal trials over possession and trafficking.
Baldasaro and Tucker have taken turns alternating as fringe candidates and their official agents in various area elections. Their support peaked at 10% of the Hamilton mayoral vote in the 1990s, when Baldassaro was the sole opponent of incumbent mayor Robert Morrow.
