Born in Southampton, England, White was first elected in the British Columbia riding of North Vancouver in 1993 as a Reform Party of Canada candidate. He was re-elected in 1997 and 2000. While he was a member of parliament, Reform became known as the Canadian Alliance, then merged with the Progressive-Conservatives into the Conservative Party of Canada. White was defeated in the 2004 federal election by Liberal candidate Don Bell, therefore serving in the 35th through 37th Canadian Parliaments.[citation needed]
In the 1983 British Columbia general election, he was a candidate for the separatist Western Canada Concept party in the North Vancouver-Seymour riding.[1][2]
