Before politics

MacLeod was born in Sydney, Nova Scotia in 1956.[2] From 1976 to 1995, he worked a variety of positions with the Cape Breton Development Corporation.

MacLeod was re-elected in the 2009,[15][16] 2013[17] and 2017 elections.[18]

On May 14, 2019, MacLeod announced he was seeking the Conservative nomination in Cape Breton—Canso for the 2019 federal election.[19] He was named the candidate in June 2019.[20] MacLeod resigned his provincial seat on July 31, 2019.[21] He was defeated in the federal election.
