2019 Federal Election

I remember a lot about him.  I remember specifically his regressive views on women's rights, but also his refusal to so much as reply to me when I raised the voting rights issue when Harper was trying to take away my, and my friend's vote.

He's a terrible MP regardless of how you feel about the PCs.

Say what?

I agree Woodworth was not a good MP - it seemed to me that he was more concerned with persuing his own agenda than with representing his constituents in Ottawa.

Haper's electoral changes would have eliminated the ability to vouch for other's to allow them to vote, when one person lacks the proper proof of residency.  As students who are occasionally on work terms, who might be staying in non-traditional housing, one does not always have the proof of address needed to vote.

I have done this for people I know, who would not have been able to vote without it, and I was very nearly in such a situation as well.

That was among the other bad things in that bill, but it was the one which most directly affected me.
