2019 Federal Election

[tomh009]

The Conservative Party nominated former MP Stephen Woodworth to be its candidate in Kitchener Centre. His opponent was Mary Henein Thorn, who was the OPC's candidate last year.

Woodworth has experience, but holds some controversial views that will be remembered by a lot of voters.

From Wikipedia:

In 2012, Woodworth introduced Motion 312, a private member's motion attempting to re-open the debate around Canadian abortion law. The bill proposed to create a special committee to redefine Canada's legal definition of human being. The motion was defeated 203-91. In 2013, Woodworth followed up with a second private member's motion, Motion 476, again attempting to challenge Canada's abortion laws. However, Woodworth failed to receive the unanimous consent of Parliament required to reopen the debate after his previous motion was defeated
