Liberal MP out of caucus after employing sister for years using public funds
Yasmin Ratansi to sit as Independent, will 'await guidance' from ethics commissioner

A Toronto MP is leaving the Liberal caucus after CBC News found she had employed her sister in her constituency office for years using public funds— a violation of parliamentary rules.
Yasmin Ratansi announced her departure late Monday on Facebook.
"I made an error in judgment by employing my sister in my constituency office, and I have remedied the situation, but this does not excuse the error I made," she wrote.
Ratansi said she will continue sitting as an Independent, representing her constituents in Don Valley East, and will "await guidance" from the ethics commissioner.
The statement comes more than 30 hours after CBC News asked her office for comment on the issue.
Several former staffers told CBC News Ratansi tried to cover up the relationship by having her sister use a fake first name and telling some staff to keep their family connection quiet.
"I think it's horrific that a member of Parliament that's entrusted to behave honourable and ethically can get away with impunity," said a former employee. "It really questions the integrity of the institutions."
Ratansi, a backbencher, is a trained accountant and became the first Muslim woman elected to the House of Commons in 2004. She lost the seat in 2011 and won it back in 2015. Ratansi is the chair of the standing committee on environment and used to be the vice-chair of the committee overseeing federal government departments' expenses.
Her sister Zeenat Khatri has worked as her constituency assistant for much of her time in office, according to six former staffers.
During her early years as an MP, it was against the rules to hire "immediate family" including parents, spouses and children, but not siblings. That changed in 2012 when the House's Board of Internal Economy updated its bylaws, said House director of communications Heather Bradley.
'Blatant disregard'
Multiple sources said Ratansi employed her sister from at least 2005 to 2011, then hired her again in 2017. But that time, said the sources, Ratansi and Khatri told staff to call her "Jenny" rather than Zeenat — a name she hadn't used in the office before. CBC News has seen one business card bearing the name "Jenny Khatri."
"Yasmin told us explicitly — my sister will be coming to work in our office," said that same former employee. "She was going to assume a different name, so she was going to be referred to as Jenny.
"The idea was we bring her in but try to conceal her identity, keep her hidden, keep her tucked away so that people don't find out that her sister is employed in the office."
CBC News spoke to five former employees who worked for Ratansi's office between 2015 and present and a sixth person who worked for her more than a decade ago. They spoke on condition of confidentiality, citing fear of retaliation from Ratansi herself and of potential harm to their careers.
Two former employees said Ratansi and Khatri went to great lengths to cover up their family connection from constituents.
"The fact that she hired her sister and it's against the rules ... it just feels wrong, it is unethical and blatant disregard of the rules," said another former staff member.
Multiple former employees said they saw Khatri hide in a spare office when members of the public came in. They said Khatri was worried that a volunteer or constituent might recognize her as Ratansi's sister.
Sources also said Khatri instructed some employees to make sure she wasn't photographed at public events — unless she was attending as a family member rather than as Ratansi's constituency assistant.
"You might not like it, but you're bound to sort of keep that secret, or else," said one former staffer. "We were forced to, as staff members, to basically be complicit in unethical behaviour … it hurts to basically choke that down and not say anything."
Other staffers claim they were kept in the dark. One former employee said they believed the pair were not related and, when told that Ratansi and Khatri are siblings, said "the wool was pulled over my eyes."
As of Monday, Khatri was still listed as Ratansi's constituency assistant on the government's online directory. More than 24 hours after CBC News asked Ratansi for comment, her Liberal website had been taken down.
'It's a hard day' says government whip
Chief government whip Mark Holland said he was not aware of the issue until contacted by CBC News on Monday. He said the House rules are clear and it's "essential they be respected."
"We try to have rigorous systems and processes but clearly this was not caught and now it has to go to the ethics commissioner to figure out what the appropriate restitution is," he told CBC News.
"It's a hard day. I was elected in 2004 with Yasmin, so it's a very difficult day. But I think taking responsibility for her lapse in judgment, stepping way from caucus … these are the right steps."
'Not good leadership'
Chris MacDonald, an associate professor who teaches business ethics at the Ted Rogers School of Management in Toronto, says there are good reasons why the public frowns on nepotism and expects public figures to hire on merit.
He said the claim that Ratansi covered up her sister's hiring is more troubling than the hiring itself. He said it suggests a guilty mind and an attempt to keep information from constituents and voters.
"Once there is an attempt to cover it up, then it makes it pretty clear that even the person doing the hiring realizes there's something fishy here," he said.
"If these allegations are true, it's a disturbing picture of abuse of power, of a misuse of a position that involves trust and public resources."

AH, yet another of our ""honorable" members of parliament who have been shown to be very conspicuously less than honorable.
Making it even more egregious is the fact that she deliberately planned and carried out the deception of using a fake name for her sister.
She should never be allowed back in to parliament, independent or not.
Pity there isn't an automatic expulsion and byelection.
Naturally the other parties have never had a member who did anything wrong. No Siree Bob.
The ethics commissioner should make her repay the Canadian people all the salary she paid her sister.
The Conservatives engage in similar types of quid pro quo.

Both should be required to payback their wages for the time frame the sister was employed by the MP.
Both should be barred from any publicly funded positions for life.
As long as there are no real consequences, politicians will continue to disregard ethics.
That fact had become blatantly obvious to many people before I came home to run in the election of the 38th Parliament Furthermore to add to my indignation the Commission of Public Sector Integrity that was created in 2007 over a year after I ran in the election of the 39th Parliament has done nothing but assist in the cover up of my concerns ever since even when i sued the Queen and 2015 and filed their documents in the docket of the Federal Court of Appeal etc. Now a lawyer who quit as its chair just before I ran in the election of the 42nd Parliament is Parliament' Ethics Commissioner? Ask me why nothing in politicking surprises me anymore. In fact long ago I Double Dog Dared anyone to do so and put in writing and everybody knows the Public Records of many courts etc clearly show that many politicians and the Crown's many lawyers and judges obliged me many times beginning in 2004
Methinks political science is not as difficult to understand as rocket science is. It has nothing to do with logic or integrity. Rockets would not fly without obeying the rules of the natural world yet politicians soar ever higher in their strange world while ignoring all rules dreamt up by other politicians or even common sense N'esy Pas?
Michael Sona could face prison time in Guelph robocalls case
24-year-old former Tory staffer only person charged in 2011 federal election controversy
Michael Sona will be prosecuted on a more serious indictable offence after being charged with robocalls that targeted Guelph, Ont., voters in the last federal election. The maximum penalty for the indictable offence includes five years in prison. (PMO)
The Crown prosecutor is going after serious prison time in the Guelph, Ont., robocalls case, choosing to pursue Michael Sona for an indictable offence over misleading phone calls in the last federal election.
Sona, 24, is the only person charged so far in a broad investigation into complaints of misleading or harassing phone calls, allegedly intended to drive supporters of opposition parties away from the polls during the 2011 federal campaign.
Croft Michaelson, the federal lawyer leading the case for the Public Prosecution Service of Canada, confirmed to CBC News that the office wants to "proceed by indictment" against Sona.
Sona is charged with the hybrid offence of wilfully preventing or endeavouring to prevent a voter from casting a ballot. A hybrid offence is one where the Crown can choose to prosecute the charge as a less serious summary offence or the more serious indictable offence.
The maximum penalty for the summary conviction is a $2,000 fine and one year in jail, while the maximum penalty for the indictable conviction is a $5,000 fine and five years in prison.
Federal court found 'campaign to mislead voters'
Sona was the director of communications for Guelph Conservative candidate Marty Burke and one of a number of campaign workers mentioned in court documents filed over the past two years as Elections Canada investigators followed the trail of someone using the pseudonym Pierre Poutine to orchestrate automated phone calls that directed some Guelph voters to the wrong polling stations.
Sona started as a Conservative Party intern and worked for several MPs, including James Moore, Rob Moore and Eve Adams. He was working in Adams's office when the investigation was first reported and had to quit after his name was leaked to the media as the alleged perpetrator of the calls.
Sona has consistently denied having anything to do with the vote suppressing phone calls.
The calls in Guelph weren't the only ones to target voters.
A Federal Court judge ruled in May that voter suppression calls were widespread across the country. Judge Richard Mosley made the ruling after a court challenge that could have removed seven Conservative MPs from their seats. The MPs were challenged by voters in their ridings who alleged the MPs benefited from the pattern of harassing and misleading calls
Mosley said he was not making a finding that the Conservative Party, its candidates or the suppliers providing live and automated robocalls were directly involved in "the campaign to mislead voters," though he said that the most likely source of the information used to make the misleading calls is the Conservative Party's database.

Conservatives demand remedial measures for MP who left Liberals after hiring sister
New video shows Ratansi saying her sister is 'adopted, actually'
· CBC News · Posted: Nov 12, 2020 11:34 AM ET

The Conservatives sent a letter to the Speaker of the House of Commons today demanding that action be taken against now-Independent MP Yasmin Ratansi for employing her sister for years in contravention of parliamentary rules.
Ratansi, a longtime MP who represents Don Valley East, announced on Facebook late Monday night she was leaving the Liberal caucus after learning CBC News would be publishing a story revealing that she had employed her sister as her constituency assistant since 2017, and that former employees claimed she tried to cover it up.
Several former staffers claim Ratansi told employees to call her sister, Zeenat Khatri, by a different name — "Jenny." Those employees also said they saw Khatri hide under her desk or in another room when people came into the office who might recognize her. Staff also were told not to photograph her sister at events, the former employees claim.
"This is just another example in a long line of arrogant and entitled behaviour by Liberals, with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau leading by example," wrote the Conservatives' ethics critic, Michael Barrett, in the letter to Speaker Anthony Rota today.
"Ms. Ratansi knew it was wrong to employ her sister with taxpayer dollars, yet she went to great lengths to cover up this information. Canadians deserve better from their elected leaders."
Barrett asked Rota to bring the case to the Board of Internal Economy (BOIE), the body that governs the administration and finances of the House of Commons. The party said it wants to see "appropriate remedial measures" taken. Earlier in the week, the Conservatives also called for Ratansi's immediate resignation.
Intergovernmental Affairs Minister Dominic LeBlanc is a member of the BOIE. He told Vassy Kapelos, host of the CBC's Power and Politics, that the BOIE was not previously aware that Ratansi had her sister on the payroll.
"No, of course we didn't know, or the Board of Internal Economy would have corrected that," said LeBlanc. "If the House administration had known that, they would have obviously put an end to it."
LeBlanc said if House administration decides to recommend remedial steps "that are appropriate, we would of course support that."
"Anybody who misuses taxpayers money in a way that doesn't follow the clear rules that everyone understood, or should have understood, should be held accountable," he said.
In a Facebook post now deleted from Ratansi's account, the MP said she reported the case to the ethics commissioner last week. That move came after Ratansi learned CBC News was investigating the story.
Federal Ethics Commissioner Mario Dion confirmed today he has written a "letter of concern" to Ratansi giving her 30 days to respond.
Video shows Ratansi calling Khatri 'my adopted sister'
A member of the public, meanwhile, flagged to CBC News a new video of Ratansi talking about the case.
Last Wednesday, while chairing the Standing Committee on the Environment, Ratansi's microphone accidentally went off mute while she was taking a call about the matter involving her sister. She is seen leaning over, off camera, and saying, "Hi, listen, Zeenat is my adopted sister, actually."
WATCH | Ratansi refers to Khatri as 'my adopted sister':

The video also shows Conservative MP Brad Redekopp, who was in the middle of talking at the time, saying, "Hello," shortly after being interrupted. That prompted Ratansi to pop back up and stop talking.
CBC News asked Ratansi for a comment on Sunday about the allegations. More than four days later, CBC has still not received a response to the claims, despite repeated requests.
In the Facebook post that has since been pulled down, Ratansi apologized for hiring her sister.
"To the constituents of Don Valley East and to anyone I may have disappointed by my error of judgment, I take full responsibility, and to all I do apologize," Ratansi wrote on her Facebook page at 9:38 p.m. on Monday.
CBC News reported her sister worked as her constituency
assistant from 2005-2011 and from 2017 to present, according to
multiple former employees. As of 2012, it was against MPs' bylaws to
employ immediate family members, including a sibling.
Ratansi is photographed with family, including her sister
Zeenat Khatri (left of Ratansi in a floral dress), who is also listed as

MPs have their own operating budgets and are allowed to pay constituency assistants a maximum salary of $89,700 a year, according to the House of Commons. That means Ratansi could have paid her sister up to $269,100 over three years.
Claims of also ignoring immigration files
Ratansi is also facing claims she told staff to stop working on South Asian constituents' immigration and family reunification cases because she felt they were "untrustworthy" or suggested they "lied" because of their ethnicity.
CBC News agreed to protect the identities of the sources, who say they fear harm to their careers and retaliation from Ratansi herself after speaking out.
Former staff claim they heard Ratansi direct "at lot of vitriol" at certain ethnic and religious groups.

The sources claim Ratansi publicly yelled at staff about their work and called people "stupid" for simple mistakes, such as leaving paperwork in the printer or taking photos she didn't like.
The government's chief whip, Mark Holland, said Monday night his "understanding is Ms. Ratansi is disputing" the allegations about her statements and treatment of staff.
Now that Ratansi is an Independent MP, he said, it's up to the House of Commons' chief human resources officer to "adjudicate" the matter. Holland encouraged employees to report their complaints formally.

after CBC News learned she had been employing her sister at her
constituency office for years, violating parliamentary rules. (Facebook)
Four former employees of Toronto MP Yasmin Ratansi — who left the Liberal caucus this week after admitting she employed her sister for years on the public dime — allege she repeatedly made offensive comments and created a "toxic and verbally abusive" environment at her office.
The former staffers say Ratansi mistreated employees by yelling at them, insulting their appearances and publicly ridiculing their work.
"It was like walking on eggshells every single day," said a former employee. "You'd come into work knowing that she was going to yell ... She was going to cut someone down and you just hope it wasn't you."

Multiple sources said that, when constituents from South Asian communities called about family reunification and immigration cases, Ratansi on some occasions told staff to stop working on some of their files because she felt the individuals involved were "untrustworthy" or suggested they "lied" because of their ethnicity.
After CBC News contacted Ratansi for comment, and to ask why she was employing her sister at the office, the MP announced on Facebook late last night she told the Prime Minister's Office she is leaving the Liberal party. Ratansi acknowledged that she had hired her sister as her constituency assistant — a violation of parliamentary rules — but did not address the claims about her behaviour in the workplace.
"To the constituents of Don Valley East and to anyone I may have disappointed by my error of judgment, I take full responsibility, and to all I do apologize," Ratansi wrote on her Facebook page at 9:38 pm.
Ratansi has not responded to CBC's request for comment submitted on Sunday, despite repeated requests for a response. On Monday night, she said she referred the matter to the Ethics Commissioner last week — after CBC News' investigation began.
MPs have their own operating budgets and are allowed to pay constituency assistants a maximum salary of $89,700 a year, according to the House of Commons. That means Ratansi could have paid her sister up to $269,100 over three years.
The government's chief whip Mark Holland said his "understanding is Ms. Rantasi is disputing" the allegations about her statements and treatment of staff. Now that Ratansi is an Independent MP, he said, it's up to the House of Commons' Chief Human Resources Officer to "adjudicate" the matter and Holland encouraged employees to report their complaints formally.
"We are absolutely committed to ensuring that all workplaces of all members in our caucus are safe workplaces that are positive, supportive and free of any form of harassment," said Holland, adding that no formal complaints have been filed against Rantasi.
The Conservatives are calling on Ratansi to resign immediately.
"One thing is clear — Trudeau MPs continue to believe that they are entitled to a different set of rules than average Canadians," said Conservative ethics critic MP Michael Barrett. "That employing their sister with taxpayer dollars is OK, as long as they don't get caught."
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau faced questions today about Don Valley East MP Yasmin Ratansi, who has now left caucus to sit as an independent. 1:11
Asked about Ratansi hiring her sister, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau called the case "unacceptable" and lamented the fact that such acts can tarnish the reputation of all MPs.
"I am deeply disappointed by the news I learned yesterday from Ms. Ratansi and how she handled the office," he told a press conference. "It is unacceptable and I expect there to be a thorough followup by the House administration on this."
Allegations of racist comments
Ratansi, a backbencher and a trained accountant, became the first Muslim woman elected to the House of Commons in 2004. She lost the seat in 2011 and won it back in 2015. She is currently the chair of the Commons standing committee on the environment.

Several former staff members claim they heard Ratansi casually make comments they considered "racist" by applying stereotypes to Chinese, South Asian and Caribbean constituents and communities.
"She said that there are too many Chinese in [the] riding and [she did not want] any more Chinese," said a former employee. "She also said that constituents shouldn't sell their houses to the Chinese because they don't vote."
"There was definitely a lot of explicit as well as casual racism that I observed and heard during my time in that office," said another former employee. "A lot of vitriol directed to certain ethnic groups, religious groups."

Multiple sources said they heard Ratansi discourage staff from working on some South Asian communities' immigration files because she felt some came to Canada illegally and couldn't be trusted.
"Yasmin maintained a certain scepticism toward certain groups of people," said a former staff member. "Stereotypes, really, and [she] used those stereotypes to basically dictate action on certain immigration files."
It's not the first time Ratansi has come under fire for her remarks. She was accused of "victim blaming" in 2017 in response to comments she made about sexual violence during a panel discussion, VICE reported.
A member of the audience told VICE that Ratansi said "'sexual violence happens because women sexualize themselves' and that when it comes to dealing with sexual harassment, women should have thicker skin and treat the encounters 'like a water off a duck's back.'"
Ratansi originally denied making the comments, then apologized.
'It was an abusive and toxic environment'
The former employees CBC News spoke to also claim Ratansi created a "toxic environment" at the office. Two former employees said they felt Ratansi was frustrated by her lack of career advancement and took it out on staff.
"It was always scary, because you never know what will happen when she comes into the office," said a former staffer. "Whether she's in a good mood or bad mood ... It was an abusive and toxic environment."
The sources claim Ratansi publicly yelled at staff about their work and called people "stupid" for simple mistakes, such as leaving paperwork in the printer or taking photos she didn't like.

In some cases, the comments were aimed at employees' appearances, said the sources. One former staffer said Ratansi called some staff members "fat." Another said said Ratansi told some staff members on more than one occasion that she was selecting other staffers to attend public events because they looked "like shit."
CBC News spoke to a fifth former employee who said that while Ratansi is opinionated, they never felt they were being mistreated or heard any troubling comments.
'This is not good leadership,' said ethics expert
Two other former employees of Ratansi's office defended her and said the claims made against her contradicted their experiences of working with her. Both said they did not hear the MP make inappropriate comments and did not witness staff being treated badly.
Chris MacDonald is a professor at the Ted Rogers School of Management who teaches business ethics. He said the claims, if true, raise serious questions about Ratansi's leadership style.
"This is not good leadership, this is not good management and it shouldn't be tolerated," he said.
"I think the overall pattern here, if substantiated, is one that should worry Canadians. This is not what we expect from our elected officials and it's not the kind of example they should be setting."

>>
>> Fredericton, New Brunswick, December 23, 2015
>>
>> PRESENT: The Honourable Mr. Justice Bell
>>
>> BETWEEN:
>>
>> DAVID RAYMOND AMOS
>>
>> Plaintiff
>>
>> and
>>
>> HER MAJESTY THE QUEEN
>>
>> Defendant
>>
>> ORDER
>>
>> (Delivered orally from the Bench in Fredericton, New Brunswick, on
>> December 14, 2015)
>>
>> The Plaintiff seeks an appeal de novo, by way of motion pursuant to
>> the Federal Courts Rules (SOR/98-106), from an Order made on November
>> 12, 2015, in which Prothonotary Morneau struck the Statement of Claim
>> in its entirety.
>>
>> At the outset of the hearing, the Plaintiff brought to my attention a
>> letter dated September 10, 2004, which he sent to me, in my then
>> capacity as Past President of the New Brunswick Branch of the Canadian
>> Bar Association, and the then President of the Branch, Kathleen Quigg,
>> (now a Justice of the New Brunswick Court of Appeal). In that letter
>> he stated:
>>
>> As for your past President, Mr. Bell, may I suggest that you check the
>> work of Frank McKenna before I sue your entire law firm including you.
>> You are your brother’s keeper.
>>
>> Frank McKenna is the former Premier of New Brunswick and a former
>> colleague of mine at the law firm of McInnes Cooper. In addition to
>> expressing an intention to sue me, the Plaintiff refers to a number of
>> people in his Motion Record who he appears to contend may be witnesses
>> or potential parties to be added. Those individuals who are known to
>> me personally, include, but are not limited to the former Prime
>> Minister of Canada, The Right Honourable Stephen Harper; former
>> Attorney General of Canada and now a Justice of the Manitoba Court of
>> Queen’s Bench, Vic Toews; former member of Parliament Rob Moore;
>> former Director of Policing Services, the late Grant Garneau; former
>> Chief of the Fredericton Police Force, Barry McKnight; former Staff
>> Sergeant Danny Copp; my former colleagues on the New Brunswick Court
>> of Appeal, Justices Bradley V. Green and Kathleen Quigg, and, retired
>> Assistant Commissioner Wayne Lang of the Royal Canadian Mounted
>> Police.
>>
>> In the circumstances, given the threat in 2004 to sue me in my
>> personal capacity and my past and present relationship with many
>> potential witnesses and/or potential parties to the litigation, I am
>> of the view there would be a reasonable apprehension of bias should I
>> hear this motion. See Justice de Grandpré’s dissenting judgment in
>> Committee for Justice and Liberty et al v National Energy Board et al,
>> [1978] 1 SCR 369 at p 394 for the applicable test regarding
>> allegations of bias. In the circumstances, although neither party has
>> requested I recuse myself, I consider it appropriate that I do so.
>>
>>
>> AS A RESULT OF MY RECUSAL, THIS COURT ORDERS that the Administrator of
>> the Court schedule another date for the hearing of the motion. There
>> is no order as to costs.
>>
>> “B. Richard Bell”
>> Judge
>>
>>
>> Below after the CBC article about your concerns (I made one comment
>> already) you will find the text of just two of many emails I had sent

>>> further notice, proceedings in the Federal Court of Appeal will
>>> continue to be based on a paper record which is to be prepared and

>>> The funding requested by the Privy Council Office (PCO), which

>>>
>>> But according to the Privy Council the additional funding is needed to
>>> ensure the official site is keeping up in an increasingly digital

>>>
>>> “As Canadians are increasingly receiving and sharing information in
>>> digital formats, the requirements associated with pm.gc.ca have grown
>>> and become more numerous and complex with the addition of new content
>>> such as video, live streaming and social media,” Raymond Rivet, a
>>> spokesperson for the office, told the Star in a statement.

>>> “The use of new technology platforms and the increasing volume and

>>> PCO web operations and associated IT support.”
>>>
>>> Rivet pointed to live-streaming services as a driver to the costs, and

>>> is granted through this month’s federal budget, the team dedicated to
>>> pm.gc.ca would grow to six.

Following politics in New Brunswick
David Raymond Amos
Fundy Royal; Tory Stronghold
If you’re a gambler and looking for a safe bet in New Brunswick, look no further than old faithful Fundy Royal. With the exception of the Great Tory Massacre of 1993, the riding has been all different shades of blue as far back as the First World War. Even a consolidated left wing vote for a single challenger would likely not overthrow incumbent Rob Moore.
Rob Moore enters the race like a prize fighter against a pack untested ring rookies. Moore has been the member of parliament for Fundy Royal since 2004. He has won his last two victories with more than 50% of the vote, making him one of the few true majority winners for the Conservative Party east of the praries. Despite his undisputed success at the polls, his leader, Stephen Harper has never rewarded Moore with a really great cabinet post. He has had a couple minister of state posts, and served as a parliamentary secretary to a real Minister. Interestingly, Moore was born in Newfoundland, and spent the first half of his life in the United States before returning to Canada. This is interesting because the CPC slogans which railed against Michael Ignatieff (He didn’t come back for you) in the 2011 election proved so popular in the riding.
The Liberals hope to repeat the unexpected success of the 1993 election, when Paul Zed won the riding, with Alaina Lockhart. Lockhart is an accomplished businessperson and entrepreneur. She has also served as a municipal councillor for Norton and because of this, desires to work toward bringing all levels of government to work better together. However, it will be a difficult, if not totally impossible battle. The Liberals have come in third here in 2011 and 2008. In fact, previous Liberal candidate Linda Wilhelm only managed to attain 10% of the vote in 2011.
The New Democrats are currently polling a distant second in the riding. If you were a strategic voter and wanted an “anything but Conservative” result, the NDP would be your safest bet. At the time of this posting, the NDP are 8 points behind Rob Moore according to Eric Grenier of the CBC. Repping the NDP is Jennifer McKenzie; engineer, former school board chair, and champion of ethnic minorities. She may enjoy second place, but it is still going to be an uphill battle. In a riding that has never elected a New Democrat, and only flirted with voting outside the CPC once, McKenzie will have to work tirelessly.
And here begins the sideshow:
Greens are running Stephanie Coburn again. Coburn ran in 2011, only to come in last place with less than 5% of the vote. Coburn also ran in the 2010 and 2014 provincial elections. But this year the Greens are polling as high as 8% in Fundy Royal, so there is some degree of progress.
Pirate Party candidate James Wilson is making a play for Fundy Royal. The Pirates want to loosen copyright law, and incumbent Moore sat on the legislative committee which updated Canada’s copyright laws.
One of the few ridings to have an independent, Fundy Royal gives us David Raymond Amos. A bearded busybody, he posted a series of rejection letters to his twitter that he received from various Canadian and American authorities for concerns, requests, and complaints. His blog includes confidential emails he received from CBC after threatening legal action against them.His specific political aims are, at this point, unclear.
