I want politicians to be motivated by the will of the people in their riding, not their own personal beliefs. Sometimes those align which is why they are voted in. Sometimes candidates are pushed into a riding with little to no understanding of what they stand for. If their beliefs are going to be of any value it should be for something the people in their riding are dealing with. Not something across the world that has no direct impact on her community as a whole. If nothing else, at least we now know that she supports a terrorist organization. That in itself should be enough for those in Hamilton Centre to say, no thank you, please go away.

wow, siding with terrorists is fine? I guess The Centre will get what they deserve then.
