Document Summary

Represented the most at the federal level out of the other. Political culture central canada : federal orientation (only province that sees ourselves as, have not" but doesn"t believe it being from canada first before our province) Right now the ndp government is still partially remembered for their horrible governing starting in 1990, so collier doesn"t see ndp being put into office anytime soon: ndp, pcs and liberal have all formed government. Not a polarized 3-party system: ndp does most for women, 50% ridings should have women candidate, 75% on non-incumbent targets: seats" from target. Cultural communities : no firm targets but aims to recruit more women and, leader has discretionary power to override riding, money associations, no targets leave it up to the ridings to decide. Pcs: no money win program ended in late 1990s. Notably kathleen wynne"s election: first openly gay premier in canada, first elected female premier in ontario, 2/3 party leaders in 2014 election were women.
