    local candidate

    I used to think like that, until I realized that I never met the past 3 representatives from my riding. They sent representatives to knock on my door during the campaign saying yes to any issue I brought up, they never hold town halls, and only returned generic messages when we tried to contact them - when they answer.

    The person elected this time does not live in my riding.

    All of them voted with the party, and never proposed anything useful.

    That was one of the questions I had for the candidates knocking this time, would you vote against the party if their decision would harm “us”(the riding)?

    Today, I rather vote for anyone (or party/independent list) in Canada that would relate to my expectations. I do not care where they live, only that they do a good job.
