Liberal Party
Member of Parliament Sackville-Preston-Chezzetcook
Darrell Samson didn’t hesitate for a second when I asked him what he thought the Liberal’s most important accomplishment had been during his first term in office.
“I’m so proud of the government strategy that has allowed us as a country to lift 900,000 Canadians out of poverty. We’ve wiped out 20% of poverty in three and a half years. And 300,000 of those people are kids. That is powerful. That’s not a personal accomplishment, but it represents what my values are. We want to create conditions so that all Canadians have the opportunity to succeed.”

Betsy MacDonald’s interest in politics is deeply rooted in her family’s history. Her father served as a councillor in Antigonish. In an interview with the Cooperator, MacDonald said, “I was very influenced by the Antigonish Movement and its social justice values.

Even a few minutes with MP Sean Fraser makes it clear how much he loves his job. “You don’t need to be a Prime Minister to make a tangible difference in the lives of the people you serve,” Fraser told the Cooperator. “As an MP, you have a real opportunity to have an impact: getting people access to the programs that can help them, helping community organizations build new facilities, and sometimes even shifting national policy in new directions.”
