User:Rottchel/sandbox/Why women are underrepresented in Canadian politics and what to expect in the future.

Women make up over half of Canada's population, yet they are vastly underrepresented within the parliamentary system. Women elected Members of Parliament (MP) have been on the rise since 2011, when 76 women were elected to the House of Commons, that number increased slightly to 88 in 2015, and in 2019 98 women became elected MP's.[1] Although the increase in numbers throughout Canada's electoral history is a telling sign, these numbers are still far too low and do not accurately represent the demographics of Canada.
