Covering eleven cities as well as Canada's Parliament, it breaks new ground by assessing the representation of diverse identity groups across multiple levels of government. Electoral representation is an important indicator of a democracy's health, and this book not only provides a baseline for future research but also outlines the key challenges facing Canadian democracy."--Publisher's description 606 $aMinorities$xPolitical activity$zCanada 606 $aImmigrants$xPolitical activity$zCanada 606 $aWomen$xPolitical activity$zCanada 606 $aPolitical participation$zCanada 606 $aRepresentative government and representation$zCanada 606 $aMinorities$zCanada$xActivite? politique 606 $aImmigrants$zCanada$xActivite? politique 607 $aCanada$xPolitics and government$y2006- 615 0$aMinorities$xPolitical activity 615 0$aImmigrants$xPolitical activity 615 0$aWomen$xPolitical activity 615 0$aPolitical participation 615 0$aRepresentative government and representation 615 0$aMinorities$xActivite? politique. 615 0$aImmigrants$xActivite? politique. 676 $a324/.08900971 701 $aAndrew$b Caroline$0879612 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910817027703321 996 $aElecting a diverse Canada$94054197 997 $aUNINA
