Radio-Canada contacted the 17 named MPs several times; none of them responded to interview requests. Those whom Radio-Canada tried to approach in person refused to comment.

Based on experience south of border or in AB - all the dissent goes out the window and everybody falls in line come election time. I'd like to believe that any of the major Canadian parties has members genuinely caring for their constituencies but given our electoral system and governing system that is out the window as hyper-partisanship is a natural step in current system's evolution. Parties prevent democracy by forcing their members to follow party line and not their electorate needs.
