MP voting record [View all]

I came across this online tool where you can check the voting record for just about every MP since 2006 -- https://www.votes.mp/.

One of the more interesting things I discovered is that, out of 144 bills, Trudeau voted only 81 times -- ie, 56%. Harper is a little better at 61% (105/173). And Tom Mulcair voted 79% of the time (126/160).

So if you use the University of Toronto grading scale, Trudeau is "marginal," Harper is "adequate,", and Mulcair is "Good: Evidence of grasp of subject matter; some evidence of critical capacity and analytic ability; reasonable understanding of relevant issues; evidence of familiarity with literature."

But of course we all know that Harper cheated.
