From Lisa Raitt to Renata Ford, these are the five high-profile women who lost Monday

An unprecedented 98 women were elected to parliament Monday night, according to Chatelaine, up from 88 in the 2015 federal election — still constituting less than 30 per cent of elected MPs — but five high-profile women were defeated.“It’s always a surprise when high-profile members lose their seats, but it happens every election,” said Stephen White, an assistant professor in Carleton University’s department of political science.

He points to Ralph Goodale, the longtime Liberal MP unseated Monday in Regina-Wascana by Conservative candidate Michael Kram. Still, it is more common to have female “star candidates” in competitive battlegrounds than men, Marc-André Bodet, a professor of political science at the Université Laval, said in an email. Not because voters discriminate against women, “but rather because women tend to accept to run in much harder races and men tend to choose, and get better, options .”Conservative incumbent and deputy party leader Lisa Raitt lost her Milton, Ont.

Including Renata Ford is an insult to these hardworking elected officials.

Renata is only high profile in the way Eva Braun was high profile. Your lede is shite, as is including her with a group of women who made real contributions to society

Renata Ford is now considered a high profile woman? Really?

Too bad climate Barbie isn’t there.
