Dona Cadman - Member of Parliament

Member of Parliament

Following her husband's death, Cadman endorsed New Democratic Party candidate Penny Priddy in the 2006 election. Priddy had been friendly with the Cadmans for many years, despite their sharp political differences.

Priddy went on to win, but retired after only one term. Cadman, who had by this time reconciled with the Conservatives, ran for the seat and won it narrowly, becoming a government backbencher. She was narrowly defeated in 2011 by New Democrat Jasbir Sandhu.

    I declare Billy. I like you so much personally I wish I could vote for you. But bein’ a member of the Grand Army of the Republic, I just as leave cut my throat as to vote for a Democrat.
    Laurence Stallings (1894–1968)

    The war shook down the Tsardom, an unspeakable abomination, and made an end of the new German Empire and the old Apostolic Austrian one. It ... gave votes and seats in Parliament to women.... But if society can be reformed only by the accidental results of horrible catastrophes ... what hope is there for mankind in them? The war was a horror and everybody is the worse for it.
    George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)
