The Honourable Sheila Copps, known as one of Canada’s foremost female politicians, has been a prominent figure in Canadian public life for almost 35 years. Known for being feisty and tough, she was born and raised in Hamilton, Ontario. Sheila entered politics in 1981 by becoming the first Liberal in over 50 years to represent the provincial riding of Hamilton Centre. In 1984, she was elected Member of Parliament for the riding of Hamilton East and was re-elected in five successive elections.

Dear Sheila-I just wanted to say that last night’s broadcast of The Agenda illustrated that you have a very good grasp of the situation about Mr. Obama and I sometimes am flabbergasted at the so-called knowledge that other guests purport to think is gospel.More power to you for standing up for a man who clearly has worked tirelessly ever since his ascendancy to the Presidential role and much luck to you also in the future! Most sincerely, Pauline Stewart
