DESCRIPTION:Equality is a critical element of Canada’s representative democ
 racy\, yet it is one that our electoral system faces critical challenges i
 n delivering.  In principle\, Canadians are governed under notions of vote
 r equality\, “effective representation” of diverse communities\, and equal
  treatment of political candidates. However\, the chronic under-representa
 tion of women\, racial minorities and Aboriginals in our elected instituti
 ons\, alleged voter suppression tactics\, and electoral boundaries that di
 lute the votes of some Canadians suggest we still have far to go in making
  these ideas a practical reality.  At this workshop\, we will hear from ac
 ademics and practitioners about the sources of under-representation and un
 responsiveness and propose solutions for greater equality and fairness.
