Rate Your Politician
The private sector rates many services like food delivery, hotels and customer service calls. However, we do not rate our elected officials. With Poliforum's reviewing system, citizens participate in democracy by voicing their thoughts and feelings through constructive feedback that is a valuable indicator for these officials. These reviews serve as a feedback loop both for citizens and for the government.

Helena Konanz
Helena Konanz, born Helena Manset on February 1, 1961, in Santa Barbara, California, is a former professional tennis player turned Canadian politician. She played collegiate tennis at UCLA, earning All-American honors in 1982 and 1983, and later competed professionally, achieving a career-high doubles ranking of No. 228 in 1987. After retiring from tennis, Konanz worked for Nike, which led her to relocate to Canada. She entered politics as a Penticton City Councillor, elected in 2011 and re-elected in 2014. Although she narrowly lost federal elections in 2019 and 2021, Konanz was elected as the Conservative MP for Similkameen–South Okanagan–West Kootenay in April 2025, defeating incumbent Richard Cannings.
