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.

Pate, Kim
Kim Pate, appointed to the Senate of Canada in November 2016, is a renowned advocate with over 45 years of experience working within Canada's legal and penal systems on behalf of marginalized, victimized, and criminalized individuals, particularly imprisoned youth, men, and women. A graduate of Dalhousie Law School, she served as Executive Director of the Canadian Association of Elizabeth Fry Societies (CAEFS) for nearly 25 years, where she worked extensively with marginalized women, including Indigenous women and those with mental health issues. Pate played a pivotal role in the Inquiry into Certain Events at the Prison for Women in Kingston and has been a strong voice for women's rights, equality, and justice reform. Her work has earned her numerous accolades, including the Order of Canada and multiple honorary doctorates. Senator Pate continues her advocacy by maintaining close connections with women in federal prisons and encouraging others to engage deeply with issues of inequality and discrimination within the justice system. She resides in Ottawa, Ontario.
