I was wasting time on Wikipedia tonight and we have a page... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alpha_Gamma_Delta

It says that Carolyn Bennett is a Tau... I'd never heard this before! The website doesn't list her as an Accomplished Alpha Gam but it definitely SHOULD.

She is one of the coolest people in Canadian politics, IMO. She was a practicing MD before she went into politics and was the Minister of Public Health under Paul Martin.
She's my MP (same thing as Representative in US Congress), and there's been talk that she'd be a top candidate to take over leadership of the Liberals. Now I really, REALLY hope that happens!

That would be some really cool bragging rights (well in Canadian chapters maybe!) ... first female PM elected in Canada! (there was a female PM before, Kim Campbell, but she was only in power for about four months because the previous PM resigned and she lost the ensuing election...in a nutshell)

If anyone's interested, Bennett's bio is here.
