TORONTO – After watching all 7 US Democratic debates, participating in numerous Twitter arguments regarding the primaries and listening to dozens of podcasts about the various factors that will determine the Democratic front runner, local woman Maura Scholbert cannot name a single Member of Provincial Parliament.
