''The Globe and Mail'', May 2, 2011.〕 She represented the electoral district of Rivière-des-Mille-Îles as a member of the New Democratic Party from 2011 to 2015. Born in Calgary in 1990,〔http://www2.canada.com/calgaryherald/news/story.html?id=06d5b7d7-0b78-47d6-ba35-64d00315a605〕〔(Text message tweaked rookie New Democrat to her surprise victory ). ''The Globe and Mail'', May 12, 2011.〕 she was the youngest female Member of Parliament in Canadian history. She was one of five candidates, alongside Mylène Freeman, Matthew Dubé, Charmaine Borg and Jamie Nicholls, who were McGill University students when elected in the 2011 election following the NDP's unexpected mid-campaign surge in Quebec.〔("McGill 5 head off to House of Commons" ). ''The Gazette'', May 4, 2011.〕 In the 2015 election, all were defeated with the exception of Dubé. At the time of her election in 2011, she was pursuing a double major in History and Cultural Studies. She was active on campus as a board member of CKUT radio, a representative to the CKUT Programming Committee, an employee of McGill university's undergraduate student union, and a staff member of the McGill Daily.〔 Liu was raised in Pointe-Claire, Quebec.〔 Prior to attending McGill, she was a student at Royal West Academy and Collège Jean-de-Brébeuf.〔 At Jean-de-Brébeuf, she became politically active by founding the NDP campus club. She later moved on to be co-president of the youth wing of the Quebec section of the NDP.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Laurin Liu, NDP MP )〕 Liu, whose parents came to Canada from Hong Kong in the 1980s, is fluent in French, English and Cantonese.〔 == MP for Rivière-des-Mille-Îles == Liu had not expected to win, and spent most of the campaign helping NDP Quebec lieutenant Thomas Mulcair win reelection. She was working in a polling station in Mulcair's Outremont riding as an NDP scrutineer when a friend texted her that she was leading Bloc Québécois incumbent Luc Desnoyers.〔 Ultimately, she won over Desnoyers by a staggering 11,000-vote margin. By comparison, no NDP candidate had finished higher than fourth since the riding's creation in 1997, and all previous NDP challengers had gotten below the 10% necessary for their expenses to be refunded. At the age of 20 years, 196 days, Liu became the youngest woman in Canadian history to be elected to Parliament. She was the second-youngest MP in the 41st parliament, after Pierre-Luc Dusseault. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Laurin Liu」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
