She literally screwed over her own parties chances to win one seat.

I don't know if I'd say that. She clearly won her seat and she's been a pretty good MP for the most part. She's incredibly active in her riding and does a really good job of remaining visible in Victoria and on the Gulf Islands. Whenever I attend events like Pride, the Saanich fair, etc., she's always present at the Green tents. The Liberal and NDP MPs usually hand that sort of thing off to their minions, and the Conservatives don't even bother showing up.
That's actually another thing that leaves a bad taste in my mouth regarding the federal Conservatives. It's not even like Pride is that much of a political statement anymore. It's pretty much been taken over by corporations for marketing and PR purposes, and yet the Conservatives seem to be the only party who won't show up for it. It's a minor quibble, I know, but it tells me they're still afraid of standing up to that section of their base.
