Well-known in the broadcasting industry, she was propelled to the political forefront following her appointment to the Senate of Canada (1995) and her election as President of the Liberal Party of Canada (2006). \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eShe had to overcome many challenges throughout her career: sexism, prejudice against single mothers and career women, wage disparities, and harassment in the workplace. Above all, she experienced the opprobrium reserved for Senate members--all of whom were exonerated--targeted as part of the Senate expenses scandal (2012-2016).
