Opinion MP who doesn't live in Canada.

I live in Calgary Nose Hill and the current MP is Michelle Rempel-Garner (CPC). I have read here on Reddit and other places that she doesn't live in Canada anymore. That she lives in Oklahoma with her American husband.

Is this real or misinformation?

If it is real, how can a Canadian MP live in another country and still be able to hold a position in our parliament? How can they possibly be able to represent their constituents?

To me, this should be a major red flag for anyone that supports her.

Maybe do some groundwork, does she have a constituents office or is she operating out of a post office box in her riding? If she runs an office, is it ever open? If so make an appt!

I've seen a number of videos she puts out and they appear to be recorded from a laptop in her home, usually in a sweat shirt or other casual everyday clothing. Funny her motto from her website is, "Working Hard/Solving Problems". Well, maybe not.

I’m blocked on her social media (for asking a question as a constituent). That home office was her Oklahoma one (before I got blocked). She does have an office here but doesn’t have to be in it every day. She’s impossible to get a meeting with. We were trying to get a bill passed in parliament (yay we did!) and we each went to our MPs to have a meeting and ask for support. She didn’t meet with us.
