Canadian Federal Members of Parliament (MPs), grouped by Zodiac sign

A light-hearted project, inspired by a tweet.

Conceived for levity during a pandemic, this project also serves as a provocative thought-experiment with respect to how we perceive unity and division.

Discussion Topics

• Imagine a Federal MP with whom you differ on political views. If you discover you share the same Zodiac sign, does that alter your perception? Does it humanize them (even if you still disagree with their stance)?
