Liberal MP Pam Damoff says she won’t run again in the next federal election, saying she has experienced misogyny, disrespectful dialogue in politics and threats to her life.

Damoff says she’s proud of her time in politics but it is no longer for her, and it’s time to turn the page to a new chapter.

She has represented Oakville North-Burlington, a riding west of Toronto, since 2015.

Damoff announced her planned exit with a letter posted on her Facebook page.

She says the current tone of politics is being driven by a desire for social-media clips and likes — a drastic change in how politicians interact with each other and the public.
