Well that's interesting!
Greene was pregnant in 1978 while sitting as a municipal councillor in North York, which drew media attention not only because she was the first woman politician in Canada to give birth while in office, but also because she was unmarried and declined to give the name of the father. A decade later, she was the one-term Progressive Conservative MP for Don Valley North.
