Belinda Carmen Karahalios is a Canadian politician who served as the member of Provincial Parliament for the riding of Cambridge in the Legislative Assembly of Ontario from 2018 to 2022.
Karahalios was originally elected in the 2018 provincial election as a member of the Progressive Conservative Party of Ontario (PC). She was ejected from the party caucus in July 2020 for voting against Bill 195, which would allow the provincial government to extend emergency powers for up to two years without consulting the legislature. She finished her term as a member of the New Blue Party of Ontario, which is led by her husband, Jim Karahalios.[1] Karahalios was unseated by the Progressive Conservative candidate in the 2022 Ontario general election.
