Well with the election wrapped up, I came across some interesting tidbits on the recently elected NDP members in the province of Quebec. Seems some of the new Members of Parliament come from all walks of life, which is fine. A former communist, a UFC cagefighter, and then there is Ruth Ellen Brosseau, the representative of the Quebec riding of Berthier - Maskinongé.
What makes this amusing is her activities during the election campaign. Here are some of the most interesting facts:
- She is barely fluent in French, despite being the NDP candidate in a overwhelmingly French speaking riding in Quebec
- She took a vacation to Vegas during the Election campaign
- She did not bother to show up in her riding during Election night
- She never once visited the riding she was competing for (too busy working at a pub in her hometown of Ottawa?)
Maybe I am being unfair, and rushing to judgement. Mrs. Brosseau could turn out to be a fine MP. And hey, don't tell me some of those those sexually repressed old men that have been at Sussex Drive for years wouldn't mind some eye candy in the house. I mean look at her. She's smokin'!
