‘Vegas’ candidate Ruth Ellen Brosseau preparing for public appearance
Ruth Ellen Brosseau, the newly elected NDP candidate who has faced a series of minor scandals, including spending some of her campaign on vacation in Vegas and allegedly fudging some signatures on her candidacy papers, is reportedly in a sort of PR boot camp. NDP officials have said Brosseau, along with other greenhorn candidates, is receiving a crash course on how to be an MP as well as improving her French—an important skill for Brosseau, as her new riding is 95 per cent francophone.
