Rookie NDP MP Ellen Brosseau has finally surfaced to give her first media interview, since being elected last Monday.
Brosseau, speaking to a local reporter, said that her victory came as a “shock,” because she “wasn’t really expecting to win.”
While Brosseau did have time to vacation in Las Vegas during the campaign, she claimed she “never had the opportunity time to go to the riding.”
It is still not clear whether Brosseau even knew she was candidate. Apparently, the NDP needed a candidate to run in the riding of Berthier-Maskinogé and a friend of hers, who works at NDP headquarters in Ottawa, put her name forward.
I suspect that Brosseau woke up Tuesday morning to find she won the lottery – a salary of $157,000 for at least the next four years.
If anybody is in contempt of parliament, it is the NDP for making a mockery of the election process.
