Politician

The Resume

    (April 26, 1984- )
    Born in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada
    Based in Gatineau, Quebec
    New Democratic Party representative, Minister of Parliament for Berthier-Maskinonge (Quebec, 2011– )
    Single mother and Carleton University bartender

Why she might be annoying:

    Like many of her fellow New Democrats, she was picked hastily to allow Jack Layton to run a full slate of candidates and barely knew the riding she represented.
    She was on vacation in Las Vegas for her 27th birthday during the electoral campaign; thus she did not have her own campaign.
    Though she came from a French-Canadian family, she hardly spoke the language.
    Her official party biography was accidentally altered, suggesting she graduated Saint-Lawrence College in Kingston.
    She was two credits away from graduating the advertising and marketing program, citing family issues, before she left.

Why she might not be annoying:

    She comes from a working-class background, sadly absent in past Parliaments.
    Her Vegas trip was planned before she was considered for the ballot (and therefore could not be canceled).
    She is among more than 100 NDP candidates who formed the official opposition in the 41st federal election — and nearly 60 from Quebec alone.
    In a case of sour grapes, her Conservative counterpart threw a temper tantrum over her sudden ascent, while her Liberal counterpart accused her of falsifying her nomination papers.
    ‘This is not a one-person job. I’m working very hard, and I’m learning.’
