NDP MP Ruth Ellen Brosseau is not a graduate of St. Lawrence College, despite what her official biography on the NDP website says, an official at the school says.

According to her biography, Brosseau, 27, received a diploma in advertising and integrated marketing communications from St. Lawrence College in Kingston.

This, however, is not the case, according to an official at the college.

“This individual is not a graduate of St. Lawrence College,” said Gord MacDougall, vice-president of external affairs.

MacDougall didn’t comment on Brosseau’s time as a student, or how close she was to getting a diploma.

Have jumped to conclusions!

NDP apologizes for embellishing new MP's resumé

The NDP is apologizing to their most famous MP-elect for "inadvertently" embellishing her resumé.

The NDP's online biography of Ruth Ellen Brosseau, who won the Quebec riding of Berthier-Maskinongé without ever having set foot in it, says she "has a diploma in Advertising and Integrated Marketing Communications from St. Lawrence College in Kingston."

But the college says while she attended classes there, she didn't complete the course.

A spokeswoman for the NDP says Brosseau told them she studied at the community college in Kingston, Ont., but never said she had a diploma.

It appears that the NDP is not above gilding the lilly.

It would be fair to say that it is an untruth however.

2. Great. We know who the real enemy is, but let's circle the wagons and fire inward.

No wonder they win.

3. I like her

Don't know why.

Obviously she was supposed to be sacrificial lamb.

4. She didn't want the job, her friend just wrote her name down. Once she realized how much money she'd

make, she happily jumped on the ship. Can't wait for 4 more years to get rid of that ditz.
