Ruth Ellen Brosseau Biography

Ruth Ellen Brosseau is one of the most popular and richest Politician who was born on April 26, 1984 in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. Brosseau was named the NDP critic for Agriculture and Food in the 42nd Canadian Congress.

Brosseau started working with Kathleen Monk (the NDP’s director for communication in 2011) immediately after her election to address some of the issues she faced as a new member of parliament. To get to know her new constituents, she avoided the media and met with local mayors and business owners in her riding. Monk stated that there were many people in politics and the media who didn’t want Monk to succeed.

On April 19, 2012, Brosseau was named deputy agriculture critic in the NDP’s shadow cabinet, and on April 3, 2014, she was elected as vice-chair of the NDP National Caucus.

In 2014, Brosseau announced that she would be a candidate in the 2015 federal election. Speaking with Mark Kennedy of the Ottawa Citizen, Brosseau spoke about the difficulties she faced during her first years as an MP, but noted, “It took a while to kind of get my feet planted, set up an office, learn what the job was. The negativity only encouraged me to work harder.” While the NDP’s Quebec caucus was reduced to 16 seats during the election, Brosseau was one of the few NDP MPs elected in 2011 who not only kept their seats, but also increased their vote share, winning re-election with 42% of the vote (almost 3% more than her first election) and almost 10,000 votes over her nearest opponent. The New York Times attributed Brosseau’s reelection to her focus on the pyrrhotite issue.

Brosseau’s constituency office was officially opened in Louiseville by Brosseau in July 2011. Her French was still “still hesitant” Most accounts indicate that it had significantly improved by December. The Canadian Press reported in April 2012 that the original claims she made about her French proficiency were exaggerated. It stated that the rumours that she wasn’t fluent in French had been a benefit to her. Many constituents believed that she was monolingual anglophone and were impressed by her rapidly improving French. Brosseau stated that she was born in France and learned French during her childhood. However, she did not feel confident speaking French during the campaign as she had not been able to practice it for a while. Brosseau was described by Chatelaine as fluently bilingual in 2015. TVA Nouvelles stated that she could speak French “almost without accent” by 2015.
