Forget Ruth Ellen Brosseau. How About the Phantom Jim Hillyer?

After all the fuss over Ruth Ellen Brousseau not campaigning and fluffing her resume, the Conservatives have at least one new MP that few saw, or even had proof existed.

But they voted for him simply because he was Conservative.

‘Man Who Wasn’t There’ surfaces in Ottawa as newly minted Conservative MP

And while Brousseau's resume only suggested that she had graduated from St. Lawrence, when in fact she was two credits short, Hillyer's is almost a complete work of fiction.

I've never seen an election where so many people, got so much, for doing so little.

Welcome to democracy Canadian style.
