MONTREAL — A Quebec City lawyer says the federal New Democratic Party has dumped her as a candidate because she is transgendered.
Micheline Montreuil claims an NDP official told her the party has had a tough time attracting new candidates in the province because of her sexuality.

This is Micheline Montreuil, she's a real ->-bleeped-<- stirer.
She's not beloved in the Quebec TS community because
of the image she presents.
I can believe it when they say she can't work in teams.
She's not a good political candidate.
She's a lawyer with a very manly voice and seemingly loves
to see herself in the media. She sues on a continuous basis!!
For once, she'll lose in court because they had a right to not
accept someone who cannot represent their values
and who's basically NOT a people person no matter
how she looks (and believe me, that's another issue...).
Her hair looks like they've never seen conditioner ever...

Unfortunately, some of the total self-promoters haven't got a redeeming feature at all, and then scream prejudice at the first opportunity.
