Well that's interesting!
One of the few créditistes able to speak English, Rondeau's political career came to an end in 1977 when he was charged and convicted of unemployment insurance fraud, for which he was sentenced to a five-month prison term. Sitting as an independent MP for the remainder of his term, he came in a distant third when he tried to get re-elected in 1979.
