Source-derived summary

Clementina Teti-Tomassi is a Canadian politician. She was previously a member of Montreal City Council, and represented the Marie-Clarac ward in the borough of Montréal-Nord. She was first elected in the 2005 municipal election, for the ward's borough council seat. She was elected again in the 2009 municipal election, this time for the Marie-Clarac city council seat.

She is married to Tony Tomassi, a former member of the National Assembly of Quebec. When her husband was implicated in an ethical scandal which resulted in his suspension from the Quebec Liberal Party caucus in 2011, both mayor Gérald Tremblay and civic opposition leader Louise Harel expressed public confidence in Teti-Tomassi, agreeing that she should not be assumed guilty by association. After Mayor Gérald Tremblay resigned amid corruption allegations revealed during the Charbonneau Commission and the resulting political upheaval at city hall, Teti-Tomassi left Union Montréal and served the remainder of her term as an Independent. She did not seek re-election in the 2013 municipal election.

Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

“Clementina Teti-Tomassi” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Clementina, Teti-Tomassi and Canadian provides the most credible route into that argument.

Evidence profile

Biographical claims are most persuasive when dates, appointments and relationships can be traced to records created close to the events described. The source revision retrieved here is dated Apr 19, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q5131489. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2005, 2009, 2011 and 2013.

Critical limits

Later biographies can compress uncertainty and repeat inherited reputations, so apparently settled claims may still require comparison. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
