About Pauline Marois:
Pauline Marois was leader of the Parti Québécois (2007–2014). On September 4, 2012, Marois led her party to minority victory in the Quebec general election, thus becoming the first female premier in the province's history. However, her party was defeated 19 months later in the 2014 Quebec general election, an election that she herself had called. Marois was personally defeated in the riding of Charlevoix–Côte-de-Beaupré and announced her resignation as PQ leader. Her electoral defeat marked the shortest stay of any Quebec provincial government since the Canadian Confederation and the lowest showing for the PQ since its first general election in 1970.
Never, never, will I accept, on issues of integrity, comparisons with the Liberal party.
Pauline MaroisCynicism lost and hope won. For the first time, the government of Quebec will be led by a woman.
