Canadian politician, accountant and lawyer born on march 9th
1937 in
Joliette,
Quebec. Member since
1970 of the famous separatist canadian party, the
Parti Québécois, Bernard Landry became Quebec's prime minister on march 8th
2001, succeeding
Lucien Bouchard.
He does have the qualification for being a prime minister, but sadly, being a
lawyer and an
accountant, his political alignment is unmistakably the
right. He's also giving an important place to his dream of winning the
Quebec independence battle, forgetting the real needs of his population.
