Information about the candidates in suburban communities

Saint-Leonard

Équipe du renouveau de la cité de Saint-Léonard
  • Pierre Paquet (Ward Ten) was a Montreal lawyer during the 1980s. He was elected to council in 1982 in his first bid for public office. When the Équipe du renouveau dissolved in 1984, he joined Raymond Renaud's Ralliement de Saint-Léonard, but was dropped from that party's list before 1986 election amid disputed circumstances. Renaud said that Paquet had been largely inactive on council, while Paquet said he had been blocked for asking too many serious questions.[2]
Union municipale de Saint-Léonard
  • Eduardo di Bennardo (Ward Six) was elected to the Saint-Leonard city council in 1978 as a candidate of the Parti de l'alliance municipale. He was defeated in 1982, running for Union municipal.
  • Claude Beriault (Ward Ten) appears to have been a first-time candidate.

  3. Gendron ran for mayor of Longueuil in 1982 and 1987. During the latter campaign, he was described in the Montreal Gazette as a 49-year-old theatrical production company owner. See James Mennie, "Voters choose mayor Sunday in Longueuil," Montreal Gazette, May 28, 1987, I1. A candidate named Jacques Gendron ran for the House of Commons of Canada in Longueuil as an independent candidate and finished fifth against Liberal Jacques Olivier with 4,548 votes (9.17%); this was presumably the same person. A different Jacques Gendron ran as a candidate of the Canadian Alliance in the 2000 Canadian federal election and for the Quebec Liberal Party in the 2014 provincial election and has twice sought election to Montreal City Council.
