Jacques Ferron

Jacques Ferron (1921-1985), born in Louiseville, practised medicine in the Gaspé from 1946 to 1948, then in Ville Jacques-Cartier, in the poor districts of Montreal's south shore. A candidate of the Co-operative Commonwealth Federation in the federal elections of 1958, he founded the Rhinoceros Party in 1963, which mocked federal politics until 1993. At the end of 1970, he acted as intermediary for the surrender of the Chénier cell of the Front de libération du Québec. He died in Saint-Lambert at the age of sixty-four.
