Pendant toute la campagne électorale québécoise, Jean Lapierre mènera sa propre campagne dans toutes les régions du Québec.

  Jean Lapierre - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Lapierre was appointed to cabinet as a junior minister and his tenure was brief as Turner called an election four days after being sworn in, which the Liberals lost.
Lapierre was a strong proponent of the Meech Lake Accord, while Turner and Martin also expressed support for it, though Trudeau publicly campaigned against it and his protege Chrétien was later revealed to oppose it as well.
Lapierre was expected to deliver the vote in Québec, but in the wake of the sponsorship scandal, this was a difficult task as it severely hurt the party's support especially in that province, while the rival Bloc Québécois skyrocketed in the polls.

Jean Lapierre was instrumental in the creation of the Bloc Quà ©bà ©cois, yet that was no barrier to him joining Martin’s cabinet and serving as the government’s Quebec Lieutenant.
Although Jean’s statement last week said she never “belonged to a political party or the separatist movement’, the same thing could be said by a lot of people who supported and voted for separation.
Jean was unfamiliar to English Canada and it’s possible that Martin didn’t expect the media to closely scrutinize the appointment of a fellow journalist.

 Incoming GG is an FLQ sympathizer : Thunderbay IMC
Jean and her husband were sovereigntists, many persons believed that,'' said Gilles Rheaume, president of the Quebec-based organization against Canadian corruption and propaganda and a former president of the Societe St-Jean Baptiste.
But Transport Minister Jean Lapierre, who co-founded the sovereigntist Bloc Quebecois before returning to the Liberals under Martin, said Jean was nominated for her strong qualities.
The controversy arose after the release of an article in Le Quebecois, the voice of the province's sovereignty watchdogs, said sovereigntists were disappointed by Jean's appointment as Adrienne Clarkson's replacement in September because Jean and Lafond were considered sympathetic to the cause.

Lapierre defended his actions, saying he can't be considered a lobbyist because he never received any remuneration for setting up meetings.

Lapierre then made the cause of Quebec sovereignty his own as he joined the rump that became the Bloc Quebecois in 1990.
Duceppe’s decision spells bad news for the Martinistas, who were hoping for leadership races in both sovereigntists parties (and if the editorialist fools in the National Post today had their way, there would be three leadership races).
Lapierre’s premature reaction to the news that Duceppe might be staying in Ottawa can only be seen as one last ditch effort to prick Duceppe’s pride into equivocating.

 Michaelle Jean, a great Canadian
Then some Quebec sovereigntists have been saying that Jean and her husband are one of them (or should that be two of them?).
It didn’t seem to matter to Martin’s media flunky that no one was smearing her; they merely want to know whether she is in favour of the country that she is about to become head of state of, remaining together — a perfectly logical request under the circumstances.
Canada is a country where politicians such as Jean Lapierre can change from a federalist party to a separatist party and then back again quicker than Eric Lindros can change hockey teams.

Jean, however, along with her immediate predecessor, is entirely beholden to the Liberal Party and is an enthusiastic proponent of its ongoing leftist social re-engineering project, but with the Boulanger article, her connections may offer reasons for more serious concerns.
"Michaelle Jean et les felquistes (Michaelle Jean and the F.L.Q.)," documents the ties that linked the soon-to-be Governor General and her film-maker husband, Jean-Daniel Lafond with the FLQ whose bomb-throwing, robbing, kidnapping and murdering career disturbed the peace in Quebec and this Dominion, thirty-five years ago.
Half of all Canadians are not yet 40 and modern methods of teaching history and civics precludes the kind of objectivity that would raise a cloud of alarm at the appointment to the highest office in the land of a woman with such connections.
