Log Cabin Chronicles Peter Black's Quebec's Big Money Pope Column The Mouvement Desjardins, otherwise known as les caisses populaires, is in the process of picking a new boss, just in time to lead centennial celebrations for the once humble, now mighty credit union network founded by former journalist and House of Commons Hansard scribe Alphonse Desjardins on December 6, 1900. It's not exactly like choosing a new Pope, but historically speaking the elevation of a mortal to the top office of the Mouvement Desjardins is not without its religious significance; for he who is chairman of the Caisse is in effect the head of what once was the financial branch of Quebec's Roman Catholic Church. In December, a congress of mouvement members voted overwhelmingly to cross the Rubicon and transform the caisse into a more streamlined banking institution by forming one big caisse from the constellation of federations. www.tomifobia.com /qcpope.html   (746 words)
