Summary edit
| Description |
English: This statue of Maurice Duplessis (1890-1959) is at the back of a small garden situated along Rue Bonaventure between the Cathedral and Place Pierre-Boucher. Duplessis was a Trifleuvien who was prime minister of Québec from 1936-1939 (a Trifleuvien is a person who was born or who has resided a long time in Trois-Rivières).
When we visited Trois-Rivières on 4 June 2015, this and other flags were at half mast. In fact they were like that all over Québec Province. It was a mark of respect to an important Québecois politician, Jacques Parizeau, who had died on the 1st of June. He was born in Montréal in 1930 of a very wealthy family, spent time in Europe as a young man where he gained a PhD from the London School of Economics and further degrees from Parisian institutions. He was leader of the Parti Quebecois from 1987-1996 and, like Duplessis, served as Prime Minister of the Province – in his case from 1994-1996. |
