Household Income Dept: Trudeau won Papineau narrowly in 2008, when he defeated Bloc Qu b cois incumbent Vivian Barbot, a popular community organizer whose Haitian roots are an asset in the riding with a large immigrant Haitian population, according to Montreal Gazette. "It's going to be close," Trudeau said this week of the race. "Barbot is strong. She's popular." The federal riding that Justin Trudeau is trying to hold on to in the May 2 election is the smallest in Canada in terms of physical size and also the poorest, in terms of household income. Now Barbot is fighting to get the seat back. Barbot won 16,517 votes in 2008, compared with Trudeau's 17,447. As
reported in the news.
