Pauline Marois: Power

Quebec Dept: But that honour has come wrapped in an historic degree of restraint on her independence and practical power, according to The Chronicle Herald. Quebec voters have probably never given any premier less room to manoeuvre and less ability to implement her platform and p ARTI QU B COIS Leader Pauline Marois has won the historic distinction of becoming Quebec s first woman premier. Election day was also marred by a shooting that disrupted the premier-elect s victory speech and left one stage technician dead and another wounded. But she handled the tragedy calmly. None of the parties, rightly, are rushing to interpret one bathrobe-clad shooter, even one shouting the English are awakening, as evidence of rising political terrorism in Quebec.
