Catherine Pinhas

Catherine Pinhas: In her very first interview, over dinner at Crescendo, an Italian restaurant overlooking the St. Lawrence River in the working class borough of Verdun, southeast of Montreal, Catherine Pinhas, says Canadians dont know that her husband is a sweet guy. Seated next to him, she describes a man who cares for people, visits friends at the hospital and has earned the long-time loyalty of his staff, according to Huffington Post. They see him as a big brute which is totally false. I could never be with a brute, she says, her brown eyes flashing. He is nice, he is kind. ...That, I would like people to know, she says, grabbing his hand tenderly. He smiles at her and VERDUN, Que. NDP Leader Thomas Mulcair may come across as an angry, bullheaded and intransigent figure, but his wife wants you to know he is a really kind man even if he doesnt always show it. After a complicated order, substituting Mulcairs vegetable soup for another tomato juice, ensuring that Pinhass meal has no bell peppers, asking that she can have the arugula salad on special without ordering the $29 Table d H te and that the Boston cod for both has no breading, Pinhas says Mulcair is one of the best people she knows.
