Quebecor Media Inc. and Pierre Karl Peladeau

Pierre Karl Peladeau: The arrival Sunday of Pierre Karl Peladeau, the multi-millionaire owner of Quebecor Media Inc. TSX:QBR.B , was aimed at providing an immediate boost to the PQ's efforts to eliminate doubts it can be a good economic manager, according to Huffington Post. Over the years, Peladeau, who hails from a prominent family, became even more of a household name through his long relationship with Quebec TV star and producer Julie Snyder, a union that recently ended and The Parti Quebecois's stunning addition of one of Canada's most-powerful media tycoons has brought a towering figure to the party ranks, a recruit who could help win a majority government and serve as a leader in any eventual quest for Quebec independence. But Peladeau, 52, also gives PQ leader Pauline Marois a charismatic candidate with a celebrity-like status in the province. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
