Major Canada and Philippe Couillard

Philippe Couillard: Philippe Couillard, his successor as Liberal leader, could easily be nicknamed Major Canada as he bids to become Quebec premier in Monday's election, according to Huffington Post. "We are Quebecers first but we are also proud to belong to the Canadian federation," he has said. "But beyond the numbers and the billions, it's first and foremost for us the choice of a model of citizenship that is the envy of the entire planet." Jean Charest was once dubbed Captain Canada for his impassioned speeches to federalist forces in the 1995 referendum campaign. Couillard has emerged as one of the most openly federalist Quebec politicians in generations, touting former prime minister Sir Wilfrid Laurier as an inspiration for his own party and extolling Canada as a financial powerhouse that benefits its citizens.
