Jean-Pierre Hogue

Jean-Pierre Hogue (24 November 1927 – 17 June 2012) was a member of the House of Commons of Canada from 1988 to 1993. He was born in Montreal, Quebec. By career, he was a psychologist, professor and writer.

Political career

He was elected in the 1988 federal election at the Outremont electoral district for the Progressive Conservative Party. It was speculated that he won due to the support of ultra-conservative Hasidic Jews abandoning Liberal incumbent Lucie Pépin due to her support for abortion.[1] He was the first non-Liberal Member of Parliament elected since the riding's creation in 1935. He served in the 34th Canadian Parliament until the 1993 federal election, at which time he was heavily defeated by Liberal Martin Cauchon. Hogue only finished third, with just under nine percent of the vote.

Hogue was the guest speaker at the 47th Annual Serbian Day on 28 June 1992 in Niagara Falls, Ontario.[2]

gollark: Do you *know* about templates?
gollark: Why is that a macro and not a template?
gollark: But implementing page aliases and better link case insensitivity would be quite difficult and either be slow or require two pass rendering.
gollark: Anyway, running minoteaur ""at scale"" has shown me that people actually do want "index/recent changes/general purpose discovery thing", so I need to work out how to do that decently, and also the case-insensitivity thing works poorly in some situations and people want aliases/redirects.
gollark: Fascinating.
