About Maurice Bellemare

Maurice Bellemare, was a politician in Quebec, Canada. He was known as Le Vieux Lion de la Politique Québécoise because of his colourful style and his many years of public office. Bellemare was one of the last survivors of the Union Nationale party. He was a member of the Union nationale and first was elected in the 1944 provincial election at the age of 32, when Maurice Duplessis was put back in office as Premier of Quebec. Bellemare remained in the Cabinet until the Liberals won a majority in the 1960 election. In 1966, the Union Nationale won a majority of seats to the legislature, even though they received fewer votes than the Liberals and Daniel Johnson Sr. became Premier.
