Jean Blanchet
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This article is about the Quebec MLA. For the 18th century physician and politician in Canada East, see Jean Blanchet (physician).
Jean Blanchet (February 10, 1843 – December 11, 1908) served as Conservative leader of the Opposition in the Legislative Assembly of Quebec from 1890 to 1891.
He became leader of the Opposition after Conservative leader Louis-Olivier Taillon failed to win a seat in losing the 1890 Quebec election. He was appointed a judge on September 19, 1891 and left his seat and the post of leader of the Opposition.
Later that same year, the Liberal government of Honoré Mercier was deposed by the Lieutenant Governor and the Conservative Charles-Eugène Boucher de Boucherville became Premier.
Jean Blanchet represented the riding of Beauce from 1881 to 1892.
