Patricia Métivier

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Patricia Métivier is a resident of Montreal and an obscur perennial candidate in Canadian politics.

[edit] Background

Listed over the years as an accountant, a researcher or a TV announcer, [1] she ran in at least 25 elections from 1972 to 2001. Most of the time, she would not get a score superior to 2.5% of the vote.

Apparently though, she has not come even close to break the record for the most elections contested, established by once political rival John C. Turmel from Ottawa. Both Turmel and Métivier contested the same election in the district of Frontenac in 1980.

Information on what was said or written by Métivier in the past is very scarce. [2]
