Brome-Missisquoi: Jacques-Antoine Normandin===
Jacques-Antoine Normandin (born June 17, 1951) was an activist with the
Bloc Québécois in
Pierrefonds—Dollard before running for office himself. In the 2008 provincial election, he claimed to be exempt from paying taxes by virtue of having renounced his citizenship. He advocated a tax exemption for other "dissidents" and a common law bar to compete with the official
Bar of Quebec. His agent was later fined for not filing an election expenses report. He received 173 votes (0.57%), finishing sixth against
Liberal Party incumbent
Pierre Paradis. ===
Jean-Lesage: José Breton===
José Breton has a
Bachelor's Degree in Physical Education from
Université Laval (1985). He has run for the
Quebec National Assembly four times as an independent candidate. By his own acknowledgement, he did not have any specific message to convey in the 1985 election. More recently, he has campaigned as an "anti-diet" candidate. Describing himself as an activist against the "thinness industry," Breton argues that the threat of
obesity has been greatly exaggerated in modern western societies. In 1998, he called for the provincial health system to eliminate medical consultations about obesity for aesthetic purposes. His slogan in 2008 was, "Les femmes au gros derrière sont les plus sexy." In 2007, Breton called for voters in other electoral divisions to support the
Action démocratique du Québec. ===
