Pierre Lapointe (died April 12, 2008) was a municipal politician in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. He served on the Montreal city council from 1998 until his death, originally as a member of Vision Montreal (VM) and later with the Montreal Island Citizens Union (MICU). Lapointe was the brother of provincial politician Lisette Lapointe and the brother-in-law of her husband, Jacques Parizeau, who served as premier of Quebec from 1994 to 1996.〔Linda Gyulai, "Record-Breaking Lapointe victorious," ''Montreal Gazette'', 27 March 2007, B4.〕 ==Political career== Lapointe was first elected to city council in the 1998 municipal election for the Fleury division. Vision Montreal won a council majority in this cycle, and Lapointe was a backbench supporter of Mayor Pierre Bourque's administration for the next three years. He was re-elected for the redistributed Ahuntsic division in the 2001 election; Vision Montreal was defeated by MICU, and he subsequently served as a member of the opposition. Lapointe crossed the floor to join MICU on December 12, 2003.〔Sue Montgomery, "Tremblay gets six new councillors," ''Montreal Gazette'', 13 December 2003, A8.〕 In February 2004, he was elected to MICU's executive committee as one of three members representing the elected party caucus.〔Linda Gyulai, "Mayor's party fundraises for campaign," ''Montreal Gazette'', 22 February 2003, A3.〕 He was re-elected under his new party's banner in the 2005 campaign. By virtue of holding his seat on city council, Lapointe also served as a member of the Ahuntsic-Cartierville borough council following the 2001 election. He died of cancer on April 12, 2008.〔(Martine Frégeau, "Ahuntsic-Cartierville honorera la mémoire de Pierre Lapointe" ), ''Courier Ahuntsic/Bordeaux-Cartierville'', 15 April 2008, accessed 5 February 2013; (André Duchesne, "Les grands disparus de 2008" ) ''La Presse'', 22 December 2008, accessed 5 February 2013.〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Pierre Lapointe (Montreal politician)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
