Quebec Province of Canada

Quebec is one of the thirteen provinces and territories of Canada. It is bordered to the west by the province of Ontario and the bodies of water James Bay and Hudson Bay; to the north by Hudson Strait and Ungava Bay; to the east by the Gulf of Saint Lawrence and the province of Newfoundland and Labrador; and to the south by the province of New Brunswick and the U.S. states of Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, and New York. It also shares maritime borders with Nunavut, Prince Edward Island, and Nova Scotia. Quebec is Canada's largest province by area and its second-largest administrative division; only the territory of Nunavut is larger. It is historically and politically considered to be part of Central Canada.

Rouville was a provincial electoral district in the Montérégie region of Quebec, Canada.

The Legislative Assembly of Quebec was the name of the lower house of Quebec's legislature until December 31, 1968, when it was renamed the National Assembly of Quebec. At the same time, the upper house of the legislature, the Legislative Council, was abolished. Both were initially created by the Constitutional Act of 1791.

He was born in Sainte-Marie-de-Monnoir, Lower Canada, the son of Étienne Poulin and Charlotte Hébert, and was educated at the Collège de Saint-Hyacinthe. In 1854, he married Marcelline Vigeant. Poulin was president of the school board for Marieville from 1868 to 1871 and from 1881 to 1882. He was mayor of Sainte-Marie-de-Monnoir in 1882. He was defeated when he ran for reelection in 1886 and 1890 and again in Iberville in 1897. He died in Sainte-Marie-de-Monnoir at the age of 66.
