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.
Verchères is a provincial riding in the Montérégie region of Quebec, Canada. It corresponds exactly to the territory of Marguerite-D'Youville Regional County Municipality.
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 Achille Chagnon in Verchères, Lower Canada, the son of Hubert Chagnon and Marguerite Chagnon, and was educated at the Collège de l'Assomption. He married Philomène Dansereau in 1861. In 1872, he moved to Ware, Massachusetts. He was elected to the Quebec assembly in an 1879 by-election held after the election of Jean-Baptiste Brousseau was overturned. His election was declared invalid in 1881 after it was found that one of his supporters had resorted to bribery to win votes. [1] Larose died at Calixa-Lavallée at the age of 64.
The Province of Lower Canada was a British colony on the lower Saint Lawrence River and the shores of the Gulf of Saint Lawrence (1791–1841). It covered the southern portion of the current-day Province of Quebec, Canada, and the Labrador region of the modern-day Province of Newfoundland and Labrador.
Ware is a town in Hampshire County, Massachusetts, United States. The population was 9,872 at the 2010 census. It is part of the Springfield, Massachusetts Metropolitan Statistical Area.
Jean-Baptiste Brousseau was a lawyer, journalist and political figure in Quebec. He represented Verchères in the Legislative Assembly of Quebec from 1878 to 1879 as a Liberal.
