Narcisse-Édouard Cormier (May 27, 1847 – February 18, 1906) was a merchant and political figure in Quebec. He represented Ottawa electoral district in the Legislative Assembly of Quebec from 1886 to 1887 as a Conservative.
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.
Ottawa was the name of a former provincial electoral district in the Outaouais region of Quebec, Canada. It was located in the part of Quebec across the Ottawa River from the city of Ottawa, Ontario.
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 Saint-Calixte-de-Somerset, Canada East, the son of Olivier Cormier and Emmérence Beaubien. Cormier lived in New Hampshire from 1861 until 1867, when he moved to Aylmer, Quebec and established himself there as a lumber merchant and grocer. Cormier owned a sawmill in Aylmer and a lumber yard in Petawawa, Ontario. He was chief fishing and game warden for west Quebec. He also founded a zoo in Aylmer. He was married twice: to Sophie-Agnès Bourgeau in 1869 and later to Mary Elizabeth Reilly. Cormier was president of the school board and of the local Saint-Jean-Baptiste Society. He served as mayor of Aylmer from 1884 to 1887 and was warden for Ottawa County in 1887. Cormier defeated Alfred Rochon in 1886 to win a seat in the Quebec assembly but the election was overturned and Rochon defeated Cormier in elections held in 1887 and 1890. Cormier died in Aylmer at the age of 57.
Plessisville, Quebec is a county seat of L'Érable Regional County Municipality, Quebec, Canada. Routes 116 and 165 go through it. The city is 185 km from Montreal and 95 km from Quebec City. Plessisville's claim to fame is as the "World's Maple Capital"; the city has hosted an annual Maple festival since 1958, and the Institut québécois de l'érable is headquartered there. The production of maple syrup and maple products is a major industry in the entire area, even giving the regional county municipality its name.
Canada East was the northeastern portion of the United Province of Canada. Lord Durham's Report investigating the causes of the Upper and Lower Canada Rebellions recommended merging those two colonies. The new colony, known as the Province of Canada was created by the Act of Union 1840 passed by the Parliament of the United Kingdom, having effect in 1841. For administrative purposes, the new Province was subdivided into Canada West and Canada East. The former name of "Lower Canada" came back into official use in 1849, and as of the Canadian Confederation of 1867, it formed the newly created province of Quebec.
New Hampshire is a state in the New England region of the northeastern United States. It is bordered by Massachusetts to the south, Vermont to the west, Maine and the Atlantic Ocean to the east, and the Canadian province of Quebec to the north. New Hampshire is the 5th smallest by area and the 10th least populous of the 50 states. Concord is the state capital, while Manchester is the largest city in the state. It has no general sales tax, nor is personal income taxed at either the state or local level. The New Hampshire primary is the first primary in the U.S. presidential election cycle. Its license plates carry the state motto, "Live Free or Die". The state's nickname, "The Granite State", refers to its extensive granite formations and quarries.
