An interesting group to say the least..

Mathieu Ravignat — Pontiac
A karate instructor, who is also a social sciences researcher specializing in aboriginal and environmental issues with the federal government, shockingly unseated Conservative Foreign Affairs Minister Lawrence Cannon in the Quebec riding of Pontiac on election night. Ravignat is known for environmental activist and is one of the founders of a union representing students employed at the University of Ottawa. A self-proclaimed medieval weapons enthusiast, Ravignat advocated better pensions for forestry workers.
This also isn't his first foray into federal politics. In 1997, he ran as a candidate for the Communist Party.
