'Media mogul Pierre Karl Péladeau will run as the Parti Québécois candidate in the riding of Saint-Jérôme.
PQ leader Pauline Marois confirmed Péladeau’s candidacy at a news conference Sunday morning.
The move reverses Péladeau’s earlier assertions that he would not run for public office.
Péladeau is one of Quebec’s most prominent business leaders, having occupied positions including President and CEO of Vidéotron and CEO of Quebecor, the company founded by his father, Pierre Péladeau.'

Interesting...the owner of the Calgary Sun is now running for the PQ, and wants Quebec to be its own country. Wonder how that is going to sit with local sun readership.
