Well that's interesting!
When Lévesque, a New Brunswick Liberal, ran for re-election in Madawaska-Les-Lacs in 1974, he lost to Jean-Pierre Ouellet, the Progressive Conservative candidate, by only 95 votes. The Parti acadien candidate received 99 votes which were generally accepted as being from traditional Liberal supporters.
