Well that's interesting!
Serving a single term as the Liberal MP for Renfrew—Nipissing—Pembroke, Clouthier is known for wearing a fedora, and for his election slogan, "Give 'em Hec." He met U.S. President George W. Bush in Detroit at a border conference in 2002, and the president was smitten by his fedora, so he had one made and sent it to the White House. An avid marathoner, he has completed nearly 50 of them, and qualified for the Boston Marathon for the nineth time, at age 75.
