Well that's interesting!
Member of the Union nationale, Johnson died in office while he was the premier of Québec. Two of his sons became premier after him, but for different parties: first Pierre-Marc for the Parti Québécois from October 3 to December 2, 1985, then Daniel for the Québec Liberal Party from January 11 to September 11, 1994. Wouldn't it be interesting to be a fly on the wall during that family's Christmas dinner?
