Well that's interesting!
Taken from the Bulletin de l'Amicale (ex-parliamentarians of Quebec) from Fall 2010: "We, his friends, called him 'Mister Potato' because he was a farmer in his riding of Mégantic-Compton and was recognized as a major potato producer... But to our taste, we found that he did not speak much and especially not in the National Assembly. But then one evening during the session, oh miracle! Joseph-Omer Dionne got up and finally spoke. For about 45 minutes, our silent farmer gave everyone a real university course on the history and cultivation of potatoes. He received a standing ovation from all the parliamentarians present, without exception."
