Well that's interesting!
In what was dubbed the "NDP breakthrough" in Atlantic Canada in the 1997 federal election, Vautour won what was considered the safest Liberal seat in New Brunswick — so safe that Jean Chrétien had run for it in a December 1990 by-election after he had become leader. Except that, to everyone's surprise, Vautour defeated Dominic LeBlanc, son of Roméo-Adrien, former minister and Governor General at the time. But then she had a falling out with the NDP and joined the Progressive Conservatives in September 1999. Her constituents didn't follow her, and LeBlanc handily defeated her in the 2000 federal election.
