Well that's interesting!
Robillard was the first francophone elected to the Ontario legislature. A Conservative, he defeated his own brother, the Liberal Alexandre Robillard. Honoré represented Russell for one term (1883 to 1886), and then served two terms as the City of Ottawa MP (1887 to 1896), while Alexandre succeeded Honoré in Russell in 1886. (Either the Liberals and the Conservatives were practically interchangeable back then, or discussions often got heated in this family!)
