Well that's interesting!
LaMarsh was the MP for Niagara Falls from 1960 to 1968. When it became clear after the first round of voting at the Liberal leadership convention that Paul Hellyer could not win, she urged him to throw his support to another can­di­date in order to stop Pierre Trudeau. Unbeknownst to her, her words uttered on the floor of the con­ven­tion hall were broadcast live over CBC Television: "Paul, you've got to go to Winters. Don't let that bastard win it, Paul — he isn't even a Liberal!"
