Well that's interesting!
Leblanc is one of those politicians whose allegiance can be said to be fluid. First elected as the MP for Longueuil in the 1984 federal Progressive Conservative wave, he was among those who joined the Bloc Québécois after the implosion of the Meech Lake Accord in June 1990. From shortly before the 1997 general election in which he did not run, he sat as an independent sovereignist. He then attempted to return to Parliament in 2000 under the Canadian Alliance banner, coming a distant third. He again came in third when attempting to enter provincial politics, this time under the banner of the Québec Liberal Party.
