Well that's interesting!
Well before his first election in 1957 as mayor of Montréal, Drapeau was twice a candidate for the Bloc populaire canadien: once federally in the 1942 by-election in Outremont, and once provincially in the 1944 Québec general election in Montréal—Jeanne-Mance. His second term as mayor of Montréal ran from October 24, 1960 to November 9, 1986.
