QUEBEC CITY Prominent 19th-century French Canadian politician Louis-Joseph Papineau has been designated as a historical figure by Quebec Minister of Culture and Communications Nathalie Roy. To mark Quebec s National Patriots Day, minister Roy also announced a notice of intent to designate the Patriots monument in the Notre-Dame-des-Neiges cemetery in Montreal. With this designation and notice of classification, the Quebec Government wants to perpetuate the memory and legacy of individuals who played a significant role in Quebec s history and who helped forge the identity of its citizens. Louis-Joseph Papineau was one of the most influential politicians of his time and is considered the first true political leader of the French Canadians, to whom he dedicated his career, wrote Roy in a news release.
