| Description | OTTAWA (CP) - English Canada's enduring image of Bloc Quebecois Leader Gilles Duceppe is of him wearing a hairnet in a cheese factory in the 1997 election campaign.
At the time, Duceppe was viewed as an inexperienced leader who didn't inspire much confidence. That image also didn't escape the sharp pens of Quebec editorial cartoonists.
Ten years later, Duceppe is celebrating a decade as leader of the separatist party and is firmly installed as its leader.
"It has left its mark," Duceppe said of the infamous hairnet photo.
"People were saying he will not be able to get over that; it's impossible to make a second first impression," the Bloc leader said in an interview with The Canadian Press. |
