Today's controversy over the old party membership cards burning a rather black hole in NDP interim leader Nycole Turmel's wallet provides an opportunity to pull together some links to past coverage of the new NDP MPs from Quebec -- stories that mention some degree of support/sympathy for the sovereigntist cause, and/or support for parties that champion Quebec independence.
Here are the ones I've seen. What have I missed?
Alexandre Boulerice (Rosemont-La-Petite-Patrie) (also this)
Pierre-Luc Dusseault (Sherbrooke)
Alexandrine Latendresse (Louis-Saint-Laurent)
Dany Morin (Chicoutimi-Le Fjord)
Marc-Andre Morin (Laurentides-Labelle)
Marie-Claude Morin (Sainte-Hyacinthe-Bagot)
Claude Patry (Jonquière-Alma)
Romeo Saganash (Abitibi-Baie-James-Nunavik-Eeyou)
*The news story linked here notwithstanding, as noted in the comments below, Saganash's views on rights for the Cree in northern Quebec do not mean he supports Quebec sovereignty. In fact, he argued forcefully against separating Quebec from the rest of Canada.
