Pierre-Luc Dusseault Creates History becoming Youngest MP at 19Years

what can u possibly expect from a 19 year old boy ... Study, play,have fun with friends or dating what else ahem  may be strive to be successful.. or even do some job to get his  money to  spend... But today one man made history in the world of politics by winning the seat of member of parliament which is not a child's play. The duty filled with responsibilities is donned by none other than a 19 year old guy named Pierre-Luc Dusseault, here is the story of courageous,ambitious and responsible youngest politician.
Pierre-Luc Dusseault was born on May 1991 near Granby, his family was into a daycare administration and a warehouse management here in Granby . He did his secondary and elementary school at Magog, near Sherbrooke, and  he was pursuing applied politics at Université de Sherbrooke before being elected an MP.
Pierre is elected to the Canadian House of Commons in the 2011 federal election, becoming the youngest Member of Parliament and creating the history in politics.

Stating that he will now put aside his degree for now to concentrate full-time on his  work and pursue it later."The people of Sherbrooke elected me to be their representative and I’ll work full-time to represent them as best I can" he said in an interview, he also said he would pursue his education after his tenure as M.P

One would wonder who did NDP even know that just an 19 year old guy then was interested in politics,and made his stand against  Québécois MP Serge Cardin again this was answered by him in an inteview to press "I am associated with NDP since two years now,Since I became a member of the NDP –  I’ve been involved in the party. I’m president of the riding association and president and co-founder of the NDP student group at the Université de Sherbrooke. So this was not my first experience with the party. I was able to see how it works over several years".
His campaign started slowly until the university year ended and he hit the streets and parks later. He said people in his riding of Sherbrooke made it clear they wanted change which boosted him to work towards his victory.

Since he is the youngest MP in this Parliament, it’s clear that youth will be important forhim, he said he will cover education." It will be something that I will work on, like Churchill , Niki Ashton, who has already worked very hard on this. I’ll work with her to try and advance those files".

You would be interested to know Dessault voted for the first time, in this election.Though he is now in opposition ,Pierre says he will work towards the development  of the place he was elected by the people he thanked every one of them .

Lets wish this youngest MP to have a great future in the politics and let people of his Constituency feel proud for electing him, and hope he woks for their betterment, 

Become a Leader not a mere politician,Good Luck Pierre-Luc Dusseault

I hope I see the day when just plain being a Human Being is what everyone aspires to.

I have never considered myself a "This" or "That" politically, culturally, or nationally, and I never will.

I moved to Stanstead, Quebec about 5 years ago to be close to my children and grandchild - all in all, it has been a positive experience, but one thing which truly makes me sad is the language and culture issue.

I don't speak french and am too old and busy to learn more than the very basics; in dealing with most people here in this area and in Quebec in general, this hasn't been a problem at all. I was very fortunate to work for a company here in town where the owner who spoke very little english didn't see this as an issue at all when he hired me 4 years ago; unfortunately, the company closed last winter; I have a job now for which language is also not an issue.

But I saw a job posting recently for the new arena in Stanstead - it is general maintenance work, not administration in any way, with limited contact with the public, and yet fluency in both french and english is a mandatory requirement.

My husband and I are particularly sensitive to this because he has to work in Ontario for half they year and is gone from October to April because he can't find work in Quebec - like me, he doesn't speak french. There are plenty of jobs he could do, but the doors are simply closed.

Most people in Canada and North America, and even the majority of people in Quebec itself would never imagine that this strange situation exists - - it may shock Quebeckers especially, for me to say that government endorsed bigotry and racism has become woven into the fabric of living here.
At the same time, It is clear from the last election that the vast majority of people in Quebec are done with the Parti Quebecois and want to move into this century, where there is a deep longing and commitment among most people for unity and cooperation, and NOT to be divided by trivial and irrelevent matters such as the language we speak.

No matter what language we speak, we are saying the same things, feeling the same things, have the same needs, hopes, aspirations and dreams. What does language have to do with culture? This is like saying that if you speak a certain language, you are a good person, and if you don't, you are evil. And anyone who stops to think about it will ask, Do I want to nurture a culture which endorses intolerance and exclusion of other people, merely because they don't speak the same language?

The whole point is to communicate, the best way we can. How is it that people often meet who are from entirely different cultures, sometimes not even speaking the same language at all, and yet love one another?
How is it that a baby is born and speaks no language at all, and yet there is the most exquisite communication between that baby and its mother?
It is what is in the heart that is most important, and somehow, this always finds a way to get through.

I think it's time for a new referendum, to get down to the Heart of the matter of being a human being - not french, not english, not this and not that. Just a human being, which is what a new born child is - that is our only true nationality, our only true culture, our only true identity, and our only true language - the language of the Heart. "How" we express what is in the Heart is nowhere near as important as what is in our Heart.

For that matter, who cares which political party anyone belongs to?Time to abolish "parties" too, not entrench them any further - that would truly be a happy world for all!
