Politics in Verdun

Ferland's right arm and nose were damaged in the attack but he was otherwise ok. The three assailants had been wandering around Verdun on election day wielding hammers. Gavigan - I'm assuming it's him on the left - looks like his aggressivity might've been compensating for the fact that he appears to be a Boy George predecessor. The three were apparently hardened criminals with police records (Regatta De Blanc?- Chimples) as long as your arm. Ferland served as Verdun mayor from 1933 to 1939 and was succeeded by Edward Wilson who ruled the seductive riverside municipality for 21 years.
