Caron, other than being a synonym to a more well-known hockey goaltender, is a partner at Heenan-Blaikie, a law firm (Jean Chr\u00e9tien is working there since his retirement as Prime Minister). Caron is also running in Laurier\u2014Sainte-Marie, Gilles Duceppe&#8217;s riding. NDP candidate Fran\u00e7ois Gr\u00e9goire is a teacher at Coll\u00e8ge \u00c9douard-Montpetit on the South Shore, finished second in the 2006 general election, 2,000 votes in front of the Liberal candidate, but 18,000 short of Duceppe.<\/p>\n<p>Back to Caron, you will find a &#8220;series&#8221; of signs like this one, on Ren\u00e9-L\u00e9vesque facing La Maison de Radio-Canada (Beaudry Metro).
