Gabriel Nadeau-Dubois (born May 31, 1990) is a Canadian politician from Montreal, Quebec.
He was elected as a member of the provincial legislative assembly on May 29, 2017 with Manon Massé as the co-spokesperson of Québec's left-wing party Québec solidaire since May 21, 2017.
He was known for his service as a co-spokesperson of the Coalition large de l'Association pour une solidarité Syndicale étudiante (CLASSE), a large group of student organizations protesting Jean Charest's government's tuition hike, which was controversial.
On August 9, 2012, he resigned from that position.
Early life
Gabriel Nadeau-Dubois was born in a family of activists: his parents were involved in the Jeunesse Étudiante Chrétienne (Young Christian Students). His father was also an environmental and union activist.
When he was younger, he and his dad went to marches and union assemblies, where he was supposed to do his homework but instead listened to the speeches. He became involved in politics and began to read La Presse in the hopes of becoming a foreign journalist.
He received good marks at the Collège Regina Assumpta, a private school in Montreal, but questioned everything, but he was not a student, according to his father, Gilles Dubois. When the school's leadership wanted to appoint student representatives, he opposed the decision, saying that students should elect them instead. The following year, his request was fulfilled.
Post-secondary student life
Gabriel Nadeau-Dubois joined the Association pour une syndicale étudiant (ASSÉ) as a student at Collège de Bois-de-Boulogne in Fall 2007. In a general assembly, the student association decided not to be affiliated with the ASSÉ this year. Nadeau-Dubois has unsuccessfully attempted to bring the student body of the ASSÉ back to the ASSÉ. Nevertheless, the student activist was still elected vice president of his student union and was in charge of external affairs.
He earned a humanities degree at Université du Québec à Montréal in 2009 (UQAM). He registered as a part-time student in order to concentrate on the student issues. He was given a Millennium Scholarship. He was elected as a member of the ASSÉ's newspaper committee during the 2010–2011 session. He was also elected as the Communications Secretary and spokesperson in April 2010. He and Jeanne Reynolds became a co-spokesperson of the ASSÉ's Coalition large (CLASSE), a large body of student organizations opposed to Jean Charest's government's decision to raise the A$625 tuition hike in December 2011.
Gabriel Nadeau-Dubois started with a degree in Humanities at UQAM and then enrolled in a minor in philosophy at Université de Montréal. He obtained a master's degree in sociology at UQAM at the end of 2016.
Nadeau-Dubois was one of the student's leaders since the 2012 student protests, as well as Léo Bureau-Blouin and Martine Desjardins (fr), if not the leader, despite being identified as spokespersons). Indeed, the CLASSE is based on direct democracy; it does not have leaders, but rather has spokespersons, of which Nadeau-Dubois was one of them, as well as Jeanne Reynolds.
Several rumors, personal assaults, and even five death threats a week, both on Twitter and by mail, this personification of the movement resulted in numerous rumors, personal attacks, and even five deadly assaults a week. He was then shielded by three or four bodyguards at protests.
He admitted in June that he was "psychologically ill" and that, although he'd seek a renewal of his term as a spokesperson at the CLASSE's congress, he'd resign his office as a spokesperson, citing "both internal and external pressure" as reasons for his departure. He characterized media coverage of him as "ironic," since he was the least influential of the three student union leaders but he was also the one who was watched the most by the media.
Nadeau-Dubois resigned from his position as a CLASSE spokesperson on August 9, 2012, as a result of the constant assaults on him. He wrote a letter resigning by Le Devoir, a left-leaning periodical, arguing that the strike campaign had prompted deeper questions and "questioned corrupt organizations." However, he regretted the fact that Jean Charest was still Premier [of Quebec], adding that his government was "the incarnation of injustice."
Jean-François Morasse, a visual arts student at Laval University, demanded and received an injunction from Justice Jean Hamelin of Quebec Superior Court against his student association in order to continue his studies. The student, who had his provisional injunction been suspended twice, was able to attend class. After hearing what he said to the television station RDI on May 13, he nevertheless refused to press charges of contempt of court against Gabriel Nadeau-Dubois.
Even though the injunction was no longer in place after Bill 78 was passed by the National Assembly on May 28, Article 32 of the special bill allows for contempt of court procedures to continue. Parti Québécois MNA Véronique Hivon referred to this article as the "Gabriel Nadeau-Dubois clause."
Morasse, who is pro bono for Maxime Roy Martel, has requested that Nadeau-Dubois be released a prison term. Nadeau-Dubois "incited some people not to obey the court's decision," the prosecutor, who was referred to by the Quebec Bar Association, said. And this incitation had a large audience because [Gabriel Nadeau-Dubois] has a lot of media attention." It is the first court lawsuit involving contempt of court relative to an injunction that was issued during the student demonstrations.
Gabriel Nadeau-Dubois, who has denied the charges, said the situation was "sad and regrettable." The trial of this lawsuit took place on September 27 and 28, 2012 at the Court of Quebec. On November 1, 2012, he was found guilty of contempt of court. Nadeau-Dubois initiated Appel à tous ("appeal to everyone") to raise funds to appeal the decision on December 2, in the hopes of appealing the decision. Justice Denis Jacques ordered Nadeau-Dubois to 120 hours of community service on December 5, but his term was suspended until his appeal was decided.
Quebec's Court of Appeal overturned the decision in January 2015. Three justices were found for Nadeau-Dubois, who had been cleared.
Morasse appealed the decision to the Supreme Court of Canada. Justices Clément Gascon and Rosalie Abella said in October, 2016, writing for the majority, that picketing does not correspond to blocking classes, the latter being in violation of the injunction.
Career
Nadeau-Dubois has stated that he was not interested in being a politician in the past. He said that the best way to get social justice and free education is to engage in political movements. He told a journalist in March 2012 that partisan politics discouraged him from being involved.
Nadeau-Dubois was hired by CSN-Construction on a salary basis shortly after quitting as a CLASSE spokesperson. His work mainly consisted of study into the earliest of collective deals in the building industry.
In a world where access to post-secondary education is equal, he was given the Prix impératif français in 2013.
In 2014, he received the Governor General's Award for French-language non-fiction for Tenir tête, a memoir of 2012's events. On September 23, 2014, he announced on the popular Quebec television show Tout le monde en vie, that he had donated his $25,000 Governor's Award money to combat the Energy East pipeline project, as well as raising a further $385,000 to promote the campaign against the scheme, which is funded by TransCanada Pipelines and would transport oil sands bitumen from Eastern Canada to foreign markets.
In March 2017, Nadeau-Dubois decided to request the nomination of Québec's co-spokesperson and also its candidate in the Montreal riding of Gouin, which was previously unoccupied by Françoise David. Québec Solidaire is a left-wing socialist party that also supports Quebec sovereignty. With Option nationale, another nationalist and left-wing faction, being the only party with a worldview, he said that the Parti Québécois and Liberals were his rivals. Option nationale developed into Québec solidaire later this year.
On May 29, 2017, Nadeau-Dubois gained the byelection and became the MNA for Gouin. Nadeau-Dubois took Gouin for Québec solidaire in the Quebec general election of October 1, 2018. He is the party's current parliament leader.
