Serge Cardin, born on July second, nineteen fifty, is a prominent figure in Quebec's political landscape. He began his career as a city councillor in Sherbrooke, serving from nineteen eighty-six until nineteen ninety-eight. His journey in politics took a significant turn when he became a member of the Bloc Québécois, representing the federal riding of Sherbrooke from nineteen ninety-eight to two thousand eleven.
In the two thousand eleven Canadian federal election, Cardin faced a challenging defeat against Pierre-Luc Dusseault, a young university student who made history as the youngest Member of Parliament ever elected in Canada. However, Cardin's political career saw a resurgence in the two thousand twelve Quebec election, where he successfully unseated the incumbent Premier, Jean Charest, marking a notable achievement in his career.
Despite his earlier success, Cardin's tenure as a member of the National Assembly of Quebec for the Sherbrooke electoral district was short-lived. He was defeated by Liberal candidate Luc Fortin in the two thousand fourteen Quebec election. Throughout his career, Cardin has balanced his political endeavors with his profession as a chartered accountant, showcasing his diverse skill set and commitment to public service.
