It’s said that sunlight is the best disinfectant, and Quebec’s Parti Québécois Leader Paul St-Pierre Plamondon isn’t keeping his political plans hidden in the dark.ANNOUNCEMENTS, EVENTS & MORE FROM TYEE AND SELECT PARTNERSCONTEST: Win Two Tickets to Monteverdi’s ‘Vespers’One lucky Tyee reader will snag a pair of seats to see a rare performance of the 17th-century masterpiece.A Heady Glimpse into the Soul of BCWhy The Tyee’s new book, ‘Points of Interest,’ is an ideal travel companion this season.
