Default Montreals Mayor sent to Prison Camp

Unfortunately it is not Denis Coderre, but Montreals mayor during WWII Camillen Houde. I was just doing some random reading and saw the info on Wiki's entry for Montreal: Wikipedia quote below

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Montreal

"During World War II, Mayor Camillien Houde protested against conscription and urged Montrealers to disobey the federal government's registry of all men and women.[57] The government at Ottawa was furious over Houde's stand and held him at a prison camp until 1944"

It seems many there have got a long history of not giving a crap about the rest of Canada, or in the case of WWII- the free world.
