OTTAWA – She survived four bullets fired by a mass murderer during the 1989 Polytechnique massacre. She has campaigned for decades for stricter gun control. Now, she is a Liberal candidate.

Nathalie Provost, who recently criticized the Liberals for their slow pace of the mandatory gun buyback program and threatened not to invite former prime minister Justin Trudeau to the 35th anniversary of the Polytechnique commemoration, will run under the Liberal Party of Canada banner in Châteauguay–Les Jardins-de-Napierville, near Montreal.
