Another wonderful boy for another wonderful IF~ @apt502-if

Jocelyn “Jess” Leroux decided to take a leap and move to a new country to be with his boyfriend. What could possibly go wrong?

Darryl Leroux, an associate professor of social justice and communities studies at Saint Mary's University, says at least four federal candidates from the Liberal, Conservative and Green parties have made dubious claims of Indigenous identity.

Leroux, who recently published a book called Distorted Descent: White Claims to Indigenous Identity, said all four claims seem to cling to the largely discredited idea that having one Indigenous ancestor somewhere in the past can bestow someone with an Indigenous identity.

"This idea that all you need is a long-ago blood connection — there is a consensus in Indigenous studies, as theorized and thought through by Indigenous scholars, that this is not acceptable," said Leroux.

"It actually is an attack against Indigenous self-determination and sovereignty."

Leroux singled out Marc Serré, an incumbent MP and candidate for the Liberal Party in the Nickel Belt riding in Ontario; George Canyon, a Conservative candidate for Central Nova in Nova Scotia; and Green Party candidates Amanda Kistindey, running in the Ontario riding of Don Valley West, and Jocelyn Rioux, who is running in the Quebec riding of Rimouski-Neigette-Témiscouata-Les Basques.

Serré, who was co-chair of the Liberal Indigenous caucus as an MP, recently deleted a section on his online candidate biography stating he was a "citizen of the Mattawa/North Bay Algonquin First Nation and Métis of Ontario." It remains in his biography on the web page for the Liberal Indigenous caucus.

Serré told CBC News that he has Algonquin ancestry through four lines on his father's side and and at least one on his mother's side, but admits only one link is documented and the rest are part of family lore.

Serré said his paternal great-great-grandmother was a woman named Marie Metamakin (Serré's spelling) who was a Weskarini Algonquin born in Trois Rivières, Que.

"Four generations, my Algonquin ancestry is," he said. "That we could prove."

Serré said he and his family have always felt Indigenous at their core.

"Growing up we considered ourselves more on the Métis side … my grandfather's brothers and sisters lived off the land … and clearly if you look at pictures, you see a lot of resemblance to my great-great-grandmother," said Serré.

Serré said the documented connection runs through his father, Gaetan Serré, his father's mother, Jeanne Aubin, and her mother, Marie Victoire Octavi Trudel. Serré said Trudel's mother was Marie Metamakin.

CBC News took Serré's lineage to independent Montreal-based genealogical researcher Dominique Ritchot. Richot followed the line and found that Trudel's mother was a woman named Josaphine Barette, whose parents were Vital Barette and Marcelline Lareau, who were married on Feb. 9, 1858, in Napierville, Que.

In a now-deleted section of Amanda Kistindey's profile on the Green Party's website, she identified as an Acadian-Métis with "strong ancestral heritage" which has shaped her advocacy.

Leroux said her claim as Acadian-Métis also likely hinges on a more than three-century-old ancestor. Acadian-Métis claims first surfaced in 1999 and in a 2001 court case, he said.

In an email to CBC News, Kistindey said that while she's never grown up on reserve or "even really been immersed in the culture," she is proud of her ancestral heritage.

While Kistindey did not respond to followup questions, the Green Party said in a statement it "does not verify the background of our candidates who self-identify as Indigenous."

EXCLUSIVE: Hervé L. Leroux Label Returns to Ready-to-Wear PARIS — Hervé L. Leroux is back for fall 2020. The upscale women’s label, on hiatus following Leroux’s decision to shutter his Parisian boutique and his subsequent death in 2017, will return to ready-to-wear under the creative direction of Jocelyne Caudroy, the late designer’s sister.

[modediplomatique]

@HERVERLEGERLEROUX _ ACTE DERNIER _ In 1992, Léger partnered with G. H. Mumm (subsidiary of Seagram), which financed his expansion into ready-to-wear and his move to the 21 Rue de Faubourg Saint-Honoré. In 1998, Seagram sold its stake in the label to the BCBG Max Azria group, leaving the designer with only 5% ownership. By April 1999, Leger disassociated himself from the partnership due to budget cuts and differences of opinion. In 2000 the designer changed his name to Hervé L. Leroux and opened a small atelier with his sister Jocelyne and two seamstresses in Paris. He left his bandage dress behind and instead offered dresses of soft drapery and pleating. He opened a boutique on the Left Bank, 32 Rue Jacob, in all low-ceiling wooden beams and elegant mirrored furniture, showing ready-to-wear privately and providing clients with mostly made-to-measure evening clothes, in elegant silk jersey or guipure laced knit or body-conscious swimsuits and more expensive sculpted leather corset tops and umbrella-ribbed skirts. From 790 francs (121 euros) for the latter to 21,000 francs (3,203 euros) for the former. Between 2004 and 2006, he became chief designer at #GuyLaroche after the house changed hands for the second time that decade. He resigned in January 2006, making the Fall/Winter 2006-7 ready-to-wear his final collection for the house. #Vogue Patterns’ Guy Laroche license allowed the company to release designs from all four of Hervé Leroux’s collections for Laroche. In 2007, when Max Azria relaunched the Hervé Léger label and made the archive accessible to mark a resurgence of interest in the #bandeaudress. It was also adopted by newcomers #ProenzaSchouler and #ChristopherKane in their respective Spring 2007’s. Suddenly, the real deal, the vintage Léger 80s pieces became à la mode at soaring prices as well as recherchées for red carpet’s by stars and starlets. Mr. #Peugnet was active on his social medias sharing advices, praises and critiques. Always entier. Always léger. We will miss him. My sincères condoléances to Jocelyne @HerveLegerSister, may Hervé RIP 🌹 _ #ALESSANDROBERGA | L’ÉDITOR #PARIS #PFW #MODEDIPLOMATIQUE
