| Description | MONTREAL -- From great right hope to TV host -- Mario Dumont officially makes the transition next week.
The one-time boy wonder of Quebec politics, symbol of hope for conservatives, ally of Stephen Harper and near-premier of Quebec, switches careers next week to host "Dumont 360" -- an hour-long, French-language current events show.
The former leader of the Action democratique du Quebec is the star attraction on a tiny Quebec network called V-Tele, which rose from the ashes of the perennially cash-strapped and now-defunct TQS.
He insists his subject matter will go well beyond politics. In fact, the lifelong politician expresses mild annoyance when discussing his old career.
He says he's fed up with news reports that he might leap to federal politics, has no idea how his old provincial party will fare without him, and is instead looking forward to weighing in on matters outside the political arena. |
