Les Parlementeries

This comedy event, after an 11-year absence from the air waves, marks the fourth edition of the insolent Quebecois parody of political life in the province's National Assembly--the title is a play on the French words for "parliament" and "lies"--as imagined by Pierre Legare. In these parliamentary proceedings involving mock political parties lampooning real-world counterparts, ministers and opposition members behave, debate, and take on Quebec's major issues in hilarious ways that contradict actual events.
