История
Родился в Л'Иль-Верте, Квебек, младшим из 17 детей. В 1931 году получил степень бакалавра искусств в Университете Лаваля, а в 1934 году – диплом в École des Hautes Études Commerciales de Montréal. С 1935 по 1947 год работал в l'Union catholique des cultivateurs, организации, представляющей интересы фермеров. С 1947 по 1963 год был издателем франкоязычной газеты Le Devoir, издававшейся в Монреале. Он был одним из самых резких критиков правительства Мориса Дюплессиса. С 1960 по 1968 год занимал должность мэра Сен-Бруно-де-Монтарвиля. В 1970 году был удостоен звания Товарища ордена Канады, а в 1989 году – награжден степенью Великого офицера Национального ордена Квебека. Был женат на Франсуазе Серветре, имел девять детей.
Born in L'Isle Verte, Quebec, the youngest of 17 children, he received a Bachelor of Arts from Université Laval in 1931 and a diploma in 1934 from École des Hautes Études Commerciales de Montréal. From 1935 until 1947 he worked for the l'Union catholique des cultivateurs, a group representing farmers. From 1947 until 1963 he was the publisher of Le Devoir, a French language newspaper published in Montreal. He was one of the most vocal critics of Maurice Duplessis's government. He was Mayor of Saint Bruno de Montarville from 1960 1968. In 1970 he was made a Companion of the Order of Canada. In 1989 he was made a Grand Officer of the National Order of Quebec. He was married to Françoise Servêtre and had nine children. Born in L'Isle Verte, Quebec, Gérard Filion’s journalism career began when he was 26. Working for the Terre de Chez Nous, a paper run by the Catholic Union of Farmers, Filion became a lifelong ally of many Quebec unions. In 1947 he began publishing Le Devoir and used the paper to rise to the unions’ defence against Maurice Duplessis, the province’s Premier. Duplessis was the leader of Quebec’s conservative Union Nationale government and Filion became one of his fiercest opponents. Decades later, Filion credited Duplessis as being a boon to his career. Without having the Premier as an opponent, Filion doubted he ever would have published such excellent work during his time with Le Devoir. After Duplessis’ death in 1959, Filion continued pushing to modernize Quebec. A member of many Crown commissions, he worked with the group that took control of French Canadian schools away from the Catholic Church. Because of this work, he is considered a key player in Quebec’s Quiet Revolution. In 1970, he became a Companion of the Order of Canada. Filion died in 2005. He was inducted into the Canadian News Hall of Fame in 1966.
Жерар Филион, родившийся в Л'Иль-Верте, Квебек, начал свою журналистскую карьеру в 26 лет. Работая в Terre de Chez Nous, газете, принадлежавшей Католическому союзу фермеров, Филион стал верным союзником многих профсоюзов Квебека. В 1947 году он стал издателем Le Devoir и использовал газету для защиты интересов профсоюзов от Мориса Дюплессиса, премьер-министра провинции. Дюплесси был лидером консервативного правительства Национального союза Квебека, и Филион стал одним из его самых яростных оппонентов. Спустя десятилетия Филион признал, что Дюплессис пошел на пользу его карьере. Он сомневался, что смог бы создать столь значимые работы во время работы в Le Devoir, если бы не противостояние с премьер-министром. После смерти Дюплесси в 1959 году Филион продолжил активно выступать за модернизацию Квебека. Будучи членом многих государственных комиссий, он сотрудничал с группой, которая изъяла французскоязычные школы из-под контроля католической церкви. Благодаря этой работе он считается ключевой фигурой в тихой революции Квебека. В 1970 году он стал компаньоном ордена Канады. Филион умер в 2005 году и в 1966 году был введен в Зал славы канадских новостей.
