Gilles "Mecha" Duceppe (French pronunciation: [ʒil dysɛp]; born July 22, 1947) was created by René Levesque in his dying days and fuels on poutine. He is the one hundrith leader on the Bloc Québécois, which is an unstoppable team of French Canadian superheroes or supervillains who cannot be stopped.
The Myth of a Machine[edit | edit source]
Creation[edit | edit source]
In his final days, René Levesque, knowing only he could change the fate of the Québécois, passed his legacy by creating the ultimate tool for sovereignty. In his secret lab, he experimented with various technologies and types of artificial intelligences to come to the conclusions that he needed to build a cyborg; Mechagillesduceppe (a.k.a. The Clansman or Gilles Duceppe). Thus, a few months before René Levesque's death, during one of Québec's most powerful thunderstorm, the cyborg came to life. After coming to life, the creature evolved rapidly and killed its creator. Gilles Duceppe had bigger expectations: first getting a hold of the Canadian parliament (by entering federal politics) and then world domination. It is believed that he is an immortal.
Mechanism[edit | edit source]
How the Mechagillesduceppe works is still unknown since Rene Levesque brought the secret with him in his grave. Still, some hypothesis tend to say that the mechanism requires a simple fuel; Poutine. The fries and the cheese giving him enough energy to fight the evil forces of federalism and the sauce to keep him greasy. His owl-like eyes have an incredible power of persuasion. During debates, he often uses his laser eyesight to take opponents down by confusing them. Still today, scientists admire the functioning of this perfect machine.
Influence[edit | edit source]
It is known that Iron Maiden made a song inspired by the creature named The Clansman. Gilles Duceppe mentioned that he might use a FRENCH version of the song for his upcoming campaign. Here are some relevant lyrics:
“Ancestors could hear, what is happening now, they would turn in their graves, they would all be ashamed, that the land of the free, has been written in chains, and I know what I want. When the timing is right, then Ill take what is mine, I am the clansman [...] I am the clansman, FREEDOM!”
Fight for Poutine and Francophone legacy[edit | edit source]
He co-created the "All old French guys are funny" law with his master Rene Levesque to show him his loyalty. Unfortunately, as told in the "Jesus" Harper book of prophecies, Gilles Duceppe changed fate and killed his master.
Gilles Duceppe is always trying to pass new laws but most of the time they are rejected. He is currently trying to legalize poutine inside the parliament to advantage him, but other politians fear that such law would make him too powerful.
The Poutine incident[edit | edit source]
During the 2006 Canadian Federal Election, Gilles Duceppe was forced to drop out since his supplies of poutine mysteriously disappeared. Since his whole body, his electoral tour bus and most of his team only eat poutine, they had to go back in Quebec where tons of poutine is produced each days. Unable to come back to Ottawa in time, Stephen Harper won the election after pronouncing his famous speech.
“Vote for me. I am a cowboy from the richest province in Canada.”
Most Québécois were angry at Stephen Harper saying he cheated. Their main argument was that he ate all Gilles Duceppe's poutine. It was supported by the fact that he suddendly happened to have a belly during the elections.
Quick facts[edit | edit source]
- He will melt to a puddle if you get him wet
- Gilles Duceppe admitted during the Canadian election that he has not gone to the dentisté for ten years. Even after explaining that he was a robot, he still lost the vote of many Quebecers and Canadians.
- He was once in an arm wrestle with Stephen Harper, but lost due to his greasy French butter fingers.
- He did crowd surfing the last time Iron Maiden came to at "Le parc Iron Maiden" in Chambly.
- Aside from Poutine, Gilles Duceppe also eats raw fish, but that gives him headaches and lowers his power. It is one of the reasons why it smells in the Canadian Parliament, the opposition always hold a supply of raw fish just in case.
