French frigate Montcalm (D642)

Montcalm is a F70 type anti-submarine frigate of the French Marine Nationale. The French navy does not use the term "destroyer" for any of its ships; hence some of the larger ships, referred to as "frigates", are registered as destroyers. She is the fourth French vessel named after the 18th century Marshal marquess Louis de Montcalm de Saint Véran.

Operational history

Montcalm was involved in operations off Libya during the 2011 Libyan Civil War. From 13 to 26 October 2014, the frigate took part in the large international operational exercise Catamaran 2014 that practiced an amphibious assault.

Montcalm (electoral district)

Montcalm is a federal electoral district in Quebec, Canada, that has been represented in the House of Commons of Canada from 1867 to 1917 and since 2004.

In the 2004 election, the Bloc Québécois won a larger percentage of the vote here than in any other riding with 71% of the vote; they would hold the seat until 2011, when they were defeated by the NDP.

Geography

The riding is located to the northeast of the Montreal region, in the Quebec region of Lanaudière. It consists of the Montcalm RCM, the city of Mascouche, and the districts of La Plaine and Lachenaie in the city of Terrebonne.

The neighbouring ridings are Joliette, Repentigny, La Pointe-de-l'Île, Honoré-Mercier, Alfred-Pellan, Terrebonne—Blainville, and Rivière-du-Nord.

History

Montcalm riding was created by the British North America Act in 1867. It was abolished in 1914 when it was merged into L'Assomption—Montcalm riding.

It was re-created in 2003 from parts of Berthier—Montcalm, Repentigny and Terrebonne—Blainville ridings.
