whats a Reeve?

I think it's like a mayor- especially of townships. I got that info of the parliament website, so I'm not too sure. User: Earl Andrew 20:47 December 9, 2003 (UTC)

POV in article

[edit]

There are intentionally insulting references in this article to the reasons of why Bachand was elected, saying that he was first elected on the "coattails" of Jean Charest, implying that he was a sycophant to Charest, explaining that this is why he was elected. That is a highly controversial statement and the way it is worded is intentionally insulting.--R-41 (talk) 17:02, 17 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The statement is obviously the point-of-view of the editor who added the info. We can't provide reasons why we think something happened, so the statement should probably be edited. A neutral sentence could read "Bachand was first elected as a member of the Progressive Conservative Party in 1997, one of five PC MPs elected that year in Quebec." If you believe something in a WP:BLP article to be highly controversial, than remove it and explain why in the edit summary, but I wouldn't go as far as stating what the editor was "implying", as that would also be point-of-view.
