A close friend of Louis-Joseph Papineau, he became the editor of the Montreal Vindicator in 1832, and showed to be an irreducible adversary of Lord Gosford and the status quo.
In 1837, a mandate of arrest was emitted against him, and he sought refuge at St-Denis, then crossed the American border with Papineau. Later, he became secretary-archivist of the State of New York, and died there in 1880.
