Yup.

David Plouffe is Canuck, in the New England sense of being of a family from the immigration boom to New England in the 1800's. (I don't know how long you have to be out of a mostly French speaking environment before you stop being Canuck, mind you, or whether this classic surname suffices)

I have great-great-great-grandfather Paul Plouffe living in, and emigrating from Ste-Victoire-de-Sorel in 1856.

His uncle, also Paul Plouffe, is still in Maine, a lawyer who is also Maine's Environmentalist-of-the-year. He has climbed every mountain in Maine.

Gotta review all my references, but I am 99.9% certain this is right.

By that standard, so am I.
