"Monsieur le ministre" -- anyone heard of it?

[libertango]

I was just looking at Lance Knobel's Davos Newbies, and saw a followup to my comment about the lack of a Canadian political TV series. Has anyone heard about this?

Just to let you know that there was a great Canadian political TV series. For the life of me I can’t remember the title, but it was about an accidentally successful Quebec politician. He was so incompetent and bungling that his screw-ups were mistaken for political maneuvers, and he climbed the ranks.

It was kind of Yes, Minister meets the Pink Panther, and I wish I could remember the title. It was a Quebec production (in French), but I think a sub-titled version was released.

John, looking at this list on Wikipedia of Quebecois TV series, my guess is you may be thinking of “Monsieur le ministre.”

Alas, there is no solo article on the series, and a Googling doesn't turn up much because of the commonness of the phrase. IMDb lists it, though, as being from 1985. However, they also don’t list either a DVD or VHS edition.
