Pierre Peladeau senior created Quebecor. He left a huge fortune to his sons. The eldest, PKP, as he is known in Quebec, is now a member of the PQ representing Ste Jerome.

From the link:

"In 2012, Pierre Karl and his brother Erik Péladeau ranked 97th on Canadian Business magazine's list of 100 richest Canadians, with a net worth of $673 million.

The Péladeau family, initially led by their deceased father Pierre, created Quebecor, whose holdings include the right-wing Sun newspaper chain, the right-wing Sun News Network (sometimes called Fox News North), and the 24 hours papers."
