Unlike Western culture, in Vietnamese culture, the number seven is sometimes considered unlucky. It is the first natural number whose pronunciation contains more than one syllable.

On election day, the Progressive Conservatives did win ten more seats than they held at the dissolution of the previous legislature, and won just under 70 per cent of the popular vote, the highest popular vote share ever attained by a party in the province ...

2007 Charlevoix Provincial By-election
A provincial by-election was held in Quebec on 24 September 2007 to fill the vacancy in the National Assembly riding of Charlevoix.
