Fulgence Charpentier, OC (June 29, 1897 – February 6, 2001) was a French Canadian journalist, editor and publisher.
He stayed in the army after the Armistice to work in a military hospital on the campus of McGill University in Montreal.
His early stories on the then-unilingual English environment of Parliament were believed to be instrumental in getting federal authorities to increase the visibility of French in the Canadian public service.
His resume included serving as a media spokesman for ambassador Georges Vanier in Paris and working as a diplomat[2] from 1946 until 1968 in some francophone African nations and South America.
Charpentier was still writing weekly columns on his trusty typewriter for Le Droit until 1999, when he had to stop due to chronic bronchial pneumonia at the age of 101.
