It is said that Quebec's Quiet Revolution of the 1960s, in which the French majority cast off its religious and colonial heritage, would never have taken root if not for the widespread discontent sown by his government.

He won the 1936 election, lost the 1939 election, won the 1944 election, 1948 election, 1952 election, and 1956 election and died in office in 1959.
