	1939: Quebec - Archive Article - MSN Encarta

	Log Cabin Chronicles Peter Black's Quebec Election 2003 column
		In Quebec, the longest-serving government of modern times was that of the Union Nationale which, under Maurice Duplessis and two short-lived successors, ruled the province from 1944 to 1960.
		While it is certainly true that virtually all Quebecers who want a sovereign Quebec vote PQ, a sizable number vote for the party despite the independence hook, simply because they like its social democratic platform, or just can't stand the other parties or their leaders.
		Who knows, the worst case scenario for the PQ may be that it emerges from the April 14 election still in a position to challenge the next government one or two elections down the road.

	Quebec's Constitutional Veto: The Legal and Historical Context (BP295e) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
		Quebec provincial governments, particularly in the post-war period, have added to this interpretation the argument that Quebec, the only political entity in Canada with a majority francophone population, is the "cornerstone" of French Canada.
		The fact that Quebec was able to block important attempts to change the Constitution (as in 1965 when Premier Lesage vetoed the Fulton-Favreau amending formula, and in 1971 when Premier Bourassa refused to agree to the Victoria Charter) was subsequently interpreted within Quebec as a confirmation of the existence of that province’s constitutional veto.
		Moreover, Quebec’s signature implied that the government of that province was, at least in the formal sense, renouncing its distinctness...

	Brian Mulroney
		After a by-election (an election to fill empty seats in Parliament), Mulroney entered the Canadian House of Commons in Ottawa on August 28, 1983.
		The election result was the greatest triumph for a party in Canadian history.
		Though Mulroney had retained a parliamentary majority in the 1988 elections, widespread public resentment of a new goods and services tax introduced in 1991 and his inability to resolve the Quebec situation caused Mulroney's popularity to decline, and he resigned in 1993.

	uni.ca - Origins of Quebec separatism
		During the late 1960s, the movement was motivated primarily by the belief, shared by many Quebec intellectuals and labour leaders, that the economic difficulties of Quebec were caused by confederation and could only be ended by altering--or ending--the ties with other provinces and the central government.
		The rate of growth of the French Canadian population and the lack of good workable land outside the narrow St. Lawrence and Richelieu valleys contributed to the rush to low-paying jobs in urban industries and to the growth of slums, particularly in Montreal.
		By 1921 Quebec was the most urbanized and industrialized of all Canadian provinces, including Ontario, which remained, however, the most populous and the wealthiest.

	Review - Terrorist by John Updike, plus Bono in coversation and the Young Trudeau
		Most shocking is the period between 1939 and 1944, when this books ends, just as Trudeau heads out of province to Harvard to continue his education.
		In particular, it was unpopular with the Catholic Church in Quebec, which was heavily tempted by fascist ideologies.
		Trudeau was led towards fascism by his teachers, both the individuals and the overall Quebec culture of his youth, yet he learned to read Adam Smith through re-opened eyes and eventually gave Canada, and the world, his towering legacy, the Charter of Rights and Freedoms.

	Rudely calling Quebec a hotbed of anti-Semitism
		The journalists and editors in Quebec might not even be able to recognize anti-Semitism in particular and racism in general, having been raised and educated in an environment where insults and threats aimed at Jews and visible minorities are simply part of the background (literally and figuratively).
		One reason is her speculation that if Quebec were to achieve independence, it would delist Hezbollah as a terrorist organization by "day two" and begin serving almost immediately as a safe harbour for "fanatical exterminationists", so popular (in her mind) are anti-Israel and anti-American sentiments in the province.
		Quebec, meanwhile, was home to 24% of Jewish Canadians, and accounted for--lo and behold--24% of all anti-Semitic incidents (incidentally, Alberta is 4% and 4%, respectively, and the Maritimes, 2% and 2%).

		During the election campaign, the depressed state of the Canadian economy and Canada's somewhat tense relations with the United States (stemming from economic protectionism on both sides and from environmental issues) were problems that Mulroney promised to deal with if his party were returned to power.

	indymedia.us :: Kerry/Edwards bail - protests forge ahead
		As the John Kerry and John Edwards bail on their supporters, both reluctant and otherwise, demonstrations continue to take place across the nation in response to what many see as another tainted election and the continuation of the Empire's international bellgerence.
		Failing to make any mention of all the problems with ballot access and electronic voting in the U.S. elections, Kerry limited his speech to a perceived no-win in uncounted provisional ballots in Ohio, a call for national unity (not unlike Al Gore before him), and his thanks to all his supporters.
		Banners and signs with slogans like "Impeach them all!" displayed along the street-side of the event attracted passers-by and leafletting of The Peoples Pledge of Resistance and other material made it clear that not every U.S. citizen is prepared to buy into the phony "unity" being peddled by both Kerry and Bush.

	William Lyon Mackenzie King Summary
		He returned to Canada to run in the 1917 election, which focused almost entirely on the conscription issue, and lost again, due to his opposition to conscription, which was supported by the majority of English Canadians.
		King's promise not to impose conscription contributed to the defeat of Maurice Duplessis's Union Nationale Quebec provincial government in 1939 and Liberals' re-election in the 1940 election.
		The monument was built by the sovereigntist Parti Québécois government of Quebec, which justified the decision on the basis that King was not important enough.

		While Quebec only returned 19 seats to the Liberals, this did not affect the influence Quebec had over policy development: both Prime Minister Chrétien and Finance Minister Martin were elected from Quebec, and represented Quebeckers’ interests with dedication and perseverance.
		Thanks to the dynamism of Quebec Liberals, Quebeckers today can proudly claim that Canada is their Canada, their creation in partnership with the other nations and cultures which make up the diversity and wealth of our beautiful country.
