	Union Nationale (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-07)
		The Union Nationale was strongly aligned with the clergy in the province, and dominated Quebec politics during the Duplessis years using repressive measures such as the Padlock Law to suppress opposition and particularly the trade unions.
		The victory of Jean Lesage's Liberals in the 1960 election ushered in the Quiet Revolution.
		Following his failure to win election to the National Assembly, he resigned as leader, and returned to federal Parliament as a PC MP by winning a federal by-election that was called as a result of his resignation.

	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.
		By 1921 Quebec was the most urbanized and industrialized of all Canadian provinces, including Ontario, which remained, however, the most populous and the wealthiest.
		Reelected in 1944, Duplessis refused to cooperate with most of the new social and educational initiatives launched by the King and Saint Laurent governments.

		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.

		Roosevelt had been worried in September and October 1944, during his campaign for a fourth term in the White House, that the American public might react unfavorably to the Morgenthau Plan and that his re-election might be endangered thereby.
		The massacres of 1944 were no less savage than the massacres of the Jacquerie, of St. Bartholomew, of the Revolutionary Terror, of the Commune; and they were certainly more numerous and on a wider scale....
		It is estimated that 20,000 persons lost their lives under the reign of Terror; that 18,000 fell in the frightful butchery that followed the war and insurrection of 1870-1871.

		Prior to the period of time under consideration, three jurisdictions granted their public employees the right to organize and strike: Saskatchewan in 1944; Quebec in 1964; and the Federal government in 1967.
		A boost for unions was also given by the provision in all labor codes (except Nova Scotia) for certification without a representation vote if a majority of the bargaining unit are members of the union.
		This is in sharp contrast to the United States, where a certification election is required after the union application for certification.

		Moreover, in the United States, the voice of African Americans was muted, and, in Canada, those of French Canadians and recent immigrant groups.
		After dubious sampling techniques produced some disastrous predictions in the United States, including the 1940 presidential election, Gallup, to prove the value of his operations, expanded his services, an initiative that resulted in the creation of the Canadian Institute of Public Opinion.
		Yet the problems with sampling techniques persisted and became evident with poor CIPO predictions in the 1942 plebiscite on conscription and in the 1944 Quebec provincial election.

		The Liberals' victory in Québec's provincial elections this week has sparked a lively discussion on Matthew Yglesias' blog about the absurdity of single member plurality voting systems.
		In the National Assembly, however, this translated into a large majority for the party that had lost the popular vote: 76 seats for the PQ and 48 for the PLQ.
		Incidentally, the same was true in Britain a century ago, when the Labour Party was able to emerge because its initial support was concentrated in densly-populated industrial cities of northern England.
