 Duplessis Orphans - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Duplessis Orphans ( French : les Orphelins de Duplessis) refers to a scandal where several thousand orphaned children were falsely certified as mentally ill by the government of the province of Quebec, Canada and confined to psychiatric institutions.
Beginning in the 1940s and continuing into the 1960s, Quebec Premier Maurice Duplessis in cooperation with the Roman Catholic Church who ran the orphanages, developed a scheme to obtain Federal funding for thousands of children, most of whom had been orphaned through their abandonment by an unwed mother.
In 2004, members of the "Duplessis Orphans" asked the Quebec government to unearth an abandoned cemetery in the east end of Montreal which they believe holds the remains of orphans who may have been the subject of medical experiments.

 Maurice Duplessis (1890-l959) - Quebec History - Histoire du Québec
First elected to the Quebec House of Assembly in 1927, Duplessis became the leader of the Conservative Party of Quebec in 1933; his party joined forces with Paul Gouin's Action Libérale Nationale in 1935 to form the Union Nationale party which was successful at the polls in 1936.
Prime Minister of Quebec in a period of widespread centralization, in the war and post-war periods, Duplessis became the most important proponent of provincial autonomy.
Such harsh judgments have been nuanced by the more recent research and writing on Duplessis; some praise the stability of the province and its economic performance under his rule ; others increasingly recognized him as having initiated the modernisation of Quebec.

Rachel Blau DuPlessis is a spectacular exponent of this postmodern technique.
DuPlessis is haunted by the precarious closures, "hinge-loss door, lack latch," that have come to undermine the idea of presence.
Writing the undone across what she calls "the historical dead", Rachel Blau DuPlessis thus manages to inscribe the finest of equilibriums between a burning loss of identity, its increasing impossibility and the urge to avoid purifying whatever else is being shaped to take its place." (pp.

Duplessis, a fervent anti-unionist, held a tight grip on the province while premier from 1944 to 1959.
Many critics at the time accused his government of keeping the province mired in old ways, which were characterized as conservative, patronage-oriented, rural and dominated by the Roman Catholic Church.
While this viewpoint has since been challenged by some historians, it's indisputable that after Duplessis died in 1959 and the Liberal Party took power a year later, the province changed rapidly.

 Jacket 22 - Patrick Pritchett reviews "Drafts 1-38, Toll," by Rachel Blau DuPlessis
For DuPlessis it makes possible a plurality of saying that is not so much a form per se as a way to think form inside of the poem.
The Unsaid as the inside of speech comes forward as the inarticulate sign of the messianic, of the effort of the poem to enunciate the impossible, ‘the very word’ itself, which is like a bell to toll, as DuPlessis, cleverly eliding the word ‘forlorn’ from Keats’s line, has it in her first epigraph.
This kind of ultimate contingency, for a poet like DuPlessis, is not a cause for confusion, but rather an occasion to celebrate the liberating prolixity of language’s endlessly reticulating procedures for form.
