	Parizeau, Jacques
		Parizeau moved the PQ away from Lévesque's policy of sovereignty-association toward full independence for Québec and publicly promised another separation referendum within one year of his taking office.
		Parizeau and the PQ took 77 of the 125 seats in the 1994 election with only a 5% increase in popular support.
		Parizeau took responsibility for the defeat of the independence forces, but not before blaming the defeat on money and the "ethnic vote." He resigned as leader of the PQ and premier the day after the referendum, less than one year after assuming office.

	Parizeau, Jacques
		Jacques Parizeau became leader of the PARTI QUÉBÉCOIS in the spring of 1988.

	Jacques Parizeau Revises the History...
		The first volume of the recent biography of Jacques Parizeau by Pierre Duchesne has some very revelatory passages, but the brief chapter on the October Crisis 1970 is in good part obscurantism, revisionism and failing to tell the whole story.
		Parizeau is very frank in revealing details of the rift between himself, as President of the Executive Council of the Parti Québécois' and René Lévesque, the party leader.
		Although a signatory of the petition, Parizeau now suggests that he was only the "switchboard operator"## between Lévesque, Claude Ryan, Camille Laurin, (Parliamentary Leader of the P.Q.), the seven leading union leaders, the four social science professors and a cooperative leader.

		Parizeau bypassed Bill 101 by having his children educated in private schools.

	Money and the ethnic vote - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		After the narrow 50.58% to 49.42% defeat of the 1995 Quebec referendum on sovereignty (October 30), the then-premier of Quebec, Jacques Parizeau, made a concession speech in which he made his infamous remark blaming the defeat on "money and the ethnic vote".
		Although Parizeau later apologized for his statement, the remark has since been widely used by federalists to discredit the sovereigntist movement as racist.
		After having lost the referendum and facing controversy for his remarks, Jacques Parizeau resigned, saying that he always had the intention to resign if he were to lose his referendum.

	[No title]
		Jacques Parizeau's recollections of the coup d'etat he had planned for Quebec have provoked cries of dismay from all the principal players in the secession farce: Lucien Bouchard, Bernard Landry, Jean Chretien, Daniel Johnson, Jean Charest.
		Parizeau had always known that secession could never be negotiated; he must equally have known that a unilateral break, if it were to have any chance of succeeding, would have to be effected with lightning speed: a "first strike" that would, he hoped, make it a fait accompli by morning.
		And if it were clear to Parizeau, it could not fail to have been to the wide-eyed innocents who now disavow all knowledge of the plot, and pretend they would have stopped it had they known.

	Log Cabin Chronicles Peter Black's Parizeu is Charest's best buddy column
		Parizeau's frank but indiscreet talk -- he didn't realize a reporter with a tape recorder was at the PQ gathering -- proved to be a wake-up call for many voters still reluctant to desert the PQ to support the Liberals.
		Now that Parizeau has provoked a debate on the future of the sovereignty movement, one much more visceral than typical PQ intellectual acrobatics, Landry may be forced to come out and fight for his incremental approach to achieving Quebec independence.
		If Parizeau is able to rally to his cause a majority of the PQ delegates to the convention in June -- which he has every intention of doing -- Landry may find himself the leader of a party whose election strategy he personally rejects.

	The future of the PQ - Interim, Oct 2004
		Parizeau, the loser of the 1995 referendum, now thinks that it is impossible to win a future referendum on independence because of a federalist plot against Quebec.
		Parizeau would like an election-referendum; with less that 40 per cent of the vote, the PQ could declare Quebec independent with a majority of MNAs.
		The Parizeau proposition, published in two long pages in La Presse in August, was rejected as anti-democratic by the leaders of the PQ, including Landry, and the majority of PQ supporters.

		MONTREAL -Premier Lucien Bouchard and former premier Jacques Parizeau are suing for libel an investment counsellor, who more than six years ago, likened their political tactics to those of Adolf Hitler, in a confidential newsletter to his clients.
		Parizeau, who was then leader of the Parti Québécois, and Bouchard, then leader of the Bloc Québécois in Ottawa, filed their claim in court Feb. 22, 1993, arguing that the article was "incendiary, injurious, and defamatory."
		The key offending paragraph follows: "Jacques Parizeau, the leader of the [PQ] at the provincial level, and Lucien Bouchard, the leader of the [BQ] at the federal level, aim their appeal entirely at nationalism.

		Le texte de Parizeau a le mérite de rappeler qu'il n'est pas interdit aux péquistes d'essayer de se redonner la marge de manoeuvre politique qu'ils ont perdue en se présentant devant les électeurs comme des souverainistes qui, une fois élus, se comporteront comme des souverainistes.
		Parizeau came to power, he was forced to abide by party dictates to serve as the premier of a governing party with sovereignty constituting a separate issue.
		Parizeau is correct in stating that Quebec's ability to determine its political and constitutional future is presently stymied by the federal Liberal government.

		Further amplifying the drama and tension that has gripped the province in recent days, the separatists' loss prompted the premier of Quebec, separatist leader Jacques Parizeau, to resign a day after the referendum was held.
		Some observers felt that Parizeau knew exactly what he was doing in his intemperate remarks -- that he wanted to prompt uneasy ethnic voters to move out of Quebec so that he could hold another referendum some two to five years from now when they were safely gone.
		Parizeau's concession speech was not the first occasion that the issue of race and ethnicity surfaced in connection with the referendum.

		Parizeau says the federalist strategy has been to add fear of the unknown to economic uncertainty in a sovereign Quebec.
		In a media conference prior to his lecture, Parizeau stood by his remarks referendum night, that sovereigntists lost to "money and the ethnic vote." In response to a reporter's question, Parizeau fingered these three groups.

		At the time, the separatists were publicly committed to negotiate for up to a year on a possible economic partnership with the rest of Canada before they would consider unilateral independence.
		Parizeau would have had this in mind, he could have never, never convinced a single person around him to do this,'' Bouchard told a news conference.

		Le Hir told The CJN that he brought up Parizeau’s comments 10 years later because he is still sorry Parizeau did not keep his promise and because of the former premier’s “insulting” behaviour to the Jewish community.
		Efforts to reach Bronfman and Parizeau for comment were unsuccessful, but Parizeau’s assistant Pierre Rousseau said that, in general, the former premier did not not want to comment on the Le Hir article.

		Parizeau's remark was attacked as racist, undemocratic, and an assault on Quebec's anglo business establishment, a thinly-veiled threat aimed at those who'd voted "no" to independence from English-speaking Canada.
		Within 24 hours, Parizeau was forced by the furor over his remarks to announce his resignation of Quebec's premier.
		Parizeau, himself, wrote a letter to excuse himself, in the weeks after that, although the letter is not very quoted often, but he did write a letter, and, uh, those were not the kind of words we have to issue, because they don't reflect what we think.

		Parizeau was mainstream enough to be the leader of the entire sovereignty movement less than 10 years ago.
		Jacques Parizeau fills two pages of Monday's La Presse with what amounts, in the cozy circles of Quebec's sovereignty movement, to a bombshell: instead of holding a referendum, Quebec should simply declare itself independent the next time the Parti Québécois manages to get elected.
		Wilfred and lagatta, I wrote of Parizeau with the intensity I did because I was thinking as well of the precise parallel to his "anglophilia" (barf) among an older generation of anglo mandarins, who used to condescend to Quebeckers for not speaking "real" or proper French.
