Thus, in analysing the attitude of Quebec, or of the ultramontane nationalists, to immigration, the minority situation of the nation should be kept in mind.

He argued that the former grew out of the needs of either the bourgeoisie or the working class, and so their social and political functions were organically linked to those more important classes, while the latter could build on their historical autonomy and legitimacy as representatives of a pre-capitalist heritage.
In a general sense he is right: intellectuals defended diverse positions in Quebec, but acfas neither offered them a home nor worked on their behalf.
Rousseau was a botanist, for whom this metaphor presumably came naturally, but, as secretary general of the acfas from 1930 to 1945, it was a self-serving and barely disguised rewriting of history.
