	QuébecPolitique.com \| National Union
		The Union Nationale is born of the merging of two political parties: the Conservative Party, founded during the XIXth Century and led by Maurice Duplessis, and the Action Libérale nationale, a splinter group of the Liberal Party led by Paul Gouin since it's foundation in 1934.
		This party dominated the political scene in Quebec from 1936 to 1960, and declined after the death of it's founder in 1959.
		The last MNAs elected under the label "Union Nationale" were elected during the 1976 general election, with Rodrigue Biron as leader, boosted by the protest vote of the english-speaking Quebecers against the "Loi 22" voted by the Liberal government in 1974.

		In 1960, however, he supported the Quebec Liberals in the election which traditionally is identified as the beginning of the so-called "Quiet Revolution" in Quebec.
		In the election which followed, so-called "Trudeaumania" swept the country as the media became fascinated with the quick mind, the athletic prowess, the romantic attachments, and the surprising indifference to traditional political concerns of Canada's new prime minister.
		Against the strong opposition of Western Canada, Quebec, and most of the Atlantic provinces, the opposition parties, and leading newspapers, Trudeau pushed ahead his scheme for a new constitution which would be the last act of the United Kingdom Parliament to affect Canada.

	Do Canadians Trust Themselves?: The 2006 Federal Election by John von Heyking (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-05)
		Canadians are in an election campaign a mere seventeen months after their last one.
		Americans will be interested in what impact the election has on Canada’s commitment to North American security, the war on terror, and energy security, not to mention its impact on trade between the two countries, which is the largest bi-national trading relationship in the world.
		For instance, before the election the prime minister threatened to retaliate against U.S. softwood lumber duties by slapping export duties on Alberta oil and gas, which would increase U.S. reliance on Saudi and Venezuelan oil, and increase pressure to drill for oil and gas in environmentally sensitive Alaskan wild lands.

	TIME.com: Still the Champion -- Jul 2, 1956 -- Page 1
		Quebec's splinter parties joined in an anti-Duplessis coalition, and the strong federal Liberal organization, dropping its hands-off policy toward provincial affairs, sent a team of Ottawa Cabinet ministers to Quebec to campaign.
		His main theme, as ever, was the cry that the Ottawa government threatens Quebec's autonomy, endangers its language and religion.
		But on the Quebec hustings the Liberal politicians unblushingly fired it at Duplessis, charging that the big iron-ore project in Ungava and other U.S.-financed enterprises were "giveaways to foreigners." The maneuver boomeranged on the Liberals.

		Even those who could not attend in person could watch from afar; for the first time, TV cameras were on hand to broadcast the proceedings and let all Canadians see the choosing of the man who will be their Prime Minister if the Tory Party wins the next general election.
		The Tories, out of power since 1935, have lost five straight elections, and they have shown few signs of increasing their political appeal.
		That weakness has not been remedied by the election of John Diefenbaker, who speaks no French and failed to win any Quebec support at the Tory convention.
