	Quebec general election, 1966 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Quebec general election of 1966 was held on June 5, 1966, to elect members of the Legislative Assembly of Quebec, Canada.
		In terms of the number of seats won, the election was one of the closest in recent history, with the UN winning 56 seats to the Liberals' 50.
		Generally, Quebec's first past the post electoral system tends to produce strong disparities in the number of seats won even if the popular vote is fairly close.

	De Gaulle and NATO
		General de Gaulle's attitude to NATO, progressing from overt mistrust even before 1958 to his decision in 1966 to withdraw French forces from the integrated military structure, was part of his plan to provide France with an independent defence policy, while his relations with successive American governments evolved.
		On 7 March 1966, General de Gaulle announced to President Johnson that France was withdrawing from the integrated military organisation.
		General de Gaulle's strategic doctrine largely continued to be followed until the collapse of the Soviet bloc.

		The province of Quebec is unique in North America, a vibrant community made up of almost six million people whose mother tongue is French, 700,000 whose mother tongue is English and another half million whose first language is neither French nor English.
		Quebec's French culture and language have flourished in Canada, in large part because of the determination of its people to resist assimilation into the English-speaking majority, but also because the Canadian federation has provided guarantees, from its beginnings, for their language and culture.
		The Quebec Act of 1774 authorized the use of French civil law (distinct from British common law) in the colony, allowed Roman Catholics to hold office, guaranteed the French seigneurial system of land ownership, and affirmed religious freedom for Quebec's Catholic majority.

	Mapleleafweb.com: Party Leader Biographies - Gilles Duceppe: Leader of the Bloc Quebecois
		Duceppe’s victory in that election was a watershed moment in the Bloc’s development, as it showed that a sovereigntist party at the federal level could gain electoral support in Quebec and was capable of wining elections.
		Duceppe advocates a particular form of Quebec nationalism, often referred to as ‘sovereignty-association.’ This nationalism combines two political concepts: the achievement of sovereignty for the Quebec state, and the creation of a political and economic association between this independent state and the rest of Canada.
		With the release of the Auditor General’s report detailing irregularities in the area of sponsorship, however, the fortunes of Duceppe and the Bloc rose significantly – a trend that would prove to carry into the 2004 general election that followed not long after.

		The issue was such a smouldering one, and of such potential damage in Quebec, that it nearly toppled the Liberal government of Sir Wilfrid Laurier, the politician-in-full who had just won a thundering majority.
		The wreckage for Laurier was the growing impression in Quebec, fuelled by rival Henri Bourassa, that he had too often caved in to English-Canadian bigotry.
		While Quebec would still stick with him and help him win his fourth election in 1908, Laurier was in effect finished as a national leader.

		Jean Lesage’s election victory in 1960 after the death of Duplessis took the momentum away from the working class and placed it into the hands of Québec’s rising petit bourgeois.
		As the workers’ movement of the 1960s and early 1970s was the development on a higher level of the workers’ movement of the 1950s, so was the PQ victory a development on a higher level of the Quiet Revolution (or the Jean Lesage years).
		Until the General Strike of 1972 the CSN had characterized the PQ as “a professional and technocratic petite bourgeoise, whose ambition is to replace the Anglo-Canadian bourgeoisie in Québec (notably through state institution),” – which is exactly what happened.

		One major difference about the feeling about the strike between the one that have lived it (Quebec students, mainly francophones) and the rest of the students (Quebec anglophones students and the rest of the student movement in Canada) is about the kind of victory we had.
		That said, it means that the Quebec students are not different by nature to the rest of the students, it is just a matter of organization.
