		The first version was a masterful account of the Quebec Liberal party from Robert Bourassa's humiliating defeat at the hands of the Parti Québécois in 1976 to his extraordinary comeback as leader in 1983.
		Bourassa, the pragmatic economist, turned out to be a federalist at his core when the chips were down.
		Unfortunately for Bourassa, the people picked to draft his own party's response to Meech got carried away or rather were not kept on a short enough leash, partly because Bourassa was sidelined by his first serious scrape with cancer.

		But the mood in Quebec is different during the 1976 campaign, and Robert Bourassa has lost his seat — and the province to the Parti Québécois.
		Bourassa is philosophical about the loss, explaining that "in modern societies it's more difficult to come with a middle-of-the-road approach." In this CBC Radio clip he also asks the province's business sector to react calmly to the PQ victory.
		The only issue in that campaign was federalism versus separatism and the results were a resounding endorsement of Bourassa's leadership.

		The politically spineless Bourassa scuttled the Victoria Charter in 1971 and, contrary to all the recommendations of the Gendron Commission on language, banished English as one of the two official languages of Quebec with his very illiberal and oppressive Bill 22, the godfather of Camille Laurin's even more oppressive Bill 101.
		It was the beau risque gambling tag team of Bourassa and Mulroney, who endangered the Canadian federation to the point of virtual political collapse with their seamless web of distinctly illiberal, ethnic-state-imbued Meech Lake constitutional amendments.
		The 'Canada Round' of mega-constitutional negotiations produced the highly illiberal and collectivist Charlottetown consensus report, a report that virtually guaranteed its rejection in Quebec by laying the groundwork for a separate Aboriginal citizenship and by further entrenching the concept of equality of the provinces via an equal and elected/appointed Senate.

		Under the new law, Gwen Simpson and Wally Hoffman, owners of a small antique store near Montreal called "The Lyon and the Wallrus," faced a $500 fine because the English and French on their sign were the same size.
