An excellent overview of the life and passions of the man who changed the face of Québec, and Canadian, politics.
René Lévesque: The Fascinating Life of a Separatist Icon |
| A shrewd politician, René Lévesque made Québec
separatism a reality. The Parti Québécois thrived because of his
passion, integrity, and considerable charm. It has been said that when he spoke
to someone, he gave the feeling that he or she was the most important person in
the world. In an era when some preferred to use firebombs to get their point
across, Lévesque wanted Quebeckers to vote on separation. But in May
1980, the people of Québec voted a resounding "no". For Lévesque,
it was the end of a dream. An excellent overview of the life and passions of the man who changed the face of Québec, and Canadian, politics. |
