Canadian politics changed dramatically on November 15, 1976 with the stunning election victory of Ren\u00e9 L\u00e9vesque and the Parti Qu\u00e9b\u00e9cois.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
This book tells the story behind that election campaign, offering the background that explains how L\u00e9vesque won–and why. It considers why Robert Bourassa called the election even though secret Liberal polls were unfavourable, and examines the role played by Pierre Trudeau and the federal party in arranging a virtual takeover of the provincial party during the campaign.<\/p>\n
