He became premier of Quebec after winning the 1960 election with the slogan-- Ca temps q'ca change.in the old times-- C'est le temps que ça change (It’s time for a change). Lesage's victory brought to an end the long reign of the conservative Union Nationale party that had governed Quebec since 1944 under the leadership of Maurice Duplessis (until 1959). Lesage's election campaign ushered the Quiet Revolution, which began to change the traditional domination of Quebec's economy by English-speaking Canadians, and the traditional domination of the public lives of French-speaking Quebeckers by the Catholic Church was replaced by a larger role for the government of Quebec. |

No, it was not part of his political agenda. He did favor greater autonomy for Quebec, but he did not call for separitism. |

Hi Gina! I've made the trip from our Ontario office just north of London back-and-forth to the Maritimes more times than I care to remember. (LOL) The route I've always taken is 401 to the Quebec 20, through the Lafontaine tunnel (avoid Montreal during rush-hour at ALL cost) straight through to Riviere-du-Loup, then the 2-lane #185 to the Quebec/New Brunswick border. Then #2 to the NS border which then becomes #104. At Truro, take #102 to Halifax. (Careful here, it's the ONLY exit to Halifax) As mentioned, it'll take you about 17 hours of driving to get you here. BEWARE! As Quebec #20 shadows the mighty St. Lawrence River, northerly winds can induce snowsqualls at almost ANY time. Do NOT attempt this trip without GOOD all-season or snow tires this time of year! (Edit- The Province of Quebec has a new snow tire law in effect from November 15 to April 15. It is now an offence if you don't have snow tires installed!) Hope this has been helpful to you, Here's the route! http://maps.yahoo.com/#mvt=m&l at=45.72671&lon=-71.339625&zoo m=7&q1=Toronto%20Ontario&q2=Ha lifax%20Nova%20Scotia Good Luck! |
