For resident Canucks/Canuckophiles, the challenge is to make one or more of these QC politicos Premier. Claude Ryan (shudders), Gerald Tremblay (shrugs), and Dr Camille Laurin (leaves for Toronto). In OTL Tremblay is Mayor of Montreal, now poised for a third term, and was Minister of Industry from 1989-93. Claude Ryan, the publisher of then-influential Le Devoir, became Liberal leader in 1978, and lost the 1981 election to Levesque in a Dewey-like manner. In Bourassa III-IV Cabinet, he became the minister responsible for the language portfolio, involved in the notwithstanding clause decision. Retired in '94 and died a few years later. Dr Laurin is infamous in Quebec and Eastern Canada, the architect of loi 101 and all the fireworks since. Political affiliations: Ryan is a Bourassa Liberal, centre-left and nationalistic. Tremblay, centre-right, Laurin, left period. Ardent independatiste. Good refs: MacDonald's book on Bourassa (2nd ed) and Graham Fraser on Levesque/PQ (only till 1984).
