Make Montreal retain economic supremacy over TO until the present day. POD 1955. First step: Rene Levesque dies in childbirth in 1922. The PQ would not have become a mainstream party without him. Second step: Paul Sauve lives and reforms the Unionist party into a regular conservative party, allowing a left-right spectrum in Quebec instead of OTL's Fed/Separatist one. This requires a successor other than Daniel Johnson Sr., who made the UN into a conservative PQ in the mid 60's, despite Duplessis' explicit denunciation ("criminal idea") of the clerico-fascist separatism that died in the early 1960's, led by the notorious Abbe Lionel Groulx.
