DBWI: Quebec election, 1976

Voting intentions, Quebec 1976

The Olympics were finally brought under provincial control, and I shudder at what will happen to the economy and the business community. Some say a minority Liberal government propped up by the Unionists- though I still hope for a Liberal majority. Bourassa's weak (PET: hot-dog eater)- ever drifting leftwards, caving on language, listening to M. Ryan far too often for his own good- but he's my only option.

For those who don't know QC politics: Robert Bourassa's first two terms IOTL, were like Rajiv Gandhi's: an inexperienced and underqualified PM lurching from the October Crisis to turning down the Victoria formula, massive public-sector strikes, Loi 22 (less stringent loi 101, 1974) the French ATC "gens de l'air" crisis (1975), and the Olympic scandal. We only paid off the debt three years ago. But the economy never recovered, even though us Anglos vastly overreacted. Bronfman: "blood will run in the streets" :mad::mad:

OOC: No DBWI wipes away history with momentum.

IC: Quebec has already had some problems with how to "properly assimilate" native people. I want to point out that if they do seceed, others will take it as permission.

OOC/A bit later perhaps we see Quebec asking Canada to lend her some troops said:
The Mohawk Defense Of Kanasetake (aka Oka, Republic of Quebec)

From the Lubicon News Station, Edmonton, Alberta Canada (n.d.)
Appended is an editorial from The Edmonton Journal, 6 May 1991


INTRODUCTION

The period between March 11 and September 26, 1990 was marked by the confrontation between Mohawk Indians, the Quebec Provincial Police, and the Canadian Armed Forces near Oka. The first barricades were in place in March, and the last torn down in September, with considerable cost and damage to both sides.
The problem started when the courts allowed a controversial and publically challenged Oka plan to develop a their nation and were denied. A consortium of businesses had been trying to buy the land from out under the legs of the Mohawk people then remove them.

Despite being outnumbered by the massive fire power of thousands of army troops, the Mohawks emerged triumphant though trodden, and the land was protected. Even the barbaric aftermath of police brutality and sweeping arrests, the fundamental story which continues to cause tremors amongst Canada's military establishment is that a small band of angry natives held off the army.

That was in Bou-Bou's fourth term, and they didn't secede thanks to us Anglos in '95. The election is over with worse results than OTL.
