Quebec’s Levesque eyes independence and 1970 election delay
Rene Levesque envisions Quebec declaring independence and negotiating a Canada-wide economic union. The Parti Quebecois aims to grow on TV exposure while delaying an election until 1970 unless signs of party momentum push Bertrand to vote sooner. The Liberal angle grows if Union Nationale’s decline reshapes odds. Immigrant children to French schools, French as business language, and a guaranteed closed shop seek a distinctive Quebec model.
