Bourassa The Artful Dodger in Quebec Row
The piece profiles Bourassa and the Quebec political scene as Canada faces a constitutional issue. It notes a campaign by Canada-Quebec, a group of 400 English speaking Quebecers, to keep Quebec in Canada. Neil McKenty co founded the effort aiming to foster generosity for a climate of institutional decisions. The article links West pressures, Bourassa’s strategy, and Parizeau’s calls for street protests, suggesting Bourassa avoids frontal attacks and hopes Ottawa returns a package Quebecers will back.
