STORIES OF POLITICIANS

STORIES OF POLITICIANS... 
By Bernard Bujold - 
If there is one conclusion to be drawn from Jean-François Lisée’s books on René Lévesque and Pierre Elliott Trudeau, it is that Quebec of yesteryear was a golden age for far-reaching political ideas... Personally, I really enjoyed the first volume of Lisée’s historical work on the origins of these two figures, as I wanted to get to know Lévesque’s personality up close—he, like me, comes from the Gaspé Peninsula, he from New Carlisle and I from Bonaventure. Lisée’s second volume, which has just been published, this time offers us a look at the political stances of these two great statesmen. The book will appeal to political observers, particularly as the October 5 elections in Quebec approach. 
Does the inspiration projected by Lévesque and Trudeau still exist in 2026? Political inspiration exists in every era in one way or another; you just have to discover it. Reading Lisée’s two books can help us better understand the vision of Paul St-Pierre Plamondon and, conversely, that of Mark Carney and his Quebec allies opposed to separation.
