Summary
René Lévesque was born into a Quebec dominated by the Catholic Church, rural values, and Anglophone control of business. He was part of the 1960s Quiet Revolution that saw the province become a secular society bent on economic success and,… for some, political independence. A journalist, war reporter, and television host, Lévesque channeled his communication skills into politics, founded the Parti Québecois, and permanently altered Canada's political landscape. 2009.
