Samuel de Champlain: at the origins of French Americafrom Eric Thierry

The return of the Blues: the intellectual roots of Quebec nationalismfrom Etienne-Alexandre Beauregard
A rereading of our political history which highlights the divide between the nationalist Blues and the liberal reds from François-Xavier Garneau and Lord Durham. The challenges of language, secularism and immigration which occupy us today demonstrate that identity has supplanted sovereignty in political debate, and that the nationalist Blues must first be brought together to ensure the future of the Quebec nation.
