Time to Say Goodbye: Building a Better Canada Without Quebec

Front Cover
McClelland & Stewart, 2007 - Political Science - 189 pages
It’s time to imagine a new Canada without Quebec. After forty years of the Quiet Revolution, the province has made its point clear: it is a distinct society, and its political values are incompatible with those of the rest of the country. Instead of letting the threat of separation determine the national agenda, Canada needs to recognize that Quebec will never be satisfied within the Canadian federation and stop making concessions to it. In this new edition of the national bestseller, Reed Scowen makes the calm, persuasive argument that it’s time to reaffirm who we are as Canadians and forge a stronger, more prosperous nation without Quebec.
