The October crisis of 1970 opened a new chapter in Canadian history that was at once bizarre and tragic, unbelievable and terrifying. For three months Canadians knew only what the FLQ told them. Their communiqués were almost the only hard news the public had, and it is their communiqués and official government statements that form much of this documentary narrative. No useful purpose would be served by another account of the October crisis where fact and rumour, interpretation and polemics, were indistinguishable, as they were in much of the reporting and in many of the instant books that followed hard on the heels of the crisis. This is Quebec 70 as it happened, as the public and the governments experienced it, without the benefit of hindsight or the dangers of speculation.

In 1977 even the debate over national unity was overshadowed by continuing concern for the economy. Lack of international confidence, fall of the dollar, weaknesses in the industrial sector, and near record levels of unemployment more than tested the Trudeau government. Donald Macdonald followed John Turner out of finance and was replaced by Jean Chretien, the first francophone minister of finance in Canadian history. A final decision on the northern pipeline ended years of debate, but the activities of the RCMP at home and Canadian crown corporations and multinationals abroad more than filled the gap.Quebec's Charter of the French Language moved the province sharply towards unilingualism, but did not destroy the educational rights of the existing anglophone minority. The Levesque government planned its referendum, while Trudeau toyed with the idea of a national referendum and kept the question of constitutional revision alive.

In 1976 capital punishment was abolished, and Time Canada was legislated out of existence. The Berger Commission's pipeline enquiry became an unprecedented examination of the southern impact on the Canadian North and its peoples. After the Anti-Inflation Board's first full year inflation rates were declining, but the economy was sluggish and unemployment was up.In international affairs a framework for the contractual agreement was signed between Canada and the European Communities: the Saskatchewan government's first steps towards nationalizing potash became an issuel and widespread controversy arose over the decision not to allow Taiwanese athletes at the Olympics to compete as representatives of the Republic of China.Joe Clark narrowly defeated Claude Wagner to become Conservative leader; a crisis blew up over air safety and the use of French in the air; and Jean Marchand and James Richardson resigned from the federal cabinet over bilingualism.

in 1975 the fight against inflation finally led to the imposition of wage and price controls. The controversy this step aroused contributed to a growing sense of political drift in Ottawa, symbolized by the prime minister's expressed doubts about the future of the free enterprise system and accentuated by surprising election results in Ontario and British Columbia. Federal-rpvincial battles over cost-shaing and control of communications persited, and the autopact showed signed of deterioration.

Many people with orderly minds tend to see in the office and functions of the Lieutenant-Governor simply a copy in essentials of what they profess to find at Westminster and Ottawa. The truth is that no very exact parallel between the two major governments can be drawn, and when the Lieutenant-Governor is brought into the comparison, the points in which he resembles the sovereign and the Governor-General are found to be almost as misleading as they are enlightening. Great developments in all three positions have occurred in the last seventy-five years, and the Lieutenant-Governorship has perhaps altered the least. It is this office and its history which form the subject of this book. The study by its very nature must be one primarily of precedents; and Dr. Saywell has unearthed an impressive number to augment the few which have hitherto been common knowledge. The result throws a great deal of light on a controversial office which in recent years has tended quite wrongly to be regarded as negligible.

One of Canada's leading historians and political commentators traces the evolution of the Parti québécois from 1967 to 1976. This account, collected from yearly political surveys originally published in the Canadian Annual Review between 1967 and 1975, provides a complete and objective narrative of the party's history and its context in Quebec politics and society. Professor Saywell draws the story together with an introduction, a linking narrative, and a final chapter on 1976 and the events surrounding the party's stunning victory in the November election. Professor Saywell presents the history of the Parti québécois as it happened in a book that will interest all concerned with the destiny of Quebec and Canada.

Those who describe Ontario political leaders as bland or boring do not remember the days of Mitchell Hepburn. Premier of the province from 1934 to 1942, Hepburn was impetuous, exuberant, charismatic, creative, and, for a time, wildly successful as a politician. In this biography John Saywell presents the larger-than-life figure in all his contradictions. Here is a richly detailed account of the man, his career, and his times. Born in rural southwestern Ontario in 1896, he was first elected as a Liberal in the federal election of 1926. Four years later he was chosen to lead the Liberals in Ontario, and in a stunning victory in 1934, Mitch drove out the tottering Tory government. These were turbulent times in the province's political life. They saw the deepening of the Depression, the rise of the CCF, impassioned debates over prohibition and separate-school funding, and a bitter strike at General Motors in Oshawa. Mitch was at the centre of it all. Although a lifelong Liberal, Hepburn maintained a stubborn independence. He and Mackenzie King were on a collision course from the beginning. Over time relations between them deteriorated into open hostility and eventually all-out war, a war which Hepburn ultimately lost. The struggle between them weakened the Liberal party and took a toll on Hepburn's health. There were other factors at work on his health, of course. The pressures of politics never kept Mitch from enjoying himself. Saywell describes the late-night excursions to Hull during the Ottawa years, the bull sessions with cronies at Toronto's Kind Edward Hotel, and the numerous extramarital episodes that were never kept very secret. In his private life, as in his public, Mitch was often the victim of his own excesses. Replete with anecdotes and insights, both personal and political,'Just call me Mitch'is the irresistible biography of an irrepressible character.
