POL 2101 Lecture Notes - Quiet Revolution, Charter Of The French Language, Making Money
Document Summary
French canada before 1960s was a very catholic society. January 18, 2013: many people took all their advice/thoughts/opinions form what the prest said on sunday, there was a very formal role of the church. Where ever you were in canada if you were french and catholic you were french. Series of broad, quiet political changes: the old ways of thinking is no longer suited, this desire to change comes from some young quebecers. Almost overnight the church loses a lot of its power and influence in quebec society. The church is no longer part of politics. Quebec goes from one of the most catholic places in western society to one of the most secular. Religion still is a large part of french culture in canada: religion is replaced by language, the territorial nature of french canada is re-defined. French canadians outside of quebec become removed from the politics. The major influence for change becomes the state: quebec modernises.
