Synopsis

Not only Quebec, but the rest of Canada will benefit by letting the province go its separate way, says Scowen, a three-term member of the Quebec legislature, economic advisor, and diplomat for Quebec in foreign capitals. Without the linguistic and political contention that has rocked the country since 1976, Canada would be more prosperous, generous, and hospitable, he argues, and it is time for Canadians to acknowledge that Quebec's national aspirations can never be satisfied within confederation. He has not indexed his tract. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
