The 1960s and 1970s were a tumultuous time in Canada, especially in the province of Quebec. Quebec's 'Quiet Revolution', a series of reforms carried out at breathtaking speed, gave the Quebec people a new sense of identity. As a province largely populated by French speakers in a country largely populated by English speakers, Quebec faced unique challenges. As Quebec developed its own identity, Canada as a whole also gained a new sense of itself. The Canadian Flag, adopted in 1965, was symbolic of this developing image. In this book, you will read about the high and low points Canadians experienced in the 1960s and 1970s: Expo 67, the triumphant World's Fair some Canadians regarded as 'the best thing Canada had ever done'; the FLQ Crisis of October 1970, when a terrorist group who believed Quebec should leave the rest of Canada held many in fear of their lives; environmental groups, and government agencies' struggles to balance efficiency and ecology; and, in 1982, Canada's final ownership of its constitution after prolonged and often heated political debates.
