I'm doing a project on him, and I've been watching some videos of him on youtube; it seems that every other comment is from a Quebecer claiming he "raped Quebec", "was the equivalent of Hitler to the Jews (to Quebec)", "was the worst prime minister", "masturbates to the Union Jack" and the like. However, to me, it seems he did a kit of things to promote bilingualism and Quebec; the Charter of Rights, mandating French be taught in English speaking schools, promoting unity, etc... For most of his term as prime minister, his party had the majority of seats in Quebec. Secondly (during his terms), public opinion polls in Quebec leant heavily his favor. Public opinion in Quebec even supported his evoking the War Measures Act to root out and destroy the FLQ; he also helped defeat seperatism in the 1980 referendum. If they loved him them so much then (even during his resignation), why do so many Quebecers hate him now?
