Pauline Marois and Bernard Landry

Bernard Landry: It was a primary goal of what he called the season of ideas the need to unite the PQs aging founders and their baby-boomer children, raised amid the constitutional battles of the 1980s and 1990s, with a generation not born when the 1980 referendum was held and too young to remember the narrow sovereigntist loss in 1995, according to The Star. Pauline Marois took over from Boisclair, forming a short-lived government that thanks to the April 7 election recorded the PQs worst vote share since the partys inception in 1970 and More than a decade ago, then Parti Quebecois leader Bernard Landry set out on a mission to bring forth and multiply Quebec sovereigntists new and old under his partys banner. That season of ideas quickly turned from an optimistic spring to an inhospitable winter. Landry was pushed out of his post in 2005 and was replaced by Andre Boisclair, a young, gay, admitted former drug user who was himself forced out after scoring a disastrous third-place finish in the 2006 election.
