Rene Levesque was first and foremost a Quebec nationalist but leaned more towards an ongoing association with Canada probably more in the spirit of  the original Confederation. He was a great journalist-reporter during WW2 (U.S. Army) and later at Radio-Canada-CBC. He was no radical but as the article says a liberal democrat who accepted democratic verdicts. We need more Rene Levesques and should finance his museum to educate others on what true democracy means. Even if he had won the 1980 referendum  to negotiate sovereignty association it would have been more in line with  the 1867 Confederation and try to change the concentration of federal power that transformed Canada post 1867.
