What happened to the Quebec sovereignty movement after 1995? In
Sleeping Dogs, Andrew McDougall reveals how a change in federalist
strategy, combined with an improving political context, helped
Canada stabilize its federal system and bury the "Quebec question"
for the foreseeable future. The book identifies five potential
reasons the Quebec sovereignty movement lost momentum and argues
that all contributed to a political environment that benefited
federalists. McDougall explores topics of elite accommodation,
generational change, changing identity politics, economic
globalization, and constitutional fatigue. He argues that
Canada’s federalist political elites have capitalized on these
developments to stabilize the country by dropping the national
question – even when they might still hold very different visions
of the Constitution. Building on "constitutional abeyance" theory,
the author conceives of this strategic change as the restoration of
a constitutional abeyance among federalist actors. Considering
recent history in light of subsequent developments, Sleeping Dogs
is a timely and important attempt to understand the evolving
situation in Quebec and Canadian federalism.
