The year 1968 in Canada was an extraordinary one, unlike any other
in its frenetic pace of activities and their consequences for the
development of a new national consciousness among Canadians. It was
a year when decisions and actions, both in Canada and outside its
borders, were thick and contentious, and whose effects were
momentous and far-reaching. It saw the rise of Trudeaumania and the
birth of the Parti Quebecois; the articulation of the new
nationalism in English Canada and an alternative vision for
Indigenous rights and governance; a series of public hearings in
the Royal Commission on the Status of Women; the establishment of
the Canadian Radio and Television Commission, nation-wide Medicare
and CanLit; and a striving for both a new relationship with the
United States and a more independent foreign policy everywhere
else. And more. Virtually no segment of Canadian life was untouched
by both the turmoil and the promise of generational change.
Published in English with chapters in French.
