Page "René Lévesque" Paragraph 32

Lévesque today remains an important figure of the Quebec nationalist movement, and is considered sovereigntism's spiritual father.

After his death, even people in disagreement with some of those convictions now generally recognise his importance to the history of Quebec.

Many in Quebec regard him as the father of the modern Quebec nation.

According to a study made in 2006 by Le Journal de Montréal and Léger Marketing, René Lévesque was considered by far, according to Québécois, the best premier to run the province over the last 50 years.
