Elected to the National Assembly of Quebec, Jean Lesage's Liberal Party won the 1960 Quebec general election, campaigning with the slogan of C ’ est le temps que ça change ( It ’ s time things changed ) and putting an end to the long reign of the Union nationale that had governed Quebec under Maurice Duplessis since 1935 ( except for the period from 1940 to 1944 ).

By 1935, however, the Conservatives had an ambitious new leader, Maurice Duplessis.

The Quiet Revolution began with the enacted Liberal provincial government of Jean Lesage, who was elected in the June 1960 provincial election and marked the end of Premier Maurice Duplessis ' reign, known by some as the Grande Noirceur ( Great Darkness ) but by others as the last champion of a holy and wholesome Quebec.
