His federalistic approach holds prospects of a type of Canadian nationalism that sees Quebec not as a small player in Canada but as a major one,…

This was due to the fact that Trudeau was essentially trying, in creating these policies, to answer the question that the Canadian intellectuals were struggling since World War II 's conclusion. This question was: "If [Canadians] are not British [due to the rapid decline of the British Empire] and not American [due to Canadians ' long held distrust of American power and influence]…
