En 1976, les Québécois ont élu René Lévesque non par conviction politique, mais parce qu'ils en avaient assez du gouvernement sortant. M. Lévesque ne l'a jamais oublié, au grand désarroi des partisans de la ligne dure au sein de son parti qui, sous la direction de Jacques Parizeau, l'ont abandonné.
