- Title
MARSHALL MCLUHAN'S CURIOUS CONNECTION TO QUEBEC.
- Authors
Slater, Jonathan R.
- Abstract
Marshall McLuhan writes that during the Quiet Revolution, Quebec Francophones leapfrogged from colonial times straight into the 20th century. Making such observations from the peaceful vantage point of Toronto, McLuhan was not unmoved by the abrasiveness surfacing in Quebec between French and English populations - a mutual alienation often referred to as "two solitudes," coined from the title of Hugh MacLennan's 1945 novel. Nonetheless, McLuhan may have played a role in stemming Quebec's revolutionary aspirations, apparently having counselled Prime Minister Pierre Elliott Trudeau about effectively using mass media in the Canadian government's dealings with the population of Quebec.
