Homage to Henri Bourassa
Let’s talk a bit about Henri Bourassa. The French-Canadian, grandson of the politician and patriot Louis-Joseph Papineau, became quickly involved in politics to defend the interests of his French-speaking fellow citizens. Elected to parliament in 1896, he opposed conscription in the context of the Boer’s War.
He confronted Wilfrid Laurier, future first minister of Canada, treating him as sold to the British cause. Throughout his career, he opposed British imperialism and pleaded for the emancipation of the French-Canadian people and for the repatriation of legislative power.
In 1903, he founded the Canadian Nationalist League with the aim of creating a national feeling opposed to the British crown among Canadians. He then founded the newspaper Le Devoir in 1910. Resolutely nationalist in a good sense, this newspaper still exists in paper and electronic versions in Quebec.
He again opposed conscription during the First World War. Henri Bourassa died in 1952 at the age of 83 with the aura of champions of the Canadian-French cause. – Patrice Loranger
