          <body><![CDATA[I found this academic text interesting, but so targeted to an audience of political scientists that it was almost impenetrable. Gagnon and Iacovino dream for a Quebec that was lost the moment Upper and Lower Canada merged their interests in the Union Act of 1841.

The book suffers from trying to cover too much about too much, so it brushes politics, planning, economics, culture and society without really connecting the subjects from time period to time period in a choesive manner. <br/><br/>...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/31100599">more...</a>]]></body>
