Tossup

One event that precipitated this historical period was a four-month labor dispute between miners and the Denver-based Johns-Manville Company. Reforms during this period were influenced by an educational treatise called The Impertinences of Brother Anonymous. A party elected at the start of this period used the slogan “now or never / masters in our own house.” Politicians dubbed the “three wise men” covered an event that laid the groundwork for this period, the Asbestos strike, in the newspaper Le Devoir (10[1])(“luh duv-WAHR”). This period countered the preceding “Great Darkness,” during which religious conservatism was enacted by Maurice Duplessis (10[1])(“doo-pleh-SEE”). For 10 points, the 1960 election of Jean Lesage (“luh-SAHZH”) has traditionally been considered the start of what period of upheaval and social restructuring in Quebec? ■END■
