“…For example, historian Blair Neatby argued that “English Canadians should admit that in the past they have only grudgingly accepted the existence of French Canada. On many occasions we have tried to impose policies which ignored or threatened its existence” (cited in Lapointe-Gagnon, 2014: 160). In simple terms, two options are then possible.…”

How has English-speaking Canadian political science conceived of the relationship between Quebec and Canada? Why has an issue that has been considered central for more than three decades become less attractive, if not marginal, within the discipline? The aim is to examine, from this example, the overlapping relationship between science and politics. The intent is also to show that Canadian political science has examined the Quebec/Canada relationship from four different angles: 1) its interest in Quebec politics was part of the urgency of the moment, based on a crisis that challenged the foundations of the political system; 2) it questioned the legitimacy of the sources of the dispute, namely the compatibility between the new expressions of Quebec nationalism with the presumed principles on which the Canadian political community had been founded; 3) Quebec nationalism also encouraged a reflection on the existence (or not) of “English Canada” as a sociological and political reality; 4) the combination of the first three factors caused the prescriptions for getting out of, or resolving, the crisis to evolve over time, to the point of rendering research on this issue obsolete.

“…Ainsi, il était clair, pour les deux parties, que le Dictionnaire servirait d'abord l'idéal d'un Canada de la dualité des cultures et des expériences historiques. Cet idéal, qui avait présidé à la création, au milieu du siècle dernier, par l'État canadien, des grandes institutions culturelles linguistiquement divisées comme Radio-Canada (1936) ou encore l'Office national du film (1939) et qui avait connu son apogée lors de la tenue de la commission Laurendeau-Dunton 71 , imprimera au dictionnaire un mode de fonctionnement conséquent. Les auteurs allaient être recrutés au Canada français comme au Canada anglais ; les biographies seraient rédigées en français ou en anglais, selon la langue de préférence de l'auteur ; chaque biographie, une fois passée à la révision, serait ensuite traduite dans l'autre langue, de telle manière à constituer deux manuscrits, l'un en français et l'autre en anglais, de facture identique et avec un même contenu.…”
