- Jeune-Canada
Jeune-Canada was a
French Canadian right-wing nationalist movement founded inQuebec and active during the 1930s. Launched in 1932 in reaction to the public nominations of unilingualanglophone s, the movement reached its apogee the following year, in 1933.As a movement, Jeune-Canada was corporatist and ultramontanist; its leaders claimed to be fierce protectors of the sovereignty of Quebec. The movement gathered together many of the future elites who would later contribute to the
Quiet Revolution , even though the ideals of the Quiet Revolution were quite different from those of Jeune-Canada.The movement was never officially dissolved; some members still declared themselves as members of Jeune-Canada in 1939. The files of the organization are maintained by the
Lionel Groulx Foundation .Notable members
