Politics, Quebec-Style and Nixon Family Politics

New parties emerge as the old ones falter: The Agenda examines Quebec's shifting political landscape. And, Ontario's first political family, the Nixons.

Federally, the NDP's Orange wave just about wiped out the Bloc. Are these mild tremors shifting Quebec's political landscape or do they signify a more profound political realignment?
