ABSTRACT
Frédéric Boily examines the Canadian right from three angles: firstly, its long history; secondly, its qualitative transformation during the 1980s; and thirdly, its regional diversity. An exploration of its roots shows that the Canadian right by the end of the nineteenth century radically differs from its expression by the 1980s, when a neoliberal fashion led it in a different direction. This turn is more clearly seen in Western Canada, especially in Alberta, but it can also be observed in other provinces such as Ontario. In Quebec, meanwhile, the right shares some affinities with its counterparts in other provinces, but it remains state-focused and determined to defend Quebec's cultural singularity.
