The assembly is not in session; however, there are 3 deaths and 9 injured. *1984 - Pierre Trudeau resigns as Prime Minister of Canada after taking a "walk in the snow" to think it over. *1984 - John Turner succeeds Trudeau as Prime Minister of Canada, only to be defeated three months later by Brian Mulroney. *1984 - Brian Mulroney, born in Baie-Comeau, Quebec, is elected Prime Minister of Canada. *1984 - René Lévesque accepts the ''beau risque'' of constitutional negotiations with the new Mulroney government. This leads to a serious split within the Parti Québécois. *1985 - Exhausted by infighting within his party, René Lévesque resigns as premier and leader of the Parti Québécois. *1985 - Quebec general election: Liberals win. *1987 - The Meech Lake Accord is agreed to by federal and provincial governments. However, it was never ratified. *1987 - René Lévesque dies. *1987 - July 14, Montreal is completely paralyzed by the heavy downpour of a series of thunderstorms during the Montreal Flood of 1987. *1988 - Canada-U.S. Free Trade Agreement is negotiated, with broad support from both sides of the political spectrum in Quebec. *1989 - A geomagnetic storm in northern Quebec causes a nine-hour blackout in parts of province on March 13. Owing to a ripple effect in the transmission lines that feed Quebec-produced energy to New York State, ultimately to New York City; and combined with a number of localised problems there and in neighbouring New Jersey and Long Island, the storm hundreds of miles away in the wilds of northern Quebec also ends up blacking out New York City for several hours. *1989 - Quebec general election: Liberals are re-elected. *1989 - École Polytechnique massacre on December 6. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Timeline of Quebec history (1982–present)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
