Reesor Siding, Nord de l’Ontario, nuit du 10 au 11 février 1963. Un affrontement en forêt fait trois morts. Quelques semaines avant la nuit du drame, les travailleurs de la Spruce Falls Power and Paper Company déclenchent une grève. Or, les cultivateurs des environs, qui possèdent des droits de coupe, continuent de vendre leur bois à la papetière, au grand dam des ouvriers. Pierre Ménard est l’un de ceux-là. Il fréquente Madeleine, dont le père, Hermas, est en grève. Pris dans ce climat de tension, les deux hommes se retrouvent dans des camps opposés. Dans Défenses légitimes, Doric Germain met en lumière, avec humanité et sens de l’histoire, le contexte de la tuerie. Car en filigrane du drame se joue le destin de deux groupes dans un monde en transformation : celui des cultivateurs attachés à un mode de vie en voie de disparition, et celui d’une classe de travailleurs syndiqués aspirant à une nouvelle forme de modernité.
