War correspondent
He worked as an announcer and news writer at the radio station CHNC in New Carlisle, as a substitute announcer for CHRC during 1941 and 1942, and then at CBV in Quebec City. During 1944–1945, he served as a liaison officer and war correspondent for the U.S. Army in Europe. He reported from London while it was under regular bombardment by the Luftwaffe, and advanced with the Allied troops as they swept back the Nazis through France and Germany. Through the war, he made regular journalistic reports on the airwaves and in print. He was with the first unit of Americans to reach the Dachau concentration camp, and was profoundly touched by what he witnessed.
In 1947, he married Louise L'Heureux, with whom he would have two sons and a daughter. Lévesque worked as a reporter for the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation's French Language sector in the international service. He once more served as a war correspondent for the CBC in the Korean War in 1952. After that war, he was offered a career in journalism in the United States, but decided to stay in Quebec.

On March 8th 2007, British Columbia justice Nicole GARSON court-ordered Maximilien and Josephine Gettliffe-Grant from speaking French to their mother.
What would René think of Nicole GARSON outlawing the Gettliffe-Grant children from speaking French, Canada's other official language?
What would lawyer Pierre Trudeau have said concerning this whole affair.
And John Diefenbaker over the treatment of the mother and the forced detention of the children in "the true north strong and free"!
I think all would have said.... this is a story of vengeance.... and has nothing to do with upholding the law of CANADA!
