‘British Columbians a Breed
Apart from Rest of Canada

This ‘column, by Province
news service chief Charles
Lynch, ‘appeared’ just days be-
fore last week's federal ‘clsction;
The views expressed in it. are
important in’ light’ of the ,elec-
tlon, results which saw. the Lib:

tists‘ during:the 1962 campaign
and treated them with: the good

‘| bring’ to bear ‘on the: species,

since we ‘invented : separatism
along with ‘Confederation “100
years ago and 80, have learned

:| to live with both,

During the 1963 campaign,

‘| the B.C. separatists were ° still

here ‘and. I asked _ the |. good-

This was a reference to the
well-nown ' fact that. British
Columbians: are a breed apart
and their main emotion toward
thelr , fellow, Canadians’ beyond
the mountains is one of pity.

Now it is 1985, and upon
consulting my separatist friends
I-find them even more -vocal
than before, and beginning *to
get that glint in their eye that
their Quebec brethren assumed
with such good effect three’ ‘or
four years ago.

: What's more, Premier Ben-
nett of B.C, has been stumping
the ‘province like.a dervish ‘dur- | 0]

ing this’ campaign, laying his
tongue to every epithet he can
find pertaining to the Liberal
government in Ottawa.

“While Bennett makes the
Liberals his target, his remarks
seem to be anti-Ottawa in gen-
eral, and he seems to be preach-
ing a brand of regional nation-
alism. more extreme. than any.
