When the talk turned to British triumphs, like the pivotal battle on the Plains of Abraham in 1759, ‘it was my turn to applaud,"’ he told an inter- viewer years later Trudeau's provocative some Quebecers say contemptuous — at titude toward his roots is at the heart of his lifelong battle against Quebec nationalists, suggests a new book on the formet prime minister by journalist Michel Vastel Trudeau adopted his mother’s name Elliott, partly to annoy his nationalist classmates, Vastel writes in Trudeau, le Quebecois — mais la colombe avait des griffes de faucon (Trudeau, the Quebecer: But the Dove had Claws of a Hawk), so far available only in French. The young Trudeau made a point of speaking with a Parisian French ac- cent, scorning Quebec inflections and idioms, the book says. And he ex- pressed doubt about Quebecers’ aspirations, drawing links between nationalism and nazism ‘ *TOSAY NO’ Nearly five decades later, when the new Constitution was proclaimed without Quebec's assent in 1981, he confided he had entered federal politics ‘‘precisely to say No" to * Quebec Vastel’s book recounts Trudeau's childhood and student years, his globe trotting and brief flirtation with pacifist and left-wing politics, his triumphant entry on to the national Stage and Trudeaumania in the 1968 election campaign. uebec had been}ruled by and -ofte! blessing of the Roman The old authoritariag leaders, witht Catholic clergy ASSAILED GHOST But Trudeau was absent for mugh of the Quiet Revolution of the 1960s which sharply transformed Quebec Vastel provides fresh-iasight into the c..

The book also attempts to explain Trudeau's obsession with destroying the Quebec nationalist movement — and his failure to do so Vastel contends that a haughty con- tempt for Quebecers blinded Trudeau to.their aspirations and evolution over the past four decades.

Vastel argues that he never shook thé image of the hated old order Trudeau ‘‘still speaks as if he’s talking about a prodigal son who left him, the family delinquent you report to the police and have thrown in jail," writes Vastel, who has covered national politics since 1978, first for the Montreal daily Le Devoir and now for the Quebec newspaper chain le groupe Edimedia The book is based on Vastel’s ex- periences covering Trudeau their ericounters were often stormy — as well as thorough research and detailed conversations with those who worked with the former prime minister, who left federal politics in 1984 It’s a portrait of an aging and woun ded lion. who has ~become largely irrelevant o Trudeau, le Quebecois — mais la colombe avait des griffes de faucon.

Presto — Rush carries on By BILL ANDERSON The Canadian Press With little fanfare at home, Rush just carries on as Canada’s léading ex port to the world of pop music. Rush has been on the Canadian scene for almost 20 years now, and its new record, Presto, marks the 17th * release for this progressive-rock power trio. Yet perhaps because they. play a loud, abstract and rather un- fashionable brand of music, their suc- cess may not be widely appreciated in Canada. : But consider their staggering sales figures — 30 million albums world- wide, according to their Toronto- based label Anthem Records. By comparison, a spokesman for Anne Murray estimates the singer has sold 20 million albums around the Open 5:30 p.m Sunday Brunch 10:30 am. - 1:00 p.m. Reservations 825-4466 FRI ](SAT]{SUN)|MON [TUE] (WED [THU} SHOW TIMES 7.00 & 9.00% ‘Two of LAs top rival cops are going to have to work together...

For Bryan Adams, the estimate is between 14 and 15 million; for Bachman-Turner Overdrive, about 10 million LOYAL FANS If Rush has become the most suc- cessful pop music act in Canadian history, it has done so, in a sense, by ignoring pop trends. Most progressive rockers faded away in the late ’70s, but Rush just kep at it, developing an in- tensely loyal following for a kind of music that, if done right, was plainly stillin demand. This is perhaps the essence of Rush — a serious commitment to their own music combined with strong respect for the audience. “*We always pour our hearts into an album,"’, says drummer and. lyricist Neil Peart. ‘‘But it’s also the artist’s responsibility to communicate what you're trying to say well enough, so that people can get it “It’s not being commercial, it’s being accessible.” This kind of conceptual hair- splitting is typical of Peart, who said during the recent interview in Toronto that he likes to ‘‘drive semantic wedges into ideas that don’t really exist and drag them out and stamp them with something I'm thinking about."’ ENJOYABLE BLEND On the new record, Peart deals with @ number of these self-created conun- drunf®*specially the distinction bet- ween dreams and illusions. In Peart’s view, dreams realizable goals that inspire one to live a better life; illusions are fantasies, of- ten held over from that are just defeat one’s possibilities This can get a bit precious and heady at times — it’s progressive rock, after all. But most of the songs on Presto contain an enjoyable blend of spacey metaphor and literal meaning, provided, as always, you can get past the wailing vocals of bassist Geddy Lee. The most striking tune on Presto isa song called The Pass, which contains a gorgeous, haunting melody in a parablé about the glorification of toughness and anger. It seems par ticularly aimed at youth and working Class culture, wheréthe ‘‘rebel without acause”’ is often viewed as an exciting and romantic figure “That’s certainly the song I worked hardest on, because it’s such a delicate subject,"’ Peart says. ‘‘It’s sad that there are people who are so fragile that they cannot take the brutality of life, but to start honoring that and seeing it as a heroic epic is something dif ferent."” ‘ Considering the blue-collar base of hard-rock audience, this is indeed a delicate point, and more so because Peart, at 37, has achieved success beyond mosi people's wildest dreams. HARDSTART On the other hand, |Rush have worked their way up front nothing “they released their debut album on their own label after no one else would sign them. And Peart himself used to sell farm machinery by day’ while playing the drums in bars at night Peart’s songs, understandably, are optimistic and full of energy, and they seem to stem from a genuine thirst for life. He is an avid cyclist, traveller and adventurer he recently climbed Mount Kilimanjaro in Africa — and there's a wide-eyed sense of wonder on Presto that grows more infectious with each listen Another theme on the album is response,”’ says Peart. ‘The idea that you don't go through life just looking at things.

Via train passengers By IAN BAILEY The Canadian Press Canada’s largest inter-city.bus line will use videos, music and free snacks to woo passengers left stranded by next week's Via cuts. ‘ Greyhound Lines of Canada Ltd. will also add Buses to routes as part of a $15-million bid to cash in on Via Rail Passenger service cuts, marketing vice- president Arthurs Jackman said Tuesday from Calgary. “*We were planning on doing this in the spring when the volume picks up but with the demand and the cutbacks, we've accelerated it.”” Other carriers plan to boost service too, but analysts say courting rail travellers isa waste of time. “This is not a huge windfall for the bus industry,’’ said Brian Crow, president of Ontario Motor Coach Association. Even if half of Via’s riders turned to buses, there would only be a slight in- crease to the 50 million passengers carried annually by Canada’s. bus companies, Crow said ‘*We're looking forward to it but from an industry point of view, it’s only a two per cent Passengers.”’ Half of Via’s trains will be cut Mon- day, Jeaving “the passenger service operating three thrice-weekly trains linking Central Canada with the East and West Coasts, most of its existing Quebec-Ontario corridor trains, a few increase in regiona! routes and eight remote ser- vices. STOP TRAVELLING Chris Holloway, president of Trafi- sport 2000, a lobby group, said from Ottawa his group’s studies of previous Via cuts have shown most travellers either drive or stop travelling. But Jackman said the Via cuts and a 1989 ridership increase have presented Greyhound with an opportunity it ignore. Among other Greyhound plans an- nounced Tuesday: * Fifty-two new buses, each equip- ped to show movies during trips of three or more hours, Passengers will € also be able to listen to stereo music on earphones. Both options will be gradually added to Greyhound’s 375 other buses. ©The bus company will soon show a news broadcast on its Toronto to Lon- don, Ont., runs. © Greyhound staff, dubbed red- oats, went on duty Tuesday at 19 bus stations across Canada to help seat passengers. © Greyhound is renovating its ter- minals in Winnipeg and Vancouver, and has joined Voyageur Enterprises Ltd. and Gray Coach. to rebuild Toronto's outdated bus terminal. © Extrabuses will be added to routes STUDIES TO BE DONE Plans put on GRANDE PRAIRIE, Alta. (CP) — Additional environmental studies will delay Procter and.Gamble’s plans for $510 million in forestry projects in nor- thwestern Alberta. “*We wanted to start work in July, but perhaps we were a little too aggressive,” company spokesman Eric Jerrard said. Work will not begin before early 1991 on a $475-million addition to Petro-Can jo CALGARY (CP) — Calgary-based Petro-Canada has finished cutting 1,200 jobs and is at its lowest staff level in almost a decade. The federal Crown corporation has pared its-workforce from 7,400 to about 6,200 — well below its staff peak - of 10,565 at the end of 1985. The com- pany now has the lowest number of staff since 1982. “What we are ‘doing now is managing the business in a new way with a new asset base and a new em- ployee base," company spokesman Sheila O’Brien said. Most job losses occurred in Calgary, Sound system developed TOKYO (AP) — JVC has developed a digital sound system for VHS videotape, a company of- ficial said Tuesday. This would allow future Super VHS machines to.match compact disc players in sound quality “Digital sound is the wave of the future, so we have developed a digital audio recording method for VHS,”’ the official said Digital recording allows greater dynamic range and lower levels of extraneous ‘noise than conven- tional analogue methods. The new machines will be able to play old VHS tapes, JVC said Prototypes———have been developed, but no date has been set for marketing. The Victor Co. of Japan is the developer of the VHS format anda member of the Matsushita Group, which also makes Panasonic and Technics products. ’ JVC expects a wide range of ap- plications for the new technology, from general consumer goods to professionalequipment. ‘+ primarily in the administrative and support departments, she said Of those employees who left, 372 ac= cepted early retirement. The remaining cuts came through layoffs and volun- tary departures. O’Brien said figures for the layoffs and voluntary depar- tures were not available and may not be made public Besides cutting staff, Petro- Canada has begun divesting properties Procter and Gamble’s Grande Prairie pulp mill and a $35-million wood- processing plant in nearby Manning. Jetrard said the company stalled the projects because ‘‘we wanted to do ad- ditional environmental studies.” But he rejected a suggestion that it was inspired by problems Alberta- Pacific has encountered. Alberta-Pacific faces the possibility of a year-long delay on the start of a S CUT — in which the firm has a small interest The company is also boosting owner- ship in others. Petroleum industry analysts have said the moves are designed to make the company more attractive to in- vestors should Ottawa decide to sell it off. The energy firm put holdings valued at between $100 million and $125 million dp for sale last summer running out of London, Sudbury, Ont., Thunder Bay, Ont., Winnipeg, Regina, Saskatoon, Calgary, Edmon- ton and Vancouver. © Passengers on inter-city routes wily be given free packages containing cookies, juice or coffee. * On some routes,,Greyhound will use 29-seat buses — compared with the usual 44 seats — to provide more leg space.

It will then Prepare an addition to the report that will answer any questions raised at the meetings, Jerrard said. If a review panel also examines the Project, the company is hoping that can be done while the addition is being prepared.
