CASTLEGAR: ‘NEWS, Thursddy, ‘Sept. 17,1964 CASTLEGAR NEWS “ere lot the press the people's rights by gain” n, unawed by : Established. in Nineteen Hundred and pas ane Canad Must Fulfil the Hopes of the Past - A survey released last week by the syndicated MacDuff Ottawa Revert brou- mise, | d by an 1 flash of the Laurier-type generosity of ‘spirit, as has been 'y in the past. ght together opinions on the C ie tion Crisis of some 200 non French-Quo- bec editors representing more than 2 mil- lion readers. Like most surveys the questions were both too general and too specific to reveal jn any simple way what the editors and their readers really think and ‘feel and may in specific instances be prepared to do about the “French fact” in Canada. However, there ran through the survey comments certain recurring themes and feelings which seem at least as. important as the answers to the particular. questions. There was a gentle but strong Can- adian nationalism in almost every com- ment, There was a sprinkling of quite remarkable and unexpected | insight into the li of Fr Canad- ians and their aspirations (British Colum- bia was a particular oasis of thoughtful and enlightened cae There was a- general r 1 ac- companied by a malatively frequent, but not vehement, concern lest “bi-cultural- ism” destroy, rather than fulfil, a gener- ally desired “one Canada”. There was also a recognition that those remote from Quebee don’t quite winderstand what is _ going on there (and that indeed Quek may th ves The survey comments suggest that this measure, and perhaps even, a larger measure, can be forthcoming from’ so-tal- led English Canada, if, properly appealed : for. The question then is this: do . the French Canadians of. Quebec, with their, sense of destiny and their grievance again-: st something, feel underneath as “Cana- dian” in the largest sense as do their com- patriots in the rest of Canada? The survey thus disclosed. a very Canadian kind of nationalism—non-flag ’ waving but very definitely, there. What it does not disclose is the nature and stren- gth of the things that unite Canadians as against those which divide them. Nor did any comments point the way to. any common destiny for “English” and ‘‘Fren- - ch” in one nation. Thus the strong feel- ing Canada must survive was not match- ed by any clear reasons why this must be so or any strategy for achieving the desired result. No one put the Canadian problem in the perspective of the world and of. his- tory: Canada:is not alone in today’s revo- lutionary world in experiencing strains and pressures from people whose expect. - ations for life have risen sharply. The ha- zardous Canadian experiment of..a nation be in the same boat). There was a. gener- al, but not complete, freedom from old stereotypes and historic prejudices. Fin- ally’ there was confustion about just what is happening in and wanted by Quebec today, coupled with an almost universal determination that Canada ® ‘must remain undivided. ‘Ancient prejudicés’ are "shown to be declining—and, when re-aroused .by ex- - tremist .talk or action in Quebec, are re- vealed as not nearly so deep-rooted as ‘they once were. Quebec is also not, at this time, seen as a threat to any specific na- tional goal (such as conscription in the Jast war),—it-is thus likely that so long as this continues, whatever resentment or irritation is felt towards Quebec from time to time will remain largely: unchan- nelled .and ‘so eventually dissipate ‘itself. The ‘survey also revealed ‘a ‘number. of other important factors. There ‘is an. enormous void in ‘knowledge. of Canadian . history as it relates to the historic and continuing position of French Canada. There are the regional preoccupations: of the vigorous’ people who inhabit ‘Western Canada. and -have their eyes set on the future, not the past. There is the .ignor- ance shading ‘into indifference about’ what the .1964 French © Canada is really like, produced princip ded on the partnership of two differ- ent historic peoples. working ‘together to. eredte a successful national ‘home can thus: become both a guarantee ‘of -Cana- Wians’ future and. a. promise for . others in the new nations . who face a. similar problem. Something would. go out of the, wor: ld for many who must for thei own sur- vival believe in the capacity ‘or n man to house different peoples in the ‘same pol- itical mansions, if Canadians after .100. years or more should decide the: distinc- tive Canadian promise for which the ef- forts’ of:the greatest Canadians have. been spent can never be fulfilled... The very. questions contained in the only questions?” For if Canada should fall or fly apart, what is almost certainly the dians have--. ever had.as inane French and. English (to which: have now.’been added: others from many nations) could live to- gether peaceably and constructively with- out losing their separate identities—would - be ‘shattered: - The ‘task for those who believe in Be Canada must then be to assert in prac: -::..: tical: ways -the Canadian promise: against: those who favor retreat into 1 the are @ a1, oh ness of the E » the French, There‘are: some Bs 0. say tat There are’ the feeli of ome favoring ‘‘one Canada”, who tend : to equate the status /of-. the “oldest Canad- ians_and one ‘of the original founding partners of Canada” with that of newly. established ethnic communities. There are the regional preoccupations such’ as” the North with Eskimos and Indians and Brit- ish Col ia with the Jap Seal pointe ‘and St. - dream, ‘Contraty to "popular belief, Can- ada has ‘frequently had better - political leadership. than’ sha'hds, shown she deser- ved—a leadership ‘which it may be given to this generation to fulfill or destroy. Fulfilment can only. come by an enormous exp “of ding on the part . - It. is these historic, iol and geographic factors which will demand: in the future at least as large a measure of the traditional: if lacklustre Canadian vir- _tues. of patience, tolerance and compro- er 5 . of the “two solitudes”. and by increasing experiments in “bi-cultural” living as ra- pidly as possibie to see if we can learn to like it.
