By RAY ARGYLE

The past week brought
new signs of deepening
mistrust between English
and French-speaking Can-
ada, There was one bright,
‘spot, however, and that
was the CBC's third bilin-
gual television production,
“A Show From Two Cities.”

The program was impor:
tant because it provided
more than fine entertain-

ment. It

will than all
the pious
pronounce-
x ments of
Ray Argyle well-mean-
ing politicians heard in the
past year,

But it was a lone bright
spot in a week of distress,

And as is always the
case, neither side was with-
out fault.

In one of the most stupid
and ill-conceived declara-
tions ever to emerge from
Quebec, the powerful St,
Jean Baptiste Soclety {rep-
‘Fesenting 250,000 French
Canadians), ‘called for a
campaign to make Montreal
a unilingual city — a solely
French speaking communi-

‘That there is absolutely
no chance of any such divi-
sive campaign succeeding,
is beside the point,

At a time when French-
speaking Canadians are
struggling to win wider
recognition for their lan-
guage and culture, efforts
of this nature will have
just the opposite result.

h-speaking Cana-
diang will not tolerate any
Joss of their rights in Que-
bec, And challenges such
as the one issued by the
St. Jean Baptiste Society
will only stiffen the resolve
of some English Canadians
to resist effort by
French Canada to work out

- new concepts for the future

of the Canadian Confedera-'
tion.

* But French Canada has
uo monopoly on stupidity.

There is a rising tide of
anti-French feeling .across
Canada, especially in the
west,

This is due in part to
-western remoteness from
Quebec. The geographical
gap between the regions is
immense, and great also is
the gap in understanding
between Quebec and the
west,

While traveling in B.C.
last. week, 1 encountered
many examples of the mis-
trust. and fear which has
fastened on the people of
this province toward
French Canada.

There are two great ob-
stacles now facing Canada
in what is becoming
nothing less than a strug-

Hugh «is going to My eon
a piano recital in a couple
of weeks at the Conserva-

nouncement has created a
flurry of excitement, alarm
and despondency that will
likely be unequalled until
the day my daughter de-
clares that she is‘ going to
be married.

Needless to say, the one

No, it’s his mother who
is panicking. First of all,
she demands to know, : in

ridiculous; how he hopes
to have his pieces ready in

says flatly. She hadn't
