Will pave way

By Paul Koring

NEW YORK (CP) — Since the overwhelming federalist victory in Quebec's sover- eignty-association _referen- dum last year, the threat of Quebec leaving confederation has ceased to be a hot topic in Canada.

But one American political scientist predicts that in- creasing economic links be- tween Quebec and the United States will soon allay Queb- ecers’ fears of economic dis- aster should the province separate from Canada.

Alfred Hero, director of the World Peace Foundation in Boston and a long-time student of Quebec, says Prime Minister Trudeau's fo- cus on further centralization of power in Canada and a reduced economic depend- ence by Quebec on the Cana- dian market will pave the way for separation.

In a paper delivered this week to the annual meeting of the American Political Science Association, Hero warned that Quebec separa- tism is still alive.

said.

The continued refusal of the federal government to “come to terms constitu- tionally and politically” with Quebec “will thus result in a growing confronation and eventually a probably break, with or without, economic association with the rest of Canada.”

Hero paints an unhappy picture of Canada's future. Not only does he contend that Trudeau’s centralist pol- icies and Quebec's increas- ingly strong economic ties with the northeastern United States will rejuvenate. sep- aratism, but he also ack- nowledges Trudeau's claim

for separation

But Hero also betrayed a rather simplistic view of what can be expected after Trudeau leaves the political arena.

“An eventual anglophone Liberal prime minister who replaces Trudeau might be considerably more flexible in compromising, particularly with Quebe,c but also with the anglophoneprovinces pressing for more autono-

my.’ Apparently, for Hero, the Liberal Party's ion as

the prospect of either a broken confederation or one where the provinces are far more powerful is becoming inviting.

Although the official U.S. stance has always been op- posed to the break-up of Canada, there are those who believe a fragmented neigh- bor would be easier to dom- inate than a strong one.

Whether Hero's gloomy. analysis should be accorded extra weight because he is

that P: ises with Quebec's autono- mist demands will lead to an ungovernable Canada.” Trudeau “may be correct,” says Hero, in which case “Canada is doomed to Bal- kanization in any event.” He goes a step further and predicts the ‘continuation of current ‘Trudeau policies (will) lead to constitutional crisis involving not only Que- bec, but also Alberta, British Columbia, Sa hewa:

“If Quebec over the next half decade in im- proving the health of its economy ... (and) phasing out its high-cost, labor-inten- sive soft goods industries so highly dependent on pro- tected Ontario and other Canadian markets, Quebec- ers’ concerns about the econ- omic risks of ‘going it alone’ will decline significantly,” he

and eventually Newfound- land and the Maritimes as well.”

Only Ontario is left out.

This grim scenario in the eyes of an American political scientist has already had an airing. Only Ontario and New Brunswick have supported Trudeau's constitutional blueprint.

‘Magic mushroom

COURTENAY (CP) — Magic mushroom season has arrived again in the Comox Valley on Vancouver Island and police are using new. provincial legislation to combat pickers trespassing on farmland.

Under new provisions of the Trespass Act, police can arrest without warrant, and the onus is on the person found on the land to show he has the —landowner's permission to be there.

The whales are the largest animals to ever inhabit the earth. Known since the time of Aristotle to breathe air and suckle.their young, they are the eveolutionary solution to the ‘problem of adapting a land mammal to an oceanic environment.

Two groups of C

The ‘arrests were’ made Thursday night at a house in this community near the U.S.-Canada border.

The upstairs and basement were “crammed with equip- ment and chemicals and cul- tures’ of all sorts,” Mangan said, adding the main floor was “tastefully decorated” and used as living quarters.

The operation.was “an ex- tensive and sophisticated fac- tory for the cultivation, pro- cessing, drying and shipping of psilocybin mushrooms,” he
