SUGAR

By: Bill Smiley
Canada, Act -Your . Age!
Thereis one country in the world
that . I feel sorry for, It' has all the
outward attributes of a spoiled -
rotten
It . •
teenager. looking, if :' a little
gangly. Itis strong and well..
made if a little inclined to flab-
biness. It has alwayshad a big'
allowance• because its mother and
father came into a lot of prop-
erty.
rop. -erty..
But all the signs . of the mixed-
up' adolescent are there: the sud:
Aden. flaring resentment over
nothing; the great desire to be
loved . and made a fuss over;. the
surliness when . things don't go
right;, the; sullen apathy . towards.
anything worthwhile;_ the absor-
ption in ' material things; the
flashes of decency; and the im-
pulses towards vandalism.
It must be. ' dreadful to ,see a
child you love, one who : has
.brought sun and laughter ' as an
infant pride', and joy through , the
growing years,, turn into• .one of
these creatures:
It is equally. sad to see a country
one loves turn '.into a+ schizophrenic,
whining . with self-pity one mo-
ment, swaggering with • threats

complaining/ • with' another I'm
•
talking about. Canada.
There is something sick in our
country .today, and I feel for it the
same baffled soorow that I feel
for the teenager who has a good
mind, with nothing more on it
than bashing around in a big car
and smashing things up; who, has
a fine body, •,with nothing more to
do ,than let it go to pot:
• I • don't know ` quite what" has

!but . the flag debate certainly

goodness! If, newspaper ;readers
in other' nations could peruse some
of the juvenilia that has passed as
debate in our House ' of Commons
on the ' flag ` issue, they would
shake their: heads' in bewilder-
ment, ' and write us off as :a nation
about 'one jump.. ahead. of • 'the'

from a • dunghill:: But I. do care
that my country shows one of
the signs of strength, maturity
and wisdom that might be ex-
pectedAnother thing. that has pro-
duced
from an adult democracy.
.. my . present mood is the
threat to the: life of the Queen, if
she has enough gumption to visit.
Canada, on invitation. Which she
has. Would that the shrivelled.

much

atics ofd desperate . paucity of
soul would ' want to harm this
rather plain,rather sweet, 'quite
dignified and extremely cour-
ageous woman who does .her 'earn-
est best in an extremely, difficult,
role? • . •
The answer. is, only those who
have .adopted the philosophy of
the communist and . the ,fascist•
that the end justifies the means:
The Queenhas nothing to do with
imperialism or colonialism or any
of : the ' other "isms" that Quebec
is belatedly excited about, ' after
sitting complacent under a dic-
tator, and 'a corrupt one, for .years.
•.I hereby anounce that if any-
body/takes a ' potshot at the Queen
when she visits Quebec, I.' •will
•personally call up a : crowd : of
creaky, 01 d fighter pilots and
march on that province. I doubt
if we'd have a banner, because.
if you told an old fightre pilot `to
follow a flag into action he'd'. tell
you promptly what you could do,.
with your flag, And it would be 1
painful. ' ' :
Perhaps I'm wrong.. Perhaps
the mixed-up teenager will, as so
many have done, grow up, stop
tearing . things down, and turn into
a rank , old reactionary like me. I
hope . so. '
