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 the `next, bragging with one breath, 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 I brought me'to this stateof gloom, !but . the flag debate certainly helped.

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' Congo. .
