Yep,' aecordling to the ' gi'<'otam-
pots, this may ibe our . last • op-
portunity to celebrate with our
Customary fervour that glorious
national, holiday 'revered by. all
Canadians: The : First of . Ju.1y.
Such eminent • +hysterians as
Pierre 'Berton are • sounding the

and making like • Cassandra,

,it' i;; ;rather of paradox that the
groans of languish emerge; . for
the' Most.* from • the ' very
people who devote a: great 'deal
of time, • and a :vast number of
Wards, ' towards convincing" eV'-;
eryb'ody., that Canada is • already
little more than! a :.banana
public. •
• They are the people who have
unselfishly volunteered tta act .as
the ' cobsolence of.. this ;; country.
They: are the people : wh'oblat
endlesslythat we. are: the people:
'who.; : hang, ' with •embarrassing
obsequiousness, on .the` ;every.'
word. •''of every •foreiginer• who
speaks ofthis country, its habits
and its htople: •
They are,, people who, via *Daw-

cities and set, �themserves up as

Armed': with incredible gall . and
a facility with words; they are

Culture: • '
A''.Iplague upon ,them all.. In
• the 'face of their insults, and in-•

There are a .number ••of good
Treasons for my': opinions: They
Bill Smiley,
are. not just ..a lot of off-the-
cuff ideas based, ' on a pile.: : of.
statistical ,evidence. Nossir, they
have a solid base of Pure emo-
tion and ;prejudice.
First of all, • our politicians,
While comparatively green com-
Pared to those of older nations,
areinternationally recognizedas
masters' of the comproanise. Can-
ada, 'as a nation,: (has.. a• reputa-
tion for (horse-jradling . She is.
not one to let ,.any ' foolish 'ideals
stand in the way of 'an honest
buds: And :this, i •fear, will .pre-•.
sent the greatest Obstacle to the;
secessionists ' or. Quebec.
'Second,' our. French -palladia'',
friends,' bomb -planting to: the
contrary, simply . are. not . wild
eyed :Latins,• , forever cherishing
cobblestones to: ; hurl ' 'at author=
ity. They;•'are a little more vola-
tile than our . British elements,
perhaps, .but don't forget that
they're descended ` from,.. the
shrewd, tough; • logical; phleg-
uratic folk of .northern • France,
for the most part.. They are. prac-
tically stoics compared to some
of title • exotic strains ' in our '.pop-
•ulation The: Irish,. 'for example:.
Third, they _already 'have as
much independence` as' `they can
possibly' use. Don't tell ane that
a: fellow: in Riviere, du : Loup, for
example,, has any less:freedom'
.that I: have.:'Especially if 'he's
married. And I'll never . forget
a Candienne I took .out in Moo:
treat- • one night. Boy, was lie
;iaidependent!
Fourth, the .people Of. Quebec,
should they pull.' out of con -
'federation, :would :have` to ;give`
up.' one of their primary pleas
ores'' in 'life blaming everything
from .the last two wars to the
'Ow pensions On the sacred- Ang-
lais. .
As for. my other • opinion,
that the twentietih . century be:
longs • to' • Canada," .:this , too
based on la- ,bedrock of hope,
not a • , lot ' . of silly facts ',and
figures. The• ' main . reason for
my hope::is•. ,that the 'tlwentietht
century ., is :becoming` snore .and.
more expensive. Pretty soon,
nobody Will went it, at 'any
price. But Canadians will buy
anything, if , the down payment
is low enough: •
