It might reijaye some of the pas and venom that seem to be filling Canadians these days, and get them back to the Inver- (ant things of life, like making money, love and rock gardens. Symptorna of the national ul- cer are everywhere: the fero- city pf the Canadian flag argu- ment; the lurking threat of Violence in Quebec; the growing defiance of police by youth gangs; the increase in homicidal tactics on our highways. Perhaps a little bloodaletting would purge our native land of this tendency to quibble and squabble about everything from the national anthem to the water level in the Great Lakes. There's also the matter of international prestige. All the big boys—England, France, Russia, the U.S., Chinw—have been through an all-out civil war, and gone on to greater things. In each case the country was so whacked out by the end of the war that everybody stop- ped bickering and complaining, and got down to the job of becoming a Great Nation. How can we hope to gain respect of the world if we never go through a testing time of seething hatred, unmentionable cruelties, gallant guerrillas, and all the other ingredients of a good civil war? We should be ashamed of our- selves, Mumbling and grum- bling about the CBC and the NDP and the Red Ensign and 0 Canada and what's for supper, when we could be stringing up cabinet ministers, dynamiting the Soo locks, and sacking the O'Keefe Centre. The Irish had a rebellion nearly 50 years ago. It lasted a few days but they've written countless books about it, and every Irishman over the age of 20 swears he was in it, though he'll admit he was only a broth of a boy at the time, Think of the stories we'd have to hand down to our an- cestors.
