Most of the casualties would be in the Legion halls, each night after the "fighting" was over. And speaking of the Legion halls, a civil war would certainly add a little spice to the rather dreary dialogue that is the norm. Instead of monotonous mutterings about the last bingo game or the next shuffleboard tournament, you'd hear stuff like this: "Ja hear what Quebec Cora said on the TV tonight?" "Ya. She said the frogs cap- tured a whole battalion of the Canadian Army today an there wuzzen a man in it below the rank of sergeant. Eighty-five colonels, 150 majors an so on." "Right. And 50 per cent of the officers was French-Canadian." "It figures. But she's a good lookin broad, right?" If it does come to civil war, you can include me out, And that goes for all my old friends, in- cluding a few Germans who fought on the other side in WW II and are now happy Canadians. But that doesn't mean we wouldn't make our contribution, our sacrifices, if needs must. My contribution would be to over-all strategy, which has always been my strong point. You should see me plotting to get someone else to mow my lawn, put on my storm windows, shovel my walk. Hereby some suggestions. First, if the feds want a short, swift victory. Muster every air- craft in the country, load them with every scrap of paper in Ot- tawa, man them with civil ser- vants under the command of Otto Lang, and bomb. Not only the separatists, but the entire province of Quebec, would be obliterated for a generation. An alternative to this would be to build a fence right around the province, constructed of all the red tape in Ottawa. It would take the Quebecois 10 years to. cut their way out, and they'd have forgotten referendums and such. If these methods of an easy solution are not dramatic enough for you, here's my final offer. Muster all the politicians, lawyers and Women's Libbers in the rest of Canada. Fly them to a remote section of Newfoundland. Muster all the politicians, lawyers and Anglophobes in Quebec, Fly them to the same place. No conventional weapons for either side. Then let them beat each other to death with unveiled innuen- does, deliberate misinformation, absolute ambiguities, legal torts, trial balloons, and shrill cries of "French male chauvinist pigs," and "Maudites Anglais abor- tionistes." It would be lovely and peaceful in the rest of the country. And the bleeding, battered winners could have Newfy, where the locals would hunt them down for sport, as they did the Beothuk In- dians.
