WANTED Continued from page 5 forcing businesses to do their work in French or forcing everyone not born in Quebec to be educated only in French in provincial schools. For many people like Newfound­ land’s Clyde Wells, opposition to the distinct Society clause is a matter of civil rights, that the government’s attempts to protect the Quebec language and culture shouldn’t allow it to override the fundamental rights of all Quebec­ ers. From what I can gather from this side of the language w*all, Quebec journalists have become active participants in the nationalist movement there rather than obser­ vers. They don’t seem to question the validity of any of the wishes of the Quebec government. If a journalist from Montreal were in some southern U.S. state like New Mexico, for instance, where Mexi­ can immigration threatens to change the makeup of the local community, how would they report the news if the state government tried to impose use of English in all businesses and schools and banned use of Spanish on outdoor store signs? I suspect they’d be horrified at this breach of the civil rights for the Spanish speaking people. If those same Mexicans moved to Quebec, they’d see nothing wrong with taking away their rights. If there is any self-doubt in Quebec, any questioning of the overruling of civil rights, it’s not being reported to us across the border. If there isn’t any question­ ing, I worry about the future of Quebec even if it gets the indepen­ dence so many feel will be the answer to all its problems. With six million versus 300 million English- speaking people in North America, the pressure will still Quebec language and human rights aren’t be on the culture. If allowed to get in the way of language and culture be the next step as desperation increases? Already there has been a proposal that any language but French be forbidden in hallways and school yards of French-langu­ age schools because some students are reverting to their native tongue when not in class. Our newspapers and television are failing us in not getting into the stories behind the stories. They’re playing with cliches and simple explanations instead of asking the hard questions. They are just as much to blame for the wreck of a country we now have as the politicians. protecting what might Plenty of winners WANTED TO RENT: QUIET couple looking to rent apartment or house in Brussels area.
