Another thing to get straight Canada was - voted to be bilingual by every member of our parliament. 1 repeat every member, N.D.P...-- Conservative-; Liberal.. There was, not one dissenting voice,. Vet it ap- pears that most English Canadians think that means th1e Province of Quebec not Canada. How would. -you like to have to buy a car where panel instructions, manual etc. were in French? Yet in Quebec French Canadians are faced With,. English in all these particulars. The recent strike was a perfect example of injustice. It had nothing to do with politics. Air safety was never in question only for those who made it the excuse for -in- tolerance. English is the international language for airports except for a very few such as China where Chinese pilots take over at Shanghai, and for the five small experimental airports there. English Canadian pilots and air controllers were not , being asked .to speak French so what was their complaint? Yet French Canadian pilots, and air ,controllers must by law . speak fluent English. They cannot operate even a private plane in their own native Quebec unless they do. Let me repeat: all French Canadian pilots and air controllers must speak fluent • English even in Quebec. When flying into Madrid what are the languages? English and Spanish. Into Lisbon English jand Pon: tuguese. Into Pares, English and French. Where is the element of danger there? Answer, none. Canada therefore should be English and French. In all fairness to a bilingual country this should be so. It was not a case -of "putting Trudeau in his place" as some would fondly hope nor has there ever been or ever will be a "forced acceptance of French-'-', It is a shameful thing for Canada when a group of air pilots and air controllers can dictate to our parliament the policy it must pursue. We are not now a democracy but a dictatorship. Trudeau should not have given in to them. It was another case of "peace in our time". If you read thilast part of your article I am sure you will realize how inane it is. "The preposterous cost of publications in two languages" (we are bilingual remember?). What do you propose to do for the minorities whose name is legion in nearly all these centres for which you propose one publication? What of Montreal? About 45 percent to 55 percent? Sherbrooke? Paincourt Ontario? And many others. You deny the government common sense.
