THIS WEEK AND NEXT
CAN CANADA SURVIVE?
By RAY ARGYLE
'there is now serious doub
whether there is any longer an
real justification for Canada'
existence as
nation.
The sores al
ready laid bare
by the Royal
Commission on
B i 1 i ngualism
and Bicultur-
ism, if allow-
ed to fester
a n,y further
could pollute
Canada's body
R. Argyle politic beyond
hope of re-
t
Y
s
a
eovery.
In the submissions made so
far to the Dunton-Laurendeau
commission, not a single brief
has faced up to the essential
problem that this country must
ultimately face - national sur-
vival.
Quebec's St. Jean Baptiste So-
ciety, for example, threatened
to boycott the commission if it
dealt with the broad question
of relations between all of Can-
ada's ethnic groups. Keep the
inquiry to the single issue of
French -English relations, the
society warned:
Minority ethnic groups, rang-
ing from native Indian to Jew-
ish and Ukrainian, rpse to warn
they would claim their rights in
a multi -cultural society. The
phrase "two founding nations"
brought special ire from these
blocs.
Nowhere was there a voice
calling for the strengthening of
Canada as a national entity -
except on terms designed to
promote each ethnic group's
own interests.
Eight million of Canada's peo-
ple are of British origin. Six
million have French origins,
while the other five million
have origins neither British nor
French.
French Canadians can be for-
given, to an extent, for their
insistence on a new deal in this
country because it is obvious
that English Canada has his-
torically short-changed its part-
ner in Confederation.
It must be realized that Can-
ada came into being as a re-
sult of a solemn pact between
English and French-speaking
elements that both cultures and
languages would have equality
in the nation.
This did not mean that ev-
ery individual Canadian would
be bilingual. It meant, instead,
that every Canadian would have
the opportunity to achieve a full
life in either of the two cul.
tures.
This has simply not worked
out for the French-Canadian.
Partly due to the backwardness
of his own society (as most
French-Canadians now 'realize)
but also due to the , resistence
of English Canada, the French
half of the nation has been
subjugated by the other.
Now that Canada's French
community has broken out of
its barrier of silence, the coun-
try's minority ethnic groups
have been led to question the
sanctity of the English -French
relationship.
Motivated perhaps by fear of
being overwhelmed in a two -
culture society, they seem to
be saying: "If the French can
demand equality, then we
should, too,"
Why mince pies for Christ
mas? In the Middle Ages, one
of the Yuletide dishes was a
pie made of sweet meat and
rich spices, and it was baked
in a shape to represent the
cradle -manger in which the
Baby Jesus lay.- It was Eng.
land's Queen Elizabeth 1 who
popularized the dish.
The turkey was not always
the traditional Christmas bird.
For centuries the superb bird
of the Christmas table was the
peacock and hours were spent
ih its preparation. The skin
was carefully removed with
feathers undisturbed. After the
bird had been roasted and al-
lowed to cool down, its beak
was painted with gold and the
feathered skin very carefully
sewn into place,.
What the ethnic groups over-
look is that French and English
have these special rights only
because of their partnership in
the founding of Canada.
When they grasp this, the
ethnic minorities will then re-
alize that French Canada is ac-
tually fighting their battle, too
-a battle for equal treatment
for all, regardless of national
background.
In the United, which is basic-
ally a one -culture society, all
immigrant groups have merged
through the melting pot pro-
cess into an American society.
This is a historical process
which is unique in the world.
Canada has resisted the melt-
ing pot process. Faced with the
inescapable fact of a . two -cul-
ture origin, the melting pot is
obviously not acceptable here.
Whatever other formula is to
be worked out, however, will
have to recognize that national
survival must come first. With-
out this, the country will not
survive and wi111 indeed have
no right to survive.
