But while our at- tention h a s been focussed en this fact, an undercur- rent of reac- tion has swel- led up in some segments of English Can- ada. This has been overlooked i n t h e dialogue now going on over the role of our two main cultures in the future of Confederation. 'RAY ARGYLE The Royal Commission on biculturism and bilingualism sets out this week on its long journey of inquiry into the re- lations between the two cul- tures. And the fact must be recog- nized, while we listen to the demands of les Canadiens for a new deal in Confederation, that there always has been much anti - Quebec prejudice within English Canada. Only a Lull • It seemed for a time, dur- ing the comfortable boom years of the 1950s, that French and English-speaking Canada had reached a quiet accord. We now know this was all super- ficial, merely a surface calm, and that 'below, the rip, tides and undertow were waiting to do their work. Out of the social and politi- cal revolution which has raged in Quebec. since the death of Maurice Duplessis has come the most serious challenge yet to Confederation's status quo. English Canada watched this upheaval not without sympathy, but also not with much real understanding. In the wake of the FLQ tragedy and the rise of three distinct separatiste blocs in Quebec, some segments within English Canada have be- gun to get their' backs up. There is Alberta's Premier E. G. Manning reminding Ot- tawa that official recognition of a dual English -French culture in Canada would be "iinrealis- tie and would impair national unity. There is Douglas Fisher, the eloquent NAP parliamen- tarian from Port Arthur, de- claring "We have to take a stand, not as partjsans, but as English Canadians." There is the acclaimed historian, Dr. Frank Underhill, warning French Canada it is time it started trying to understand English Canada. Go out and talk to your neighbors and chances are, you'll find similar sentiments expressed in more pithy terms. This is what Prime Minister Pearson meant when he talked about English "separatists." The danger is that French Canada's aggressive advocacy of its legitimate aspirations is bringing a reaction from some English Canadians that could cripple any real effort to solve our bicultural problems. If a significant segment of English Canada decides to stiff- en its back against the French Fact in Canada, then—despite what royal commissions or governments might do in leg- islating constitutional equality —the fires of separatism will be fanned, for the separatists de- light in every slur from les Anglaise, citing them as fur- ther proof of the hopelessness of Confederation. The problem of building a bicultural and bilingual nation —which Canada is not and nev- r has been despite the preten- ions of the British North Am- rica Act—is enormously corn - lex. But the attempt is going o have to be made. It will first have to hearecog- ized that this is not an issue etween the provinces; it is of a case of Quebec being gr- ayed against the other nine. is a problem involving two ational streams, enjoined by rce originally, by necessity to - ay, into one mainstream, but ith the French Canadian now silting on political, economic d cultural equality and iden- ty everywhere within the oad river of the Canadian onfederation. The fact is that English Can- a must understand French nada, and hope that French nada will understand us. e s e p n b n r It n fa d w in an ti br C ad Ca Ca NEWS OF WEEK IN ZION Mr. and Mrs. Ken Burchill arrived home from their honey- moon trip and are spending a few days with his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Jack Burchill.
