Some of us in the rest of Canada regard the Quebecois as brash, arrogant upstarts, â€"__ pointing a gun at our heads with the demand: ‘"Give us what we want â€" or else". That picture of Quebec doesn‘t come through in Butler‘s book. However, he does point out that the old order of domination by Englishâ€"speaking poliâ€" tians and business leaders and the rural, peasant way of life (directed largely by the Church and the restrictive school system) are rapidly passing. Queâ€" becers are demanding more power for themselves, "a bigger slice of the pie‘‘ as individuals and as a province. The big choice now is whether it will be inside of, or outside of, Confederation. Before a wise choice can be made (by all Canadians, not just Quebecers, since Canada‘s whole wellâ€"beâ€" ing is at stake) I suggest that, as free, responsible citizens of a democratic country, we must learn: to treat one another as equals; to attempt accommoâ€" dation and compromise by reasonable and just changes in the Constitution of Canada; take a long, hard look not only at the differences and the grievâ€" ances that divide us, but also at the benefits â€" past, present and. future â€" which derive from Canada beâ€" ing one nation from the Atlantic to the Pacific. ies 4n are no simple solutions but I contend that the best approach .ls by ope As we discuss the main issues and pergonalities, a word of caution is in order: it is neither possible, nor desirable, for Canada‘s sixty or so ethnic groups, or even the English and Frenchâ€"speaking groups, to be merged into one. Our first principle from the beginâ€" ning of Confederation is an act of faith that geograâ€" ferences should,; and can, be drawn together,. Canaâ€" dians have met great challenges with courage and resourcefuilness before this; they can do the same now and in the future. . Growing nationalism is most dramatically shown in the "emerging nations‘‘ of Asia and Africa, but that force has erupted also in Beligium, France, Spain and Canada as well. This is especially true in Quebec where the Separatists blame English domineering colonialism for most of their troubles. Their only solution is independence. Gerard Pelleâ€" tier, a very able journalist and member of Parliaâ€" ment, should be heeded by both the English and the French when he says: ‘"Federalism.exists in Canaâ€" da. Quebec still enjoys more freedom and a greater measure of political independence than any other colonial country one can think of"". Officially, we have two sovereign languages, two major cultures, one system of criminal law, countless personal and family ties and two centuries of living alongside (and sometimes with !) one another in comparative peace and harmony. Nevertheless, practical and emotional differences are putting a great strain on Canadian unity today. One of the more reasonable and enlightened books on the subject is ‘Quebec: the People Speak‘ by Rick Butler (published byâ€"Doubleday). It comes from a survey of a wide variety of people in Quebec. each others‘ traditions and aspirations, loyalty to the common good for Canada and readiness to coâ€"operâ€" wlers 4 up ber * THE TREASURE TR OVE Graduation Gifts 16 Union St. E.
