Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau is getting soâ€" mewhat bloodyâ€"minded and defiant about his plans to patriate the constitution and rewrite it to his fancy. He‘s recently told everyone from the premiers, backbench MPSs in Britain, the‘ opposition and, indeed, the Canadian public that they can all go take a walk if they don‘t like his determination to bless our country with a Trudeau manifesto.

Further, he has alluded to a begging situation with Britain, which he finds most distasteful and refers to as going ‘‘cap in hand to a foreign country." Obviously then, the PM is intent on not only proceeding with or without the united aspiration of the Canadian people behind him, with or withâ€" out a full and complete understanding of the legaâ€" lity of unilateral action â€" at least, not at this point yet â€" and with or without the due respect the naâ€" tion, as a whole, should accord its mother country, Great Britain. The editorial entitled *‘*‘College crisis needs reâ€" medy"* in your July 2 issue addressed itself to an imporâ€" tant problem but included some expressions of view that are not in agreement with the facts. For instance, you suggest that Ontario‘s premier ‘"‘take a hard look at the funding of our universities." This has certainly hap pened, to the extent that uniâ€" versity funding has steadily decreased over the past eight years, in terms of conâ€" stant dollars. . Preparing for serving society One starts to wonder if this is real nationâ€"buildâ€" ing, unityâ€"forging and the natural evolution of a country, or the obsessive efforts of a man seemâ€" ingly bent on dividing the country on so intrinsic an issue, to violently snap the ties with our past and tradition out of some sense of selfâ€"righteousâ€" ness or greater wisdom.

Surely students should be encouraged to think very carefully about the area of study they want to go into, and why they want to go into it: to qualify for a specific type of job. or to broaden their knowledge. It is then the governâ€" ment‘s role to decide how much support the student should have in his or her quest for knowledge, and in preparation for future serâ€" vice to society. Bob Whitton Associate Director Information Services University of Waterioo Editor‘s note: the question still remains, how many grads find employment in a field directly related to their studies? s (or vice versa, for that matâ€" ter) is not the way to go. . established 1854 In the story, you quote a college official as stating that sudents are being atâ€" tracted to community colâ€" leges because of their great success in finding jobs for graduates. colleges deserve more finâ€" ancing because they have a dramatic increase in enrolâ€" ment while universities are facing a decline. That was in the editorial. The facts are these: the university system, too, is facing a dramatic increase in enrolment applications, a jump of 7.9 per cent this year to the 15 provincial uniâ€" versities. That‘s not a deâ€" cline. At WLU, we now have almost four times as many applicants as we can accept. , And among all adults, uniâ€" versity graduates have the lowest rate of unemployâ€" ment, at 2.5 per cent. It is five per cent for those with diplomas from other postâ€" secondary institutions. I do not mean, in any way, to demean the important role performed by the comâ€" munity colleges. They obâ€" viously are filling an imporâ€" tant role in the Ontario eduâ€" cation scene. But the facts are that NO, WERE NOTREALLY WORRIED ABOU EXTINCTION .

Richard K. Taylor Information Director Wilfrid Laurier University Your usually helpful and comprehensive publication carries a weekly *report‘ from our MP, the once reâ€" verend Walter McLean. It has proven useless to appeal to Waliter, but surely you, as custodians of scarce. and valuable space might inâ€" sist that Walter‘s ‘report‘ from Ottawa tell us someâ€" thing specific about what he has actually done: how he voted and why, how he earned his salary and how he has served us that pay his salary. _ Bromides may please blueâ€"haired ladies. They do not please those that pay Walter‘s bills. D.R. Gordon Iroquois Place . Waterioo «_ French plot For ten years now I have been trying to warn Canaâ€" dians that Prime Minister Trudeau‘s sole reason for being in politics is to turn Canada into a Frenchâ€"conâ€" trolled, and inevitably, a Frenchâ€"speaking country. In my first book ‘"Bilingual Today, French Tomorrow", I described the steps by which our Federal Governâ€" ment Public Service, Armed Forces, RCMP, and some 400 Crown Corporations were being put into French Canadian hands. My efforts were ridiculed by Governmentâ€"initiated propaganda and by others who chose to believe that duplicity could not exist in Canada. > % With the willing help of Stanfield, Clark, Davis, and Hatfield, the job of convertâ€" ing Canada to total French Canadian control is now all but complete. Mr. Trudeau is now ready to impose on us, by decree if necessary, his Frenchâ€"Canada Constituâ€" _ That piece of contrived leâ€" gislation will guarantee French Canadian control of the public services of all nine provinces outside of Quebec, provinces. whose total: Francophone populaâ€" tion is 5% of the whole. That same Constitution will lock French control of our Federal institutions and legislation firmly into place. Hardly a single Canadian at a responsible level has had the courage to object publicly to what is being done to this country. Why then do I object? i I object because I have seen our onceâ€"proud country corrupted and bankrupted by one man in pursuit of his warped and obsessive goal. I object because bilingualism has never worked anywhere and is not intended to work here except as a smokeâ€" screen for the transition of jobs and authority from English to French. Nothing Canadians have ever done or will do will more effect the future of our lives and this country than to consider, discuss, and then act as one on this meaâ€" sure to rid us of Trudeau and his destruction of Canada.
