Fight annexationists Cont'd from pg- 5 The Conservatives were swept to power in 1958 with the largest majority in his- tory because the majority of the people believed Diefen- baker’s promises to end the Liberal policies of national betrayal. The Conservatives’ ’ failure to bring in independent na- tional policies, and the econo- mic consequences of that failure, have produced the present political crisis.

The spirit of Confederation has never been lost by the Canadian people — only by their ruling class as repre- sented by Liberals, Conserva- tives and Socreds. The new struggle to pre- serve Confederation is essen- tially to give content to the centennial celebrations by compelling governments to adopt policies in the true na- tional interest — or defeat them utterly as the annexa- tionists were routed in 1871.

The nature of these grievances is illustrated in the recent estimate that less than 10 percent of the Que- bec economy is owned or con- trolled by French Canadians. The basic problem, often argued around the topics of Janguage and culture, goes much deeper. It is that Ca- nada’s government does not recognize that this country is a two-nation state. “French Canada is in a mood to throw off every ex- pression of national humilia- tion,’ wrote Sam Walsh, Que- bec organizer of the Com- munist Party, in a _ recent article. “The conviction has grown that the present British North America Act does not only not guarantee equal rights to the two na- tions of Canada, but on the contrary, perpetuates and petrifies outright discrimina- tion against the French Cana- dian nation.” The Tory administration at Ottawa marches blindly on, . flirting with the idea of print- ing bilingual cheques and “sympathizing” with the na- tional sentiments of French Canadians. The Liberals, in the words of Lester Pearson in a Toron- to speech in 1961, are con- vineed that the Separatists “won’t break up our national unity. It would be-a ridicu- lous tragedy for our country to be broken up at a time when we’re talking about in- ternational unity and world government.” The meaning behind ”in- ternational unity and world government” can _ be quite easily gauged by the Liberal’s -OVALTINE CAFE 251 EAST HASTINGS Vancouver, B.C.

How could a group that was betraying the interests of its own nation offer any salvation to the French-Canadian nation? While few of those who struggie for full equality for French Canada are separat- ists, the sentiment for a new deal within Confederation is strong. Both the Quebec Federa- tion of Labor and the Mont- real labor council have urged “a new ard workable concept of federalism.’ In a resolu- tion in 1961, the QFL, “re- cognizing the legitimacy of the griefs of French Canada, promises to continue to fight with all iis might for their redressment, without having recourse to a Separatist solu- tion.” The Confederation of Na- tional Trade Unions has also rejected the Separatist solu- tion and asked for a new deal within Confederation. Leslie Morris, national leader of the Communist Party, in a speech before the June 18 election, put the ques- tion this way: “One of the central issues of this election is the preser- vation of Confederation, the survival of Canada as a state of English - speaking and French Canadians. This is possible only through a new constitution which is founded on the national equality of both Canadian nations, Eng- lish and French, and the right of. secession. If this is not done in the next few years, there is a possibility that Confederation will not sur- vive.” * org. * When the U.S. News and World Report suggested we might completely lose control , PENDER LUGGAGE’ 541 West Pender St..
