Quebec and The Future of Canada

D. J. Dooley

BY THE TIME of the federal election in April, 1963, most thinking Canadians were probably aware that the unity of their nation was in peril. ¹  The main issues before the electorate were the instability of the Progressive Conservative government, Canada’s persistent economic problems, and her role in the defense of North America.  But many commentators thought that the major question which the new government would face was the failure of Canada’s two races ² to reach a satisfactory modus vivendi. ³

The French minority felt that neither the letter nor the spirit of the British North America Act of 1867 had been observed; ⁴ instead of being treated as equal partners in Confederation, they believed themselves to be second-class citizens in the land of their birth.  Of the many grievances suffered by the French minority, several were well known:  most senior civil-service positions were held by the English; until recently the rules of procedure in the Federal Parliament had been available only in English; and French Canadians living outside the Province of Quebec had inadequate

³  There is no “failure”; quite the contrary, Canada is a big success; the entire events of November-December 1962, and those leading to them, are a Communist operation to demoralize the populace and spread social discord in order to give themselves an excuse to destroy the national constitution.
⁴  Dooley obviously doesn’t know what the British North America Act is; he’s parroting headlines spawned by the Communist-controlled press; if he knew what the Constitution really is, and how successful it really had been, he wouldn’t make such a blindly foolish statement.  Which goes to underscore the serious problem in Canada (and perhaps elsewhere) that history and law are not taught together, since law results from history, history gives rise to law; but the “historians” instead of knowing the law, rely on third-party headlines which they assume represent facts, which in many, if not most cases, they do not.  Thus, the “historians” become the useful puppets of the manipulators, conveying non-investigated propaganda under the banner of history.
