Canada spoke to over 200 women atten ding the 45th annual Simcoe area Womens Institute conven tion in Alliston hiesday Peg Halloway who says sav ing Canada from breaking up is the responsibility of you and me and not the government has been guest on the Betty Kennedy Show Fro Page Challenge and Radio well as making hundreds of public appearances to speak to vanous youps Since the election of Rene Levesque as premier of the pro vince of Quebec Mrs Halloway has launched personal cam paign to keep Canada together We all stand chance of los ing our count over lot of lit tle things that is mainly because we dont really under stand our country she said One of our problems is that Wate te cynicism overflow ed our rs and now we have little faith in our government The Lnited States has had the opportunity of recuperating from this because of their bi centennial when nationalism was highlighted She said groups such as the Womens Institutes who have such strong voice are afraid of being nonpartisan Dont Wm about how your remarks 50 just stand up and be counted SPECIAL TEAS Mrs Halloway said Con federation teas have been started across the country and suggested the members of the Simcoe WI have them also Lets use these teas to get together and talk about Canada and Confederation and when we are done talking lets go and talk to others she said The mother of two sons who are both in university said Canada is made up of four parts The large part of the population and the bench Canadian who came to Canada in the very early days Quebec City started in is the oldest continually inhabited ci ty in North America The third grou is the British who came to nada in 175 when were were alleady 16w0French lehere The fou group is the multicultural groups who came in wave after wave from variom countries country called Canada was formed in 167 between the hench and the British for the benefit of both parties Mrs Halloway said It was just as important to be financially credit worthy then as it today The were trying to finance coastto coast railway in those days MANY FACTS There are man facts about Confeduation Quebec that many people dont know the speaker said For one thing it took great deal of persuasion to get Quebec to join the rest of Canada and they did so on the promise that French heritage and language would be preserv ed Quebec is the largest pro vince in Canada with 600000 square miles in its borders It controls most of the St Lawrence Seaway onethird of Canadas electrical power has population of over six million people 27 per cent of Canadas population and contributes 245 cent of the gross na tiona product Mrs Halloway noted Almost 82 people in Qtie cent of the are French and can trace their ancestors hack mum Nov 15 today is the first an niversary of the election of the Parti Quobccols Its the first time any group has been in position to dmtmy our country Had we onLy had another five years we might have been able to bring this country back to the type of country our fordathers dreamed of You people here today have very much in common with similar groups in Quebec sit ting around in churches such as this toasti the Queen They are just as oyal to her as you are but there are people who feel Quebec mist separate to recognize themselves Mrs Halloway said Dialogue about Canada is important to keep our country together We are one of the few countries in the world which knows so little about our con stitution Mrs Halloway wife of consu ting en neer said unemployment in ebec islSpercenthigherthanthe rest of Canada Independence wont change this it is time which is needed she said History has shown that no nation has survivied when 50 per cent of the economic whole isgone Our federation would not stay together if Quebec left because Ontario would have too stron voice Each province woul become too involved with its own affairs to worry about thewhole country If you take Quebec away and break that ribbon we who is the would very eguickly be annexed by the Unit Stalin she said QUESTIONS In question and answer riod which followed her talk rs Halloway discussed several books and authors on the subject of separatism and bilin allsm aude Morans intentions are far more scary than anything Rene Levesque has come up with yet He has totally closed mind and in his book Quebec Versus Ottawa he sounds totally paranoid she said Another book Bilingual TodayFrench Tomorrow by Andrews was termed Mrs Holloway as one which should be thrown in the gar bage The author has taken group of situations and chosen certain facts to support his statements You can support any thesis if you choose your facts carefull enough If you wis to read it do so but then throw it in the garbage and dont pass it on to anyone she said She was asked about resolu tion being circulated for sup port to vote down an 30 raise to bilingual civil servants It is bonus to encourage more anglophones to speak French In many countries peo ple are encouraged to speak several languages she said GOOD IDEA When asked how she felt about the campaign of Bob Bentley of Barrie to raise 10000 signatures to take to Ottawa in an attempt to have Rene Le vesque deseated Mrs Halloway said she thought it was good idea Its good idea but dont know if presenting an adverse situation to the Quebec govern ment is going to affect anything Mrs Halloway
