THE HERALD Wednesday July is 10- Page Life after Meech suggestions are pouring in A couple of weeks ago I wrote here about our countrys ongoing constitutional conflict Since then we had a couple of public meetings on Life after Meech which turn ed out to be emotional and yet thoughtful events There were certainly people who came because they were angry Angry at Quebec the feds the prime minister or politi cians in general Some feel this whole problem didnt need to hap pen while others think the mood of Quebec is such that it was in evitable I dont pretend to have the answers But I am spending a lot of time listening At the meetings I gave out pages of paper asking for peoples thoughts on Canada And I mentioned in this column that those pages will go Into a Canada Book which will travel back to Ot tawa with me Also in the book will be any letters or statements people here have on the subject of our country Well every day more of them ar at my office each one another piece of evidence that regular peo ple from all walks of life care very much about Canada Here samples from the growing pile I feel sorry for since he has the Parti to deal with Nurse writes from Georgetown But can we allow the PQ to upset the whole country If they gain power in the next pro vincial election there is a possibili ty the province will separate could not have prevented that I do not want my country but there comes a limit to the concessions which can be made to one sector when they turn refuse to make any Right now says Dorothy James from Glen Williams peo ple on both sides are hurt and angry Its like two sisters fighting with each other both saying things to hurt each other But I have the feeling that if some other party were to attack either side we would join together just tike feuding families do If Quebec separates from the rest of Canada adds Bill Bracken from outside Alton they should be made to take their share of the deficit They should not receive any more financial assistance from the federal government Quebecs separation should be looked upon as a bird leaving the nest youre on your own now wing it the best way you can I personally dont want to see Quebec separate but I also feel quite adamant about what I have just written From Burlington Graham Gilmour tells me we need sible politicians who can remember a Canada they were proud to belong to By all means welcome all legal immigrants without criminal records to share our land provided they accept Canada as an English speaking country with traditions and a culture that is sacrosanct Can you remember how good it felt to stand at attention and sing our national anthem Can you say today that it still stirs your heart strings or are you like so many us who feel that it is no longer our country and we no longer even care Can we not agree asks A Combe of Acton to respect each others language and culture without bringing politics into if I agree that French and English are the founding languages So be it Let us practice the language of our choice without government in terventlon It Is my belief that Canada did not reject french Canada They rejected legislation denying it the freedom of choice Do away with the words multicultural ism bilinguahsm and promote its place Cana Mildred Sharpe of Bolton says Quebec has always wanted separation and always will no matter how much we give them it will never be enough There is a large number of MPs in Ottawa now who said if Lake didnt pass they would reconsider their positions but now say they will stay to best serve Quebec I hope they are also serving the rest of the country fairly Albert Dewdney of Glen Williams says It would seem that the only longterm solution is to give the French their head as a parent might in desperation give way to an adolescent child unless and until reason and intelligence should prevail His wife Margaret adds In at tempting to assess the future of our Canadian society three points are mandatory We must evaluate we must tolerate and we must ap preciate what this country means to us And this from Ken of Georgetown We can only be saved only by a generosity of heart What do you think Do we negotiate with Quebec to keep Canada whole How do we respond to the next set of demands which will surely make Meech look mild Do we risk breaking this country up or has English Canada been pushed around too much Do we understand each other What kind of Canada should come out of this Please write your thoughts for the Canada Book and for me The address Garth Turner MP 27 Main St S Georgetown
