Lang bodi the Canada Flag and Quebec Flag becarne emersed in thc problem of-tbe-day with separation. The audience broke out with mucb applause wben the Canada Flag cmerged with a circle of blue in the middle. One had to feel a sense of pride in Canada with thc above twe acts but then there was Bud thc Spud by Stempin' Tom Connors and Farewell te Nova Scella by Catbsine McKinnon. 1 should have taken notes on the take-off on our Prime Minister.
