Ltd. - Port Perry, Ont. Editorial Comment The Canada question Another Canada Day is upon us, and, as in SO many years past, the country seems to be wending its way feebly toward crisis. The separatiste forces of Quebec will once more this year overshadow the celebration of Canada's birthday, and lurking in the back of our minds -- even as we salute our flag and hoist a toast to our Home and Native Land -- will be the ever-present sense of second- guessing ourselves. It is bewildering to most Canadians that the Quebecois seem to want to opt out of one of the world's great federations. It has been frustrating and angering to watch in past years as the Rest of Canada bowed and scraped its i J) A KS way through constitutional talks, only to be NEI = LR OE AN rebuffed and told by one Quebec Premier after . = Samira x another that it simply wasn't enough.

He has failed to take into account the rest of us, many of whom have been moderates on the Quebec question over the years. He has failed to tell his people that his deal as it stands will not be acceptable to us. He may lose the referendum battle, but surely the struggle will be lost when it comes to sovereignty association on his terms. This Canada Day, celebrate. Enjoy. Bonne Fete pour tout le monde.
