More and more it is obvious that
Premier Jean Lesage of Quebec
nd his super-nationalists are
eading Prime Minister Pearson
s if he were a blind, docile can-
Ine on a leash. This, of course,
not to be disrespectful of the
Ruchec government or of the peo-
ble in Quebec. It’s simply that the
Mevovernment of Quebec recognizes
hat it can have its own way with
the government of Canada,
S The most recent disclosure of
€ manner in which this poli-
Hical osmosis works came just a
few days: ago when the govern:
ent of Quebec wrote to Prime
dinister Pearson and said to put
he so-called Fulten-Favreau for:
ula for amending Canada’s Con-
Ftitution in the deep freeze. With-
but, as he claima, knowing any-
ing about the letter from Jean
esage to Lester Pearson, ex-Just-
ice Minister Favreau . made a
peech in which he said it would
a good idea to postpone the
ans regarding the Fulton-Fay-
eau formula,
m™ The Fulton-Favreau formula is
mso named because the ex-Conser-
me vative Justice Ministér Fulton de-
im veloped it and the ex-Liberal Just-
fice Minister Favreau adopted it.
a Now, Mr. Favreau says that he
wants to be an ex-supporter of the
plan as well as an ex-Justice min-
ister,

The interesting, and sad, part
of this game is that Favreau and
the Liberals only supported the
plan because it suited Quebec at
that particular time. There wasn’t
any thought given to the matter
by the Liberals in Ottawa — they

.First Stage Set

For Donation Plan

At a meeting of the Terrace
Arena Association held here Mon-
day night, Jt was decided that the
first approaches towards a payroll
deduction plan to help finance con-
struction of an ice arena, will be
implemented in the near future.

Conferences with local union
leaders wili be held in an effort
to recruit assistance in drawing up
a deduction plan that meets with
the approval of most employees.

Leaders will be contacted next
week and invited to attend an
Arena Association executive meet-
ing on Monday, February 7 in the
Terrace Hotel,

The Arena executive hopes to
come up with a payroll deduction
plan which calls for regular volun-
tary contributions of a nominal
degree, designed to create no un-
due strain on donors.

Members of the Arena executive
will also contact businesses in the
Terrace area which do not operate
under union agreements, in an
effort to set up a similar contri-
bution plan with employers and
employees,

solicitor, has ‘returned to Terrace

Robertson and Associates. While
Mr, Williams will make his home

managed by John Pousette, wha
is mow Clerk Administrator for
the District of Terrace Municipal-
ity. ;

Terrace in 1968 for his active par-
ticipation in Terrace Little
Theatre. :
Within a months time, Mr. Wil-
liams will be joined by his wife,
¥vonne, and infant daughter, Gina.

didn’t need to give any thought
for Premier Lesage of Quebec was

obviously doing their thinking for]... -

them, Now he’s doing some differ.
ent thinking. He doesn’t want the
Constitution brought back from
England for amending purposes
for that doesn’t suit the desires of
Quebec, He would sooner have us
genuflect our way to London each
time we want to make amend-
ments to the B.N.A. Act, which is
our Constitution.

Ive said it before and I'll say
it again; Prime Minister Pearson
acts as if he were a diplomatic re-
presentative from another planet.
As a result, he is always ready to
compromise — always ready to
meet the demands of the other
person or governments — always
Teady to cater to a more powerful
voice — always ready to let some-
one else do his thinking for him.

What's the result? It's bad for
Canada for it merely adds fuel to
the growing fires of nationalism
(or perhaps provincialism is the
better word). The unifying force
of the federal government is zet-
ting to be‘like that of a four cylin:
der engine with only ane spark-
plug.

Regrettably, people in Western
Canada are getting a little fed
up with this sort of thing for we
can see in it the eventual break-up
of Canada as it exists today. When
selfish, political interests in one
part of a nation have so much
power, influence and control, what
is to happen to the ofher parts? J
know the people at home are pon-
dering this question. The Prime
Minister should be pondering it
too.
