 Lester Bowles Pearson's vision of Canada 
  
 2. 
  
 "The Royal Commission on Bilingualism and Biculturalism was established on 
 July 19, 1963, 99 days after he (Pearson) had won his minority Liberal 
 government of 95 seats." 
  
 One of the ten commissioners was ".Andre Laurendeau .by any standard, a 
 dubious choice for the task of uniting Canada. Formerly editor of Le Devoir, 
 the voice of Quebec nationalism, and a former leader of the separatist party 
 the Bloc Populaire, he offered no credentials for championing the 
 constitutional vision of a united country." 
  
 "The prime minister ensured that the composition of the royal commission 
 favoured central Canada. The terms of reference for the commission, however, 
 revealed the most about its purpose. Given the demographic reality of the 
 country, the commissioners were ordered to define Canada on the basis of the 
 two-nation theory. In fact, this was no commission of inquiry at all. " 
  
 "As the commissioners perceived Canada, the "Bi-Bi" Commission need never 
 have taken place. They and the Liberal government had already decided 
 exactly what Canada's make-up should be. They began from the principle of an 
 "equal partnership between founding races," which the commissioners 
 considered the "mainspring of our terms of reference." The course was set. 
 All that was left for them to do was establish the policy and mechanics 
 needed to back up that principle. They saw no need to consult the Canadian 
 people about any of this." 
  
 I recommend the reader get the book listed below, from which the excerpt 
 above is taken, and, after reading it you will understand how the English 
 speaking peoples of Canada have been mislead by our politicians into a 
 policy that favours the Francophone to the exclusion of all the rest of 
 Canadians. I was shocked when I read it because I recognized many of the 
 issues and today we are experiencing the results.
