"м -- - - Ц !B!lS S6f J blnj; , copygQt i pn of_, the, Association of Unledj Ukrainian, Canadians and the Wor-kers Benevolent Association of Canada, . held In Winnipeg May .19, 1978., to mark their sixtieth anniversary passed a reso-lution entitled "Our commitment to the future In a united Canada"; here are parts of the resolution: - Our country today is at the crossroads of its history'.. We are a people divided by the burdens of the past, and. confused and uncertain about the future. If there is one question upon which most people agree, It's on Canada as a land in trouble. Confederation, as we have known it for more than a century, Is breaking down as a viable federal state. Old arrangements and relationships, set in the twilight years of-Briti- sh colonial power on this continent, are now out of joint with the new reality. The country's capacity for growth and soli-darity is Inhibited and diminished,-Ol- d concepts and -- values are being uprooted. And tensions grow apace as the quality of life deteriorates. What is at stake Is the survival of a country, that has outgrown its pastj and now confronts the future. The real cha-llenge Is to turn the break-dow- n of today into a break-throug- h for tomorrow; We havethe people and resources for thelask if. only) we can liberate both from the shackles-o- f the past. What is missing, and urgently needed, Is aconcensus on the nature of thecrfsls. The public is;not being enlightened by the leaders of governments and the opposition parties in parliament and the legislatures. Until this Is done, much of the road ahead will remain in darkness and confusion. The. most that governments and, politicals have offeree! are more patches jfor.theweake?. ning fabric of Confederation, and an empty slogan (or Canadian unity. Unity has neverbeenjhe strongpplnt of ''our nalloriaf''exf8tence'. We. formed and grew In bits, and pieces. Arid "even now, those who speak -- In the name of Canadian unity, are divided and in conflict. The unity Issue is not only political and constitutional, but a mix of many prob-lems and tensions. There Is the concern with regional disparity; the foreign take-over of our resources and economy; massive unemployment and creeping, po-ve'tr- y; and alienation of our cultural values. But it Is to the national question that we address this statement, and to the Issue of unity. '' - The political slogan for unity was Inspired by the federal response to the threat of Quebec separatism. It expresses a sentiment to which most will instincti-vely react. But with all Its appeal, it, is no substitute for leadership, and' policies to .resolve the crisis, Nor is the federal task force an example of leadership in search of solutions.

Unity must be sought In the solution of the prob-lems that divide and incapacitate us. It cannot be reduced to a popularity contest with the separatists, nor to a choice bet-ween separatism and the status quo. The key to any democratic solution of the crisis Is in our recognition of Canada as the homeland of two nations, and in constitutional terms -- of union in which both are equal and voluntary partners. Only then will we open the door to the "third" option to the two unacceptable extremes now before the people. The first step, we are convinced, is to recognize the bi-natio- nal character of the Canadian reality. The question of union Is not new to different periods of our history The Royal Commission,, as recently as 1965, called for fundamental changes in the structure of federalism if the country was to survive. They openly warned that "if Canada Is to exist, there must be a true partnership, and that partnership must be worked out as equals, They (the two nations) must be prepared jd discuss In a forthright, open-minde- d way tho practical Implications of such a, partnership". This was the thrust of the AUUC brief to the Commission in 1964, and of the Cana-dian Council, of National Groups In which we participated.. Not only did we urge such a, partnership of. our two nationsin more definitive terms, but-w- e called for a new Canadian constitution (of our own making) as the bedrock of union and equal rights. . The Commission, failed,to,heed its own warning In 'the reports that followed. A "forthright and open-minded- ;: discussion , rjas yeUo beg In; It has faecbhie clear that the Issue, cannot, be left, to ' governments ahcfpbiltlclansuThe people must intervene. There itf more to tfircrislsiof unity and survival' than a'confllct between the two dominant ethnic groups in Canadian soci-ety. Our population Is the historical sum of peoples from many lands. There are more than 100 ethnic origins according to the 1971 census Thus It Is that the, ethnic communities of yesterday and today-cam-e into being as the natural consequence of historical development. -- Active and viable, they are also highly visible In contempo-rary life and politics. But as the "others"; It may seem strange that, after more than a century, and with almost a decade of official approval In the name of rnultl-culturalls- m, they are still regarded as the peripheral "others"; the traditional-strange- rs within our gates; as permanent out-siders on the fringes of society. It Is a climate and state of mind that has been , cultivated over many generations. t Government policies and programs have rhot dissipated the sense of ethnic aliena-tion that pervades the life of the people. There is the patronizing concept of ethni-city as some .exotic mosaic of colourful folk cultures., It Is seldom, however, that the 8amj9;pe6p{eJaV'pj9rpejved'a8 full-fledg- ed уШ$Џ$о$Џј.ftooliv or birth, belong'tplslj citizenship „slogan , Hasfjohg describedCanadians as .Immigrants all".. Appropriate as that may be ina historic sense, if Is time we changed It to "Canadians ail". , The majority of the Ca'nadian peoplejare 'native born — the children of generations of Immigrants. Nearly .85, percent were , born here according, to ;the 1971 census. This represents a significant shift In the demographic base of thepopulation, with an accompanying reduction In the British proportion of that base. Both develop-ments have a direct bearing on an Impor-tant aspect of the nattonal question. One has to dp with tf new ethnic;c6hsciousness In the make-u- p of tho pedple, and the other with the changing face and personality of -- English-speaking Canada. What seems to be emerging, however ill-defin- ed, is a new ethnic model, for gene-rations of native born. They .are gradually acquiring a ,sense of .ethrilclty .that is rooted In their, Canadian prig In Many- - have abandoned thej hyphenated mark of na-- , tlpnajjdentlty, while" others are, .now. tal-king about discarding i.t , .V. , . The jo8s,,pf .the,.ethnic hyphen,, Is , not ,t' it'jU I. f necessarily a sign of diminishing roots in the people of origin, but of seeing those roots in the soil of Canada. What appears to be emerging is a. distinct sense of peoplehood that's indigenous to Canada. One can best discern this in the national community with a strong and highly active ethnic presence. What was once known as English Cana-da, with emphasis on the British, is now pbpularly referred to as English-speakin- g Canada. It's a term that reflects the changing character of the national popu-lation, outside Quebec, if not In the power base of society. It reveals a new ethnic consciousness of ourselves as part of the Canadian people. The ethnic groups are also changing In the process. And many important ques-tions are now being raised. In the struggle to redefine the Canadian reality, there is the need to re-ass- ess the present role and status of the ethnic.groups. It is an impor-tant part of the search for answers to. the national question. The answers Will hot be found in the federal concept of Canada as a monolith of multiculturallsm. Federal policy on multl-culturalis- m, now in its seventh year, was the government's response to ethnic tensions In: the F,rench-Eriglis- h crisis, and to some of the recommendations by the Royal Commission on Bllinguallsm and Biculturallem. There were mixed' feelings when the policy was launched in October 1971, and unallayed mlsgivlns.ever since.. It was condemned, by some, as a policy de-signed to provide an ethnic alternative to Canadian bi-national-lsm. ,And there were other concerns that are valid today. " We were amongthose who welcomed the positive features' of that policy" —'such aV1bognitl6n'4ndald'tothAibeu'lture'8 and group life. We felt that' both were long overdue. But we were aleo apprehensive about its potential for political mischief, favouritism and discrimination. Whatever else It would come to mean, there was the unwritten law of tokenism and coyert discrimination against progressive organi-zations and communities — including our own. Equally disturbing has been the real and present danger that .It could be .used against the French Canadians in the. name of Canadian unity. The criterion for this policy has been politics before culture. Seen over the years, it has been reduced loan exercise In conformity. And even though It has been, tempered by token support to a' few projects in the excluded communities, these. were exceptions to the rule.

According to, figures published by the Independent Editors Association, of the $87.3 million invested in the publishing of textbooks in1 1973, only $28 million, 32 percent, were spent on Canadian books. The country's schools dedicated ,only 2.6 percent of theirbudget to books edited in Canada. Of the 17 publishers that reached sales of „more than $3 million in 1973, .12. were (U.jS. subsidiaries,, and, one. British. Only fpur.wpre' Canadian. , d, LrThe''Quebey Teachers Union denounced the domination of the publication; of text-books by foreign monopolies, principally U.S., which in many cases obliges the Frenchspeaklng student to use books in English. All reports arrived at the conclusion that the adaptations of U.S. books used in the teaching of Canadian history — and which are pot necessarily, written by Canadians — lack vitality, and exclude controversial elements, such as the causes and effects of important events. The lack of historic perspective and the vague notion of national tradition among Canadian students, created mainly by those problems, preoccupies Canadian teachers who are insisting on. the use of books written and edited, in Canada. 33£5SS£ffiS . i '!ii.i' 4i t Li jW t i-'- J, г ! ,- - ; i i 1 1 U Ottawi se nastavlja istraga o nezako-- nitlm postup'cima ,v federalne .pollcije (RCMP); hajednom od posljednjih zasje-- Л danja1strazne kpmisijerjedan od Sefova ove pollcije je prizriao da je u fbku posljed- - ' njih dvadeset godlna izvreno. na stotine-- 1 "'riezakonltlh provala u'pri'vaVne stanove I ' капсеШје.'

According to, figures published by the Independent Editors Association, of the $87.3 million invested in the publishing of textbooks in1 1973, only $28 million, 32 percent, were spent on Canadian books. The country's schools dedicated ,only 2.6 percent of theirbudget to books edited in Canada. Of the 17 publishers that reached sales of „more than $3 million in 1973, .12. were (U.jS. subsidiaries,, and, one. British. Only fpur.wpre' Canadian. , d, LrThe''Quebey Teachers Union denounced the domination of the publication; of text-books by foreign monopolies, principally U.S., which in many cases obliges the Frenchspeaklng student to use books in English. All reports arrived at the conclusion that the adaptations of U.S. books used in the teaching of Canadian history — and which are pot necessarily, written by Canadians — lack vitality, and exclude controversial elements, such as the causes and effects of important events. The lack of historic perspective and the vague notion of national tradition among Canadian students, created mainly by those problems, preoccupies Canadian teachers who are insisting on. the use of books written and edited, in Canada. 33£5SS£ffiS . i '!ii.i' 4i t Li jW t i-'- J, г ! ,- - ; i i 1 1 U Ottawi se nastavlja istraga o nezako-- nitlm postup'cima ,v federalne .pollcije (RCMP); hajednom od posljednjih zasje-- Л danja1strazne kpmisijerjedan od Sefova ove pollcije je prizriao da je u fbku posljed- - ' njih dvadeset godlna izvreno. na stotine-- 1 "'riezakonltlh provala u'pri'vaVne stanove I ' капсеШје.'
