THE DAY B.C. QUIT CANADARead and enjoy the original trade paperback edition of this bestseller-bound controversial novel now, before your neighbors tell you about it. It deals with the continuing and growing alienation of the West. "The problem is twofold", says one of the book's characters. "The two western provinces have been sending far more money to the Ottawa politicians than they ever get back. Even worse, much of this money has been squandered on the bilingualism myth first created by Pierre Trudeau in the Official Languages Act of 1969, (many who disliked the arrogant Quebecer said this action was largely to divert attention from his WW2 draft-dodging), and continued since then by French-speaking activists and cowardly politicians afraid of the so-called "Quebec backlash".  "For example, we have the shining example of the current defense minister publicly saying that Canadian armed forces would not get any more financial assistance. They'd even have to bum rides on US aircraft and use equipment which was in a deplorable state. 'But these soldiers had better learn to speak French', the minister said, obviously afraid of losing his cushy job awarded by a French-speaking prime minister, one of the original activists who have hijacked the federal civil service to promote their language goals. The fact that Canada's two largest and friendliest allies speak English obviously didn't impress this appionted politician. "English-speaking Canadians - 97% of the total population outside Quebec - have been hoodwinked into believing that French, a dying internantional language, now ranked about 12th and continually declining, is worth learning. The only citizens who force their kids to learn French are those who feel those kids have no other future except as overpaid, probably under qualified, civil servants in an increasingly French-speaking body. What an objective to offer your children!"
