THIS BLATANT OPPRESSION was the first of many steps taken to prevent the people of the "province" from achieving what they wanted, par­ ticularly the control of their lives and preservation of their language. The next big move was made in 1810. After a long series of disputes between the Lower Canadian Assembly and the majority-holding, Parti Canadien, over a bill excluding judges from the assembly, Governor James Craig dissolved it, and suspended the Constitution. He also ordered troops into the major cities. Three leading French political figures were jailed; one of them, Pierre Bedard was held without bail for a year. After the Russell report in 1837, the British government refused to allow responsible government in both Upper and Lower Canada. The French population, led by Joseph Papineau began to form guerilla organizations. On November 26, British authorities ordered the arrests of 26 French leaders and then attacked rebel positions. In a series of pitched battles, a dozen soldiers were killed and over a hundred wounded. The Patriotes' leadership retreated to US territory from where they carried out raids over the next 18 months. In reprisal, the British burned several villages. The Constitution was again suspended until the Union of 1841 came into effect as a device aimed at submerging the French-Canadians by a union with Upper Canada.

THE CATHOLIC CLERGY refused to support the Patriotes. They wanted to make the people believe their mission in life was related to spiritual matters, rather than daily realities. At the same time, they persuaded the people to spend their money on the church, instead of themselves. They also instilled in the people the idea that their role on this earth was to be either a missionary to convert the heathens, a civilizer of the country or a farmer, who could produce food for the Church and everyone except himself. The act of confederation was concluded in 1867. Despite what the history books tell of the union of "two founding peoples" and of the advantages for all con­ cerned, there was a lot of dissatisfaction at the time. Nova Scotia and the other Maritime provinces objected because they would lose their present autonomy.

Essentially it matters very little whether

It would seem to be obvious that a peaceful separation is in many ways feasible and desirable. No one really wants a revolution unless it is necessary. However, even supposing that peaceful negotiations were entertained, would they be able to continue for any length of time without breaking down? The only way this could be accomplished would be in a symbolic separation. Such a change would most likely be acceptable to English Canada. Their major :nterest lies in the economic aspect of Quebec and the value it holds for the rest of the nation. Presupposing it came to that and the Parti Quebecois (or a similar organization) had their way, can one assume that the people of that province would meekly accept such a thing? The problems of Quebec are mostly economic in nature and will remain unsolved after a "token separation". Can it be taken for granted that, after so many long years of struggle, the FLQ and/ or other revolutionary organizations will retire quietly to the rear? It seems highly improbable that an organization such as the FLQ, which has submerged three times in the past decade and always re-emerged more powerful, is through playing its role in Quebec's struggle. Last year a few were captured, but those that escaped can hardly have given up the aims, struggles and ambitions of a lifetime.

Can there be a peaceful separation? Probably not. If the demands of Quebec are to be met, the federal government will have to relinquish total political and economic control. This they will not be allowed to do by the other provinces. In addition, pressure will come from the vested interests in the United States and England, both of whom have control and a major source of income in Quebec.
