Bridge Builders Watch Their Work Get 'Crushed' Vol. 16 No. 20 March 12, 1992 Bridge builders watch their work get 'crushed' PHOTOS: Barbara Davidson The Ecole Polytechnique's painstaking concentration (top) paid off in the annual Bridge Building Competition held last week at Concordia. One of its teams took the top prize. Competition organizer Sandro Domenicano gleefully applies the Crusher to one bridge (centre), getting a favourable reaction from the Concordia teams watching (bottom). Two of the home teams walked away with prizes - 'Last Minute Bridge' took third prize, while 'Get Bent' took the prize for aesthetics.

"It's not that I am pessimistic, but we have to make radical decisions, like asking Quebecers, 'Do you want to separate from Canada?' in a referendum question, not the convoluted question Bourassa put forward recently, or the 1980 referendum question on negotiating a sovereignty deal with Canada. It's time to ask a clear and simple question. "But I agree with the Beaudoin-Debbie proposal to amend the Canadian Charter of Rights to recognize Quebec as a distinct society. Whether this acknowledgement in the Charter will change anything remains to be seen. If actual powers are not given to Quebec to substantiate the distinctiveness, then it means nothing. "It is practically impossible to reach a consensus in Canada today. There is no consensus in this report. They are calling it a unanimous report, but six or seven members of the committee have dissented. It's a farce and a mockery. "The constitution is a debate among the elite, and it also serves to diffuse real social and economic problems. When we look at all the money spent on unity hearings and reports, the money would probably be better spent on the economy."
