Vol. 16 No. 11 November 21, 1991 Beyond the two solitudes Course teaches the art of living in Quebec Contemporary Quebec culture learned through song

by Eve Krakow

Across the country, the image of Quebec as a land of two solitudes - anglophone minority and francophone majority standing divided and defiant - seems to flourish, perhaps propagated by the media, both in and outside the province. In reality, many Quebec anglophones express their interest every day in going beyond the language barrier to explore the rich culture found here.

Unconventional role

Wener, a former student union presi­ dent at Concordia, recalled that the University played an unconventional role in his business success. Back in 1971, with the cockiness of a brand-new Commerce graduate who intended to make his mark as an entrepreneur, he remarked to a Univer­ sity official, '1f you ever want to sell this place, give me a call." A few years later, the University put a building on Mackay St. on the market. Wener, a young father with little capital, borrowed money and bought it, laying the cornerstone for the multi-million­ dollar real estate business he runs today.
