...being to take two more (1962, 1963) to remove him. This conclusion, along with Mr. Ronald Cohen's conclusion in the March 13 CRIMSON, is premature. Mr. Cohen is accurately down to "brass tacks" in pin-pointing Quebec as the pivotal province in the April 3 Canadian general election. But his analytical blows are less accurate as he moves to his conclusion that "the Social Credit party and the Liberals should slice the Quebec pie alone" and "the Liberals should receive by far the larger "portion" and hence the "Liberals will be reasonably sure of a majority in the twenty...
Quebec is indeed a complicated riddle in this election, but in unravelling the complex, Mr. Cohen has overlooked the obvious. Two immutable promises exist in any analysis of Quebec political behaviour in federal elections. One is Quebec's relentless resistance to Anglo-Canadian or American encroachment on her cherished values and identity. Two is Quebec's penchant for heroes be they political or otherwise...
...decision of the Liberal leader, Lester Pearson, to arm Canadian Voodoo interceptors and Bomarcs with American made nuclear weapons is singularly resented in Quebec. Every Quebec newspaper save one has vehemently editorialized against him for this apparent "capitulation" to the Americans. In addition, in contradiction to Mr. Cohen's assertion, Premier Lesage of Quebec has not been "rallying provincial support" behind Mr. Pearson.

Mr. Pearson may have promised to set up a Royal Commission to study biculturism but the Prime Minister has gained admiration and trust in Quebec by his dramatic rumblings over American "intrusion" in Canadian affairs. Mr. Diefenbaker may "have the face of Bugs Bunny and sound like the voice of Moses"--but he fits the hero image better than Mr. Pearson. He has wagged his finger at Washington and he is a powerful "unequivocal-sounding" platform performer. And the crucial fact remains that the Prime Minister...
Though all this greatly pleases Canadians, who are happy to see the Yanks second best in something. Aluminium is not so much a Canadian company as a truly international one. Its founders came from Pittsburgh, its plants span 30 countries from Japan to Africa, and 85% of its sales are made in more than 100 foreign nations. Says President Nathanael Vining Davis, 47, a Harvard-educated ('38) U.S. citizen: "Canada can use only 15% of our output. We have to sell the rest of it to the world...
