...French-speaking Quebec from the rest of English-speaking Canada. Estimates of its strength run from a handful to a few score-and so far the cops have no idea who the leaders are. But neither Quebec's Premier Jean Lesage nor the federal government of Prime Minister Lester Pearson dismisses the FLQ lightly. For behind the bombs and bombast lie deep-rooted grievances that affect all of French Canada's 5,500,000 citizens. The vast majority of them do not want to be separate. But they do want to be equal...

Pearson, Canada's Prime Minister of a month, was flying in for the first weekend of the season, and the President wanted everything shipshape.

His new Cabinet met four times in the first week. Newsmen clogged the corridors scribbling furiously to catch all that was being said about new capital funds for regional development, new ideas to promote industry, new enthusiasm for tariff cutting in international trade. Buoyant and assured, he bounced on nationwide...
