...affairs of state, the Trudeau style is something else again. Last week he won high marks from Canadians for his handling of Canada's only international dispute: General de Gaulle's persistent encouragement of Quebec separatists. When De Gaulle at his press conference brusquely lumped Canada with Nigeria and Malaysia as federations in trouble, Trudeau shot back that the general was "not overly impressed with reality." Nor, apparently, with diplomatic good manners. Trudeau at the same time blistered the French government for sending a cultural emissary to French Canadians in Manitoba in an "underhanded and surreptitious" manner without...

Prickliest Issue. While Trudeau's victory was largely one of personality rather than party, it was also an endorsement of his stand on Quebec-which is the bitterest and prickliest issue in Canada today.
