“REVOLUTION” IN QUEBEC
Change In Status Thought Certain Although a minor revolution was going on in Quebec, most French Canadians seemed to be very rational and disturbances and difficulties tended to be stimulated by university students and younger persons, said Dr. A. F. Wilson, a New Zealand chemist, who returned to Christchurch yesterday to see his parents. He worked in Quebec for the last year. “But there is certainly going to be a change in the status of Quebec,” Dr. Wilson said. “It is not going to secede, but it will have a different status from the other provinces. While content to leave such matters as defence and foreign policy to the Canadian Government, Quebec wants greater control of its own economic development.” That was also true of other provinces all across Canada, he continued. Most of the Premiers were strong men, and they were tending to take power from the central government. Canada was leading a precarious existence trying not to become another United States, but it was getting more like it all the time.
