Petit discours d’histoire

du Quebec

Leandre Bergeron’s candid and illuminating appraisal of the political climate within Quebec intrigued some\, and startled others at the informal session he con- ducted last thursday afternoon. As the au-thor of “Petit Manuel d’Histoire du Quebec”, Bergeron has both assisted in and exem- plified the growth of political awareness within Quebec, especially when one compares that province with the rest of Canada.

According to a representative of New Canada Press, the “Petit Manuel” has sold 150,000 copies in Quebec, and upwards of 30,000 in the English translation, “The History of Quebec: A Patriote’s Handbook”. The difference bet- ween Quebec and the rest of Canada can be easily noticed when one observes that while the “Petit Manuel” was at the top of the bestseller list in Quebec, Jacqueline Susann’s “The Love Mat hine” occupied the same position in English speaking Canada.

The politicizing of the Quebecois has become a central theme within the labour movement of Quebec. Where the FLQ left off following the oc tober crisis the common front of labour has taken over; as Bergeron put it: “we have gone beyond the elitist type action” of the FLQ. The common front, consisting of the Confederation of National Trade Unions (CNTU), the Quebec Federation of Labour (QFL), and the teachers association, has gone beyond the restrictive role of mere labour representation and has embarked upon a programme of political education. Study I groups within shop locals, and shop newspapers reflect a political view of Quebec from their standpoint.

Evidence of the political un- dercurrent in the common front, and its political power, were ob- vious during the events of last may. The province, rocked by massive strikes, was confronted with the militancy of the “rank- and-file” worker. The sporadic terrorism of the FLQ was replaced by occupation of key offices, and entire communities-by the workers as a whole. Sept-Iles, one of the highest paid industrial towns in Canada was occupied by the workers in a general expression of dissent focused on the Bourassa government.

the The University of Waterloo volime 13, number 13 tuesday, 19 September, 1972

chc Bergeron pointed out the dif-

ference between the nationalism of the worker, as in the common front, and that of the Parti Quebecois. The desire for an in- dependent Quebecois nation is common to both, but the PQ ex- cludes the liberation of the working class under capitalism from. its brand of “reactionary nationalism”. For Bergeron the fight for the Quebecois nation goes hand in hand with the fight for the freedom of the working class that will make up the Quebecois state. Political liberation must be combined with the economic liberation of the Quebecois.

The threat of the Parti Quebecois in forestalling a genuine workers party is seen by Bergeron in its ability to suffocate polarization. To* overcome this that party must be opposed at all times, and as the Quebec people become steadily more aware of their political and economic position, it will be unable to maintain its credibility. - The struggle for Quebec today is being carried out by an amalgamation of all the different ethnic groups, joined together by their common membership in the working class. As one of the slogans heard last May in Quebec declares, “Nous, le monde or- dinaire ! ” (We, the ordinary people), it is the comon people who are now carrying on/ the fight. Bergeron is confident in the ability of such a movement among the rank-and-file both to gain political power, and to efficiently organise the economy of the nation. However, the need at present is for a cohesive and identifiable workers’ party.

Once such a party is established, it will focus its attention upon gaining power. The methods to be used were clarified by Bergeron. The “workers party will use the necessary means to bring about change.”

Far from excluding armed revolution, Bergeron seems cqnvinced that this is the only possible course to achieve economic, political and social

control of Quebec by the people. But are the people willing to use such a means? On the basis of the events last may-workers in Sept- Iles ready to face the Quebec police with crowbars, others with dynamite-Bergeron feels there is genuine support for whatever tactics become necessary.

The ability to organise the means of production, once con- trolled by the workers, was shown last spring in a psychiatric hospital in Montreal. It was taken over by unskilled workers, nurses and doctors and patients were pleased with the service-in fact, the care they received was reputed to have improved with the bureaucracy bypassed.

The quiet period in Quebec since last may, Bergeron says, is due to a focus on general analyqis of the situation: “Action in may, reflection now.” The political education continues, and more people are drawn steadily into the political current in Quebecois culture ; political literature is being published and read in Quebec like never before. The struggle continues, less active now than in the past, but Bergeron remains confident in the ultimate victory of the Quebecois.

Ottawa drops

OFS OTTAWA (CUP&Most students at Carleton University appeared to be with-holding their second in- stallment Qf tuition fees this week, while University of Ottawa student representative’s urged their

students to follow suit, despite that school’s withdrawal from the Ontario Federation of Students (OF9 .

OFS is organising the appeal to withold the second installment to allow the possibility of a fees strike in January. The strike would be designed to force the Ontario government to retreat from tuition fee increases announced last spring.

Carleton student council president Bruce Cameron estimated that 75 per cent of returning students registered by paying in installments.

The “overwhelmingly good response” confirms original plans to seek cancellation of classes for a province-wide day of study of the issues October 10, Cameron said.

Meanwhile, U of 0 council president Peter Beach said his organizati6n supported the OFS campaign because it had no choice.

“We were forced to take the OFS line,” he said. “We feel there must be some solidarity. It impresses the kids, the administration and most of all the government if every university in the province is doing it.”

In -the summer OFS meetings Beach had demanded an im- mediate fees strike in September, but most other student councils opted for the more cautious in- stallment-paying approach.

The disagreement was a major reason for U of O’s withdrawal from OFS. But Beach conceded a September fees strike by U of 0 alone would have been futile.

He had no idea how many students heeded council’s plea, but noted that about 5ooO students signed a petition calling for the cancellation of the tuition fee in- creases.

U of 0 will hold its day- of study on financing October 4.

In Toronto, the graduate students’ union at U of T is joining undergraduates in urging the withholding of second term fees. In addition, as a symbolic protest, the GSU is proposing that $100 of

second term installments be hild back and placed in a joint trust fund administered by a tryst company. Fees for most U of T graduate students rose by $100 this year. Other graduate unions, including the one at the University of Guelph, are reportedly proposing similar actions.

85% - of what?

At a meeting sponsored by the 85 percent Canadian Quota Com- mittee, Barry Lord, national chairman, started off on the “correct” ideological note by stating that the “problem is not American professors in them- selves but U.S. Imperialism”.

He then went on to give many , examples of U.S. imperialism and of tax advantages to American professors. Forty-five minutes later, he mentioned the role said American professors play in the imperializing of “Canadian culture”.

He explained that graduate students cost the Canadian tax- payer fifty to one hundred thousand big ones each, and that U.S. domination of the Canadian economy means that a large amount of that training will not be used.

According to Lord-and pretty well any statistics which deal with the Canadian economy-many branch plants of U.S. firms are shutting down and being relocated at home (including such biggies as ‘Canada’s’ automotive industry). The only response was from a junior go-getter, up-‘n-comin’ technocrat who said, “So what. Japanese labor is considerably more efficient and productive. We could import their cars.”

He also talked ‘about the proposed heinous NAWAPA plan to tap all. of Canada’s water resources fdr American industries.

Eventually he whipped out the clincher “One of the most vital components of U.S. control of our country is the grabbing hold of our culture”, and the way this is done, Lord says is to gain control of education in our country;

He pointed to the Wright report as proof of conscious “dismantling of our education system” on the part of the Canadian government.

The situation is worsening, especially in the social sciences and humanities-the “social-con- sciousness-f orming” set tors of the university. (It’s the old identity crisis, again. >

He implied that the high per- centage of American professors in our universities is a conscious campaign to “destroy the will (of the Canadian people) to resist”.

More to the point, the following occurred: arrangements made with the Riviera Motel could not be completed since the motel became overbooked. The management of &he Riviera apologized to Cotton, also directing him to the Conestoga Motel where alternative arrangements had been made. The vacancy sign denQted a one

Babies exposed In the last ish of the Chevron I had the op-

portunity to read about the internationally reknowned waterbabies. Nice stuff, all-reet, but it’s time the true story about the ‘babies was told. I bumped into the team (all 48 players, including coach Jacque Strappe) in Europe this summer

I while they trained with the Russian butterfly- catching team on the shores of the PO River in Italy. Now I understand where they developed their in- famous play of biting their opponents on the left buttock. Those Russians have been doing the same thing to mesmerize and capture dozens of rare Italian butterflies for years. They would sneak up on a gorgeous orange and blue cecropia-anthrax moth while it was perched on a milk-weed -plant and, well, you know the rest-no butterfly this side of the Alps ever had a chance. The waterbabies refined this rather coarse and insectary technique, practicing it on each other late at night as they played water polo in the PO. At the end of the summer, while on their way back to St. John’s Nfld., they figured from the results the play had on their games in the Queen Elizabeth swimming pool (eighteen torrid days of biting buttock on a boat- wow ! ), that they wouldn’t lose a game at Waterloo if they instituted the exciting (sic) maneouver in their play-book. Well, that shows where they developed their derierre play; no nationalists these guys, they had to go to Italy and train with the Russian butterfly team to devise something that would take them to the top of the national water- baby association in Ontario. What cads! There is no word to describe such despicable trickery. Everybody thinks the waterbabies are truly Canada’s own, a team which plays together and stays together, never importing outside plays or trying to deceive the public about where they learned their skills. If I were Savory Bandage (president of WAB-World Association of ‘Babies),

I would ban the entire team’ from Canadian com- petition. Should they continue to play, especially using their dangling anatomy dalliance, no team stands a chance. And it’s not hard to understand why.

Dust consists of Kenny Aaronson, who plays mean pedal steel and slide, drummer Marc Bell, and vocalist-guitarist Richie Wise, and could well mature into a very exciting group, which is not to say that Led Zeppelin-Deep Purple types will not find them immediately accessible.

-mart roberts

One of the nicest things about having to listen to review albums is that oc- casionally a previously underrated artist, heard only fleetingly on the radio or at a purple-hazed pot phantasmagoria, sud- denly becomes an integral part of that highly personal musical score which constitutes my daily listening habits. Never A Dull Moment (Mercury SRM l- 646), Rod Stewart’s new release, is the latest occurrence of this, somewhat humbling phenomenon, as well as one of the finest albums to come my way this year.

Stewart’s voice, which often sounds as if it’s being wrenched from the innards of an expiring bullfrog, is the antithesis of the slickness and polish sought by the Three Dog Nights of the rock world. He pushes against his limits, going hoarse here and missing a gear there, but always putting every resource he can muster into an interpretation. Technically, he’s laughable; once you get past that, however-and it took me four or five listenings - his dynamism and sincerity overcome any nagging doubts as to his. innate musicality.

Although Stewart’s vocal range is rather circumscribed, the same cannot be said of his choice of other people’s material. Never A Dull Moment includes excellent Lersions of “Angel” (Hendrix), “Mama You Been on My Mind” (Dylan), “Twistin’ the Night Away” (Sam Cooke), and “I’d Rather Go Blind,” an ancient R&B song, and it would be difficult to choose four more disparate examples of what makes up contemporary popular music. In other hands (such as Dave Van Ronk’s) this sort of eclecticism has proven disastrous, but Stewart combines adeptness in a particular idiom with the aforementioned intensity of performance, and stone-fucking-pleasure is the result.

The album also contains four original songs, three fine medium-rockers penned with Ronnie Wood, and a Stewart- Quittenton sequel to “‘Maggie May,” “You Wear It Well.” The latter is if anything superior to its predecessor, mixing such rock cliches as “Eatin’ my heart out tryin’ to get back to you” with the softer “You wear it well-a little old fashioned but that’s alright” in a song of sad but affectionate farewell. It’s super, as is the emotional violin accompaniment of Dick Powell.

With the exception of drummer Mickey Wailer, who seems less comfortable with this band than was Kenny Jones, Stewart receives impeccable backing on Never A Dull Moment. The extent of his influence is especially apparent in the way in which ex-Faces Ian< McLagen and Ronnie Lane have become tasteful, subdued ac- companists, something which those who heard them in their days with Steve Marriot will doubtless find implausible. And it would be difficult to overrate the guitar contributions of Ron ‘Wood: no flash, just near-total competence, always in harmony with Stewart’s conception of the appropriate mood for a particular song. So it is, indeed, Never A Dull Moment,

and I can’t think of a better album to lay on someone mimicking the “Rock is dying” nonsense that critics write when they haven’t anything better to do. It’s an intense, moving, and exceptionally vital achievement, and my only regret is that I now have to buy a mess of Rod Stewart albums and make up for lost time. (I know), I’m Losing You...

Traffic has released only two albums over the last few years. The latest, “Low spark of the high heeled boys” is a deadingly predictable effort. Dave Mason, one of the original group members, left just before the recording session. Winwood handles all guitar work as well as piano and organ. He shouldn’t be playing guitar.

His licks are repetitious and sloppy especially on the seven minute disaster “rainmaker”. There are only six songs on- the album, the title track being the longest (twelve minutes) and by far the best. It reminds me of “John Barleycorn” when traffic was peaking with their jazz-rock interpretations. On this cut Chris Wood’s sax and flute and Winwood’s fine piano work nirvanate and form long-lined counter jazz structures to the bass and drums bottom.

A Night on the Town (Big Tree BTS 2010) by Brownsville Station: a somewhat toned-down version of MC 5, Brownsville Station reputedly tears it up live; but this is a studio album which only in- termittently catches fire, given their apparent compulsion to attempt pseudo- country and pseudo-sensitive numbers of no special distinction. As a teenage lust band, however, they churn out 3 excellent songs (“Mad for Me,” “Mister Robert,” and “Wanted Dead or Alive”) redolent of drive-ins, Noxzema, and unused safes moldering in the secret compartment of your wallet/purse, and an entire album of same would go down smooth.

Buzzy Linhart (Kama Sutra KSBS 2053): an Lp possessing a tight band, good songs, and exceptional stereo prescence should have a lot going for it; and if it didn’t also have Buzzy Linhart, it might even be a winner. Linhart, whose vocals are perhaps slightly superior to Wild Man Fischer’s bizarre ravings- then again, perhaps not - is palatable on those few occasions when the band overpowers him, but otherwise manages to destroy material as diverse as “Take Me to the Pilot” and “Tutti Frutti.” An excellent woodwind player named Peter Ponzol stands out from the general apocryphalypticism, but the rest is pain.

Low quality sparks

Stevie Winwood is a grand master, a superstar, dwelling in Valhalla with Clapton, Page, and the rest of the boys. Assertions like these are the worst enemy of liberated rock. It can so easily be en- slaved by this type of artificial heritage. The revolution in music is only realised when the encumberances of form have been overcome. Rock music must swing and embrace chaos, laughing at the belief that there could be anything more worth celebrating than the present. The parasitic roots of fame could easily topple Stevie Winwood.

Never before in the history of films have geople experienced such a drought in even mediocre, never mind fine or good films. That The Salzburg Connection has been held over at the Odeon Hyland for a second week only testifies to this disappointment. The movie has zero plot and even less of a

theme. The feeble attempt at a story line revolves around the idia of international spying, counter-spying and reverse double-spying. But as implied above, it is very difficult to give anything about the movie away as there is nothing to give. And the only taking is done by the people who put out this empty nonsense-and we, the audience, are being took.

The movie is not only devoid of any reai story, but character development is also so conspicuously absent one wonders why the director and the actors would par- ticipate in this insult to themselves and their audience.

If one is to dig, it could be weakly claimed that the theme surrounds the pettiness of international espionage, a wasteful and useless piece of business, and that there is no longer good guy-bad guy stereotypes just the innocent boob and the bad (also stereotypic).

The idea of using, as a plot, the innocent bystander duped into working for an . espionage ring was first exploited by Eric Ambler. Later John Le Carre used it successfully once (The spy who came in from the cold). These authors point out Fhe valuelessness and the petty intrigues that go into the building of castles in the clouds, an unavoidable phenomenon natural to bureaucracy. But at least there are intricacies to the plot with the odd twist and turn, a sophisticated character analysis and the odd theme even if it is weak occasionally.

But this movie, like the book it was adopted from, is so poor that it does not deserve another word.

Butterflies are free

Butterflies are Free, contains all the ingredients for a light entertaining evening.

Goldie Hawn has played in Cactus Flower, and There’s a Girl in my Soup. In Butterflies, now playing at the Lyric, she, as usual, plays a slightly confused, now- generation girl who refuses to become emotionally involved with anyone. This is due to a pathetic six-day marriage at sixteen, after which she swears never to hurt anyone again. During the course of the movie she is forced to realize that she really does want to care for someone other than herself.

becoining a man is effectively portrayed. His resentment of people feeling sorry for him and being ‘kind’ because of his handicap comes across loud and clear; he wants to be accepted for himself.

The audience found it hard to realize they were watching an actor who isn’t blind at all.

Bishop’s bounced

While half the town’s population was crushed into the Iutheran gymnasium for a Sha-na-?a gymnastic show, another half spent the evening in pubs and movie theatres; fhe third and largest half spent their hours meaningfully-participating in the first football win for the university of Waterloo since last season. The start of this winning streak featured a cameo appearance by the Gaiters from Bishop’s U.

With the football performers poised and hyped, the warrior band went into a close ap- proximation of the Hockey Night In Canada theme song. The actions during the time the philharmonic performed showed that a running track wasn’t the only thing separating the players on the field from those in the stands. Twenty- four football players decked iv gleaming, clean uniforms stood motionless facing the maple leaf while three thousand participants attired in a mottled assortment of hats and robes chanted and stomped work-boots, sandals and bared feet in almost-unison.

So the football game began. Waterloo’s Steve Boghossian kicked the ball into the air to no one in particular, someone from Bishop’s caught it and was soon stopped. The fans settled in for a good evening at the ball park.

“Hey, this here is the best coke I’ve had in a long time.”

Sometime during their first series of plays, someone on the Bishop’s team fumbled the ball (those night games are hard to see), and the home- team w& ready for what appeared to be a sure three pointer (at least). Two downs and nowhere, third dowrl

and a whole bunch. What to do, decisions, decisions :

“Hey, they’re going for it, dammit they’re gbing for it.” They didn’t make it.

“Dammit, they didn’t make it.” The same situation again, only

five minutes later; decisions, decisions. . . . . “if at first you

don’t succeed. . . . . . “. They -didn’t make it this time either. Oh well, there’s always the second half.

Nothing different happened in the second quarter except we scored a touchdown after the quarterback Tade a fine effort around the end to take himself and the ball to the far side of the field close to the goal line, the tennis club and out of focus for the normal eye. The next play was the one worth six points, the referee jumped in the air and raised both his arms-everything else was far away and jumbled.

A bad snap from center sent the warrior punter back to his one yard line with the coaches in the stands yelling, “Run with it, throw it, smother it”. The poor boy was confused and decided to kick the thing-right into a Gaiter and thence into the end-zone. The warriors scrambled and recovered the ball but got nowhere. One point for Bishop’s U. (The scoreboard said two, but we know better.)

Half-time came with hot dogs, more mix and cigarettes for sixty-. five cents, but what the hell, the store is more than two blocki away.

After a halftime show featuring an empty playing field and assorted scuffles among drunken fans deciding where to go after the game, Bishop’s came out and quickly pulled the most dazzling play of the game.

This play refied heavily on the Waterloo pass defense going to sleep, and the Warrior intrepids complied politely, watching the perfectly-thrown bomb settle into the hands of the Bishop reciever as he trotted into the end zone, dancing with glee. The glee quickly died, however, when he learned the TD was to be called back due to an offsides infraction.

Following a recovered Gaiter fumble, the Warriors tallied again in the third, making it 14-1, and then something happened while the fans were jumping up and down in front of the chevron reporters to add two more points, and that was it-the only game in town . .Score: Sha-Na-Na $7,500, Waterloo 16 points.

Chevron sport of the week

Truckin’ to beat t The Chevron, devoted to the

furthering of world sport and physical contact, has been continuing in its tireless search for new and stimulating sporting events. This time we’ve found a ringer- Truckin’.

The fine art of truckin’ evolved in the frigid, far-reaching expanses of northwestern Ontario. The dropping tem- peratures spurned research into outdoor activity to keep the inhabitants ‘bot an’ hothered while not within the warmth of their abodes. Thus truckin’ made its start. To understand this sport one must be in full comprehension of its in- tricacies, rules and assorted trivia.

Points are scored in the following categories :

the dlc member: Canadian university press (cup) and Ontario weekly newspaper association (OWNA) ; subscriber: last post news service (LPNS).
