Will
we
be
a
U.S.
state
When
the
Canadian
flag
was
lowered
for
the
last
time,
and
replaced
atop
the
pole
on
Capitol
Hill
by
the
Stars
and
Stripes,
several
critical
issues
were
spotlighted.
Before
you
flip
out
and
panic,
the
vent
hasn't
happened
yet
but
the
CBC
drama-tization
was
broadcast
to
an'apathetic
Canadian
audience
last
month.
Canada
had
voted
to
join
the
U.S.!
But
the
alarming
part
was
that,
in
subsequent
discussions
with
friends
and
acquaintances,
little
comment
or
thought
had
been
aroused.
There
were
a
few
extreme
reactions,
like
the
short,
blonde
girl
who
said
she
cried
through
the
whole
show.
Like
the
more
extreme
guy
with
glasses
fatigue
jacket
and
short
hair
was
ready
to
buy
a
rifle
and
start
planning
the
-defense
of
our
homeland.
But
what
did
the
milkman
have
to
say?
Nothing.
If
he'd
seen
the
program,
he
hadn't
related
to
it.
The
same
held,
for
most
other
people
whom
I
tried
to
engage
in
a
discussion
about
the
issue
of
foreign
ownership
and
takeover
of
Canada.
people
didn't
relate
Initially,
I
felt
the
CBC
used
poor
judgement
in
timing
the
show's
appearance.
After
all,
there
had
been
no
recent
crises
involving
the
subject.
The
only
news
reports
that
people
could
link
to
the
show
involved
negotiations
over
the
sale
and
export
of
natural
gas.
In
short,
the
CBC
blew
a
beautiful
opportunity
to
get
the
people
thinking
about
Canada's
future.
Or
did
they?
The
thought
hit
my
brain
one
night,
and
left
me
with
all
circuits
overloaded.
Maybe
they
have
information
which
can't
be
released,
but
which
pertains
very
directly
to
the
issue.
And
two
days
later,
Canadian
Press
wrote
a
story
about
1,000
people
demonstrating
in
Ottawa
against
foreign
ownership
and
a
closely-related
subject;
the
Continental
Energy
Plan
now
being
pushed
by
Washington.
Picture
this:
An
increasingly
wasteful
and
greedy
industralized
nation
of
200
million
people,
rapidly
running
out
of
natural
resources
and
energy.
need
Canada's
resources
North,
separated
only
by
a
(supposedly)
undefended
border,
is
a
cheeky
virgin
land,
its
resources
nearly
untouched.
Enough
to
keep
the
factories
and
smelters
running
for
several
hundred
more
years.
Metals
vital
to
the
national
defense
posture,
in
the
construction
of
missiles,
warheads,
high-speed,
high-altitude
interceptors
and
bombers.
Resources
necessary
for
that
land
to
honor
its
foreign
committments
abroad,
to
keep
its
ever-increasing
number
of
enemies
at
bay.
All
the
power
that
nation
will
need
to
light
its
cities.
All
the
water
those
cities
will
need
for
life,
now
that
their
own
sources
have
been
contaminated.
Yes,
maybe
the
CBC's
timing
wasn't
that
bad.
Maybe
we've
just
about
ran
out
of
time.
Maybe
we've
been
too
complacent
for
too
long,
and
need
to
do
a
lot
of
soul-searching.
The
choice
could
be
between
a
lowered
standard
of
living
and
saluting
old
glory;
but
we,
as
a
nation
will
have
to
establish
our
priorities
while
we
still
can.
Or
perhaps
it
is
already
too
late.

in

it

they
had
gone
too
far
in
what
we
ail
recognized
as
being
a

would

we

a

"CHAIRMAN

As
I
understood
you
intend
ed
to
give
them
notice
you
had
better
get
out
of
the
war
or
we
will
burn
your
cities?
'GENERAL
O'DONNELL:
I
thought
that
would
take
care
of
the
humane
aspects
of
the
problem..
We
thought
we
could
do
it.
Tell
them
to
either'
stop
the
aggression
and
get
back
over
the
38th
parallel
or
they
better
have
their
wives
and
children
and
bedrolls
to
go
dawn
with
them
because
there
is
not
going
to
be
anything
left
up
in
North
Korea
to
return
to.
"CHAIRMAN
RUSSELL:
What
decision
was
made
at
that
suggestion
of
yours?
"GENERAL

We
were
not
at

time
permitted
to
do
it

Now,
as
a
matter
of
fact,
Northern
Korea
has
been
virtually
destroyed,
hasn't
it?
Those
cities
have
been
virtually
destroyed.
"GENERAL
O'DOirNELL:
Oh,
yes,
we
did
it
all
later
anyhow
...
I
would
say
that
the
entire,
almost
the
entire,
Korean
Peninsula
is
just
a
terrible
mess.
Everything-
is
destroyed.
There
is
nothing
standing
worthy
of
the
name
...
Just
before
the
Chinese
came

were
grounded.
There
were
no
more
targets
