European Stars and Stripes (Newspaper) - July 17, 1994, Darmstadt, Hesse                                Sunday july 17, 1994 world the stars and stripes Page 13west Canada also talks of autonomy by the Washington Post Vancouver British Columbia a in Canada talk of secession almost always has to do with Quebec. Here on the West coast however you can to be so sure. The resurgent possibility of Quebec a separation has provoked talk about British columbian a own Brand of separatism a proud and often angry declaration of Independence from Canada. A if our confederation is torn apart by Quebec a possible separation we will need to reconsider our citizenship a declared David Mitchell a member of the provincial parliament and student of the regions political history. A we will heed to put British Columbia first.�?�. A Mitchell is among a knot of influential westerners beginning to Champion some version of sovereignty for their Region a a demand for autonomy and authority that in some ways mirrors Quebec a. Their cause they say is not driven solely by Distant events in the French speaking province but by British columbian a confident new sense of destiny As a Force on the Pacific rim. Western a Independence a under whatever formula is the political expression of new found economic prowess. A Quebec will pull the trigger but from then on . Drives the bus a said Gordon Gibson author of a provocative new tract called plan b the future or the aps amps rest of Canada published by Vancouver a conservative Fraser Institute. Gibson foresees a Day when British Columbia possibly in conjunction with neighbouring Alberta would become master of its Domain. The West could become a free trading entity in a Canadian federation overhauled to look like the european Union. The government in Ottawa the capital would be reduced to a Small Council of ministers to handle such things As currency customs and Canadian foreign policy. Such devolution of authority Gibson noted in an interview mirrors what even moderate quebecois have sought from the Federal capital for a generation. Fed up with the stalemated status quo voters in Quebec appear Likely to install the separatist party in Power this fall and a referendum on sovereignty for Quebec is promised for 1995. One significant difference Between the two restive quarters of Canada a after language and culture a is that the resource Rich provinces of the Canadian West Are probably More economically viable As stand alone units than is Quebec. Western provinces pay More to the Federal Treasury than they get Back in Quebec its the other Way around a a fact often mentioned by westerners Seething about Quebec a demands for More Federal largess. Ornery Independent mindedness goes Back a Long Way in British Columbia and Alberta As does the bashing of Ottawa. When he was asked about British columbian separatism prime minister Jean Chretien likened it to criticism of Washington d.c., by texans. A the tradition Here in Canada is provincial govern rants sock it to us and we done to sock it to them a he said. Those historic feelings of alienation have become Fertile ground for the regions current wave of antipathy toward the Distant ruling elites in Ottawa and to a Ronto. V. A. A.
