In 1965, the interim report of the Royal Commission on Bilingualism and Biculturalism
proclaimed that without knowing it, “Canada is passing through the greatest crisis in its
history.” Today, we are more aware of its nature and the pain is more deeply felt. It has
become apparent that the fault in the nation’s psyche runs even deeper and manifests
itself in a far more complex pattern that was originally thought. Moreover, Canada’s
present crisis is taking place in a radically changed world. On the one hand, there are
ecological concerns and nationalistic and ethnic claims for self-determination. On the
other, we are sleepwalking toward large economic trading blocks and the increasing
dominance of powerful corporations.
