I must speak out against the madness of bilingualism and multiculturalism. One language UNITES and English has proven to be the best for this purpose. Multiculturalism DIVIDES peo- ple into ethnic groups, thus en- suring that their backgrounds, customs and thinking remain dif- ferent.

There are many ethnic groups in Canada, all of which have their own country—of-origin lan- guage. To name a few — native Indians, English, French, Welsh, Scottish, Italian, Finnish, Pol-

ish, Ukranian, Swedish, Hungar- ian, Pakistani, Estonian, Chi- nese, Japanese, Greek, Viet- namese (with apologises to those not named). We are all Cana- dian, whether we were born here or are naturalized citizens.

I am an _ English-speaking Canadian. Some are Objiway and English-speaking Canadians, some are Polish and English— speaking Canadians, some are Finnish and _ English-speaking Canadians, some are Ukranian and English-speaking Canadians, and so on.

Now, all of a sudden, 4%

of the people in Canada who are French and English-speaking Canadians want to force every- one else in Canada by Govern- ment legislation to become flu- ent in French (in addition to the other one or two languages they have already had to learn) or else they will not be able to get or keep a job of even modest wages.

I, for one, have seen no move towards giving all people in Canada a chance to vote on this matter in either a Federal of Provincial election. I, among millions of others, do not agree with having every province in

remains totally French~speaking and French-reading only and I, among millions of others, believe that ONE LANGUAGE UNITES and that that unifying language has been and should continue to be the English language.

I pray to God that He will en- sure that English will continue to be the one official unifying lan- guage in Canada and, for that matter, the rest of the world. In the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.

Perhaps one of the Gem’s sta’ writers would like to ask the co puter center why does the prinj ers in Kelly Computer lab ”a ways” print a first page of dat, that no one wants, when the co puter user goes to print their fild In this day and age of high st dent costs it seems strange tha the computer center would allo) such a waste. No one uses thi first page of graphics the kell printers put out, for each file on prints.

I just put this forward in cag the. Gem would like to help figh the costs of the university. Mayb you could use that angle of wh the com. center would add need less cost to UPEI students?

Looking forward to the nex issue
