We are witnessing in Canada the power of a single province. set apart by language and culture. that appears ready to place its own diversity above the unity of the whole country. Quebeckers apparently hold affection for Canada. but they give prime importance to their language and their distinct society. We in the United States have a lesson to learn from the Canadian experience. It is the lesson of our Nations motto: E Pluribus UnumOut of many. one. With 148 of the worlds 208 language groups represented within our borders. how is it that we in our country remain united? What has made a nation out of this hodgepodge of nationalities. races and colors represented by the immigrants who people our land? Why havent we fragmented into enclaves of Italians. Greeks.
