EDITORIAL CANADIAN - NO SUCH ANIMAL Editor Canadians do not exist, however, it is my good fortune to be one. Before you put me down as mentally in- capacitated, let me elaborate on the opening paradox. There has been a great deal of concern expressed over the Canadian identity and Canadian unity. Having no stereotype to cling to, many Canadians feel insecure. Can you conjure up in your mind the image of an All-Canadian Boy ? Do we have a Canadian culture or national spirit? These unpleasant queries often bring a blush, from the depths of our Canadian inferiority complexes, straight to our nondescript Canadian faces. I believe that this needless embarrass- ment results from our firm conviction that we are in dire need of unity, identity, nationalism and an image. Oh how safe, comfortable and nice it would be if all things fitted into neat little cubbyholesi Let us count Warren Bourgeois among our blessings the fact that Canadians do not fit into rigid cate- gories. We are as varied as the many landscapes of our country. We cannot frown upon each other for not living in accordance with our national image. We don ' t have one. Because we lack ardent nationalism and its dubious advantages, we — each of us — must be judged as an individual, not as a pre-packftged, pre- digested bundle labelled Canadian . Therefore, we need not take refuge in patriotic beer commercials, hockey games or borrowed British traditions. Indeed, we have two choices open to us. We can become completely Americanized, or we can recognize the merits of living in a country where great opportunity actually co-exists with a minimum of pressure to conform.
