SOLILOQUY
------- - ---- - ----- By KEN ADACHI

It's Great to be a Canadian?
Faris, France
It is only after one is away from Home for a while that one
begins to think, how great, after all, it is to be a Canadian. It is
not that Europe has begun to pall; on the contrary, it remains very
much of a fairyland, a place where a swarm of contradictions is
met face-to-face every day, and where the dark corners and bright
lights exude the air of strangeness and wonder. Even as I look out,
once again, from my room in Montparnasse into narrow, cluttered
Rue Delambre, I suddenly become possessed with a hundred differ­
ent images.
But suppose, for a moment, that you could change your nation­
ality. I would not. I have never really been touched by the resound­
ing trumpets of blood-red nationalism. I have never become excited
by the question whether or not Canada requires a distinctive flag
apart from the Union Jack. And if O Canada were to be played in
theatres instead of God Save The Queen, I would still attempt to
hurry out before it is played. I have noticed, too, that the English
also try to avoid standing at attention to the Anthem whenever pos­
sible. These external rappings or symbols are really a bore; they
do not matter one way or another. They do not stoke the fires of
nationalism in me.
What matters, then, is the feeling that no matter how many
times you stray away, you will either come come back to Canada
or give it top place in your affections. This is not mere homesickness
or sentimentality—I have been away long enough to overcome that.
I will suggest, though, that the clear, beautiful music of Canada
will not come across so strongly as when you find yourself physic­
ally remote from it.
Now that I am in Europe, however, it is difficult to define what
holds .people there or what attracts foreign visitors. What can there
be- about Canada that makes me proud and happy to be a citizen of
it? Is there the same kind of shiver of delight that would overcome
me, say, on first seeing Dieppe after a channel-fcrossing?
Dieppe! The very fishingboat-clogged basin exudes charm and
wonder, and the sense that one is in a town whose cobble-stones
and green, hanging hills once, so recently, reverberated with the
bloody clash of ignorant armies. Old Fort York, near Toronto's
waterfront, arouses no such echo of history in my veins. And from
Dieppe’s cliff-hloistered streets, there come the cries of all those
porters in blue denims; over shop-windows gleam those blessedly
French words, “Charcuterie” or “Boulangerie”, so more satisfying
than “Butcher” or “Bakery”.
Indeed, a visitor’s reactions to Canada might almost be entirely
negative. I can see that the Englishman might be struck by the
absence of narrow lanes and byways, castles and cathedrals and
historic cities; a Frenchman by the shutterless windows; almost
any European by the impossibility of finding a table in the sun at
which to sip a glass of red wine. All Europeans will be startled by
