Canada's Split Personality
THE Australian -- he was a professor of International Law -- said he was sorry for us Canadians. "You are so busy," he said, "proving to the English that you are not Yankees, and proving to the Yankees that you are not English, you have no time to be yourselves at all." Since he had just come from an Institute of Pacific Relations conference, it was easy to understand the Australian's sorrow. He went on to speak of the Statute of Westminster.
