The controversy: was -not-in. itself surprising ‘or ‘alarming. What was alarming is that prac-: tically everybody who-got into the argument forgot the real basis: of . the argument and started | calling names.’:The question ‘wasn’t -:whether royal. tours stood -in‘need .«f improving, condensing - or abolishing. as Canadian commoners, toward each | othe, It, was whether anyone who said so could possibly be anythin better than a disloyal and in'some cases money- grubbing sensation-seeker; whether anyone who . said the ,opposite could. possibly. be anything - but a stuffed shirt or common Blimp. The question wasn't whether Canadians were “In- different” to royal tours but whether the person who said so on the air should be fired. Sud- denly thousands of ordinarily tolerant people were on a sort iof pre-Voltaire bender: I may not agree with what you say and, by henven, {f I don’t I'll have your hide. Many of the vigilantes were so furious that their aim was impaired. ~ There is nothing in Canada's constitution ‘beings that compels all good Canadians to : think allke on any ‘subject, Including the mon- archy. and royal visits.
