>» Making History. Saturday,
a 24 Venue: Performance

Vorks, 12:30-2 p.m. Cost:
S10 Speakers — Pierre Berton
and Peter C. Newman.

Intellectual Sumo; a polite
combat of giants. Not the
Holviteld/Tyson fight, since
they’re both on the same side,
but any meeting between che
two heavyweight champs of
Canadian popular history is a
historical event in itself.
Between them, these two men
have done more to illuminate
the hearts and minds of
Canadians, to inspire and pre-
serve the sense of what it
means to be a Canadian, than
the two major poiitical parties
in this country have done in
fifty years. If we put all our
politicians in re-education
camps and just had Pierre and
Peter run against each other
for the position of President-
for- Life, we'd be better off, as
long as the loser took the one
Cabinet job as VP.

Mr. Newman once
spanked me publicly in his
column in MacLean’s tora
iine ina book review in which
1 described Canada as “this
skidniark aleng the 49ch
Parallel we call a country.” I
was proud that here was a
man who didn’t miss any-
thing, who saw this obscure
off-hand, smart-arse remark in
print and would bring his
own considerable power and
position to bear to assure that
it did not pass unchallenged.
Being chastised by Peter
Newman is somehow more
flattering than being praised
by any critic in the country.
Find out why thar is. Not to
be missed.

> Crossing the Border.
Vednesday Oct 21. Venue:
Arts Club Granville Island
Theatre.1-2:30 p.m. Cost:

charge. Speakers: Ven
Begamudre, Sharon Burala, °
Greg Hollingshead. Hosted
by Bill New.

If vou're planning on tak-
ing in the above, Making
History, this cond be an
opening act that upstages the
main event. The topic is
“Borderlands: How We ‘Tal,
About Canada”, (the tide of
UBC English Prof. and hast
Bill New’s book just out trom
UBC Press) and includes the
tossing of such hot potatacs
as separatism, multiculturalism
and the influence of the US
The big difference here is that
the panelists are fiction writ-
ers, who usually cut to the
chase faster than historians. A
varied and interesting cast;
Greg Hollingshead writes
tough realistic fiction (get his
