DESCRIPTION:Tuesday\, January 25\, 4 p.m. ET via Zoom.\n\nRegister here.\n
 \nJoin us for a discussion with editor Graham Fraser\, former Commissioner
  of Official Languages\, about his new book The Fate of Canada: F. R. Scot
 t's Journal of the Royal Commission on Bilingualism and Biculturalism\, 19
 63–1971.\n	\n	From 1963 until 1971\, a group of distinguished Canadians wres
 tled with the language conflict that ran the risk of tearing the country a
 part. Among their ranks\, F.R. Scott – a poet\, intellectual\, constitutio
 nal expert\, human rights activist\, and law professor – kept diaries that
  recounted the meetings of one of Canada’s most significant royal commissi
 ons.\n	\n	The Fate of Canada introduces readers to Scott’s biography\, puts 
 his diary entries into the political context of the time\, and identifies 
 the people he met and the places he visited during the hearings of the Roy
 al Commission on Bilingualism and Biculturalism. Scott’s journal entries r
 ecording the earliest meetings convey optimism for a bilingual Canada. As 
 the years pass\, however\, he becomes increasingly concerned that bilingua
 lism is in danger\, and Quebec’s English community threatened. His remarks
  convey a sense of humour and mutual respect amongst the commissioners des
 pite the tensions over language within the group – and across the country.
 \n	\n	Never before published\, these diaries provide remarkable insight into
  the inner life of one of twentieth-century Canada’s most significant inte
 llectuals\, and a royal commission that shaped the nation’s language polic
 y for decades to come.\n	\n	The webinar discussion will be moderated by MISC
  director Daniel Béland and will be followed by an audience Q&A.\n\nTo pur
