Recent events in Canada point to the formation of a new and, it seems at first blush, curious political alliance between the Social Credit movement of Alberta, with its marked overtones of Protestant fundamentalism, and dissident elements among the French Canadian Catholics of the Province of Quebec. Curiously enough, anti-Semitism is one of the issues upon which this incipient alliance seems to be based. Before this year the, Jews of Canada never thought that their detractors in Quebec might possibly form a common front with the fanatical movement that had its rise in the cattle country of the West.
