Jewish Hospital
Language Feud

Montreal (JTA) — A flare-up over
the use of the French language at
a local hospital has thrown into
sharp relief a bitter ongoing bat-
tle about the future of Quebec.
The battle was left unresolved
in October, when separatists nar-
rowly lost a referendum to deter-
mine whether Quebec would
remain a part of Canada.
Both before and after the ref-
erendum, the separatists, mostly
French speakers, have left Jews
and other ethnic groups in Que-
bec with the feeling that they are
unwelcome.
The latest flare-up was sparked
by an incident in July at the Sir
Mortimer B. Davis Jewish Gen-
eral Hospital here.
A patient, Normand Lester,
who is a television journalist for
the French-language component
of the CBC, Radio Canada, com-
plained that nurse Paula
Matthews refused to address him
in French, even though he had
previously been speaking with her
in English.
The nurse purportedly told him,
"You know how to speak English.
You spoke English before. This is
an English hospital."
The flap became front-page
news in the local French media,
editorialists on both the English
and French sides have written
profusely on the subject.
