First edition (publ. BMG Publishing)
Bilingual Today, French Tomorrow: Trudeau's Master Plan and How it Can be Stopped was a controversial 1977 book by Jock V. Andrew, a retired Canadian naval officer.[1] It alleged that the prime minister Pierre Trudeau's policy of official bilingualism was a plot to make Canada a unilingually francophone country, by instituting reverse discrimination against Anglophone Canadians.
The book inspired the formation of the lobby group Alliance for the Preservation of English in Canada.
The book's main prediction, that Canada would eventually develop into a unilingual French nation, did not come true.
