Do you still think it might happen some day, LeftAlberta1968? I'm erasing your sentence; I'll pass on the temptation of replacing it with a comment about how ridiculous Andrew's thesis looks today.).

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.
