We soe 22, 1994 - North Shore News - 7 Liberals’ turn to ruin the country Doug Collins ON THE OTHER HAND YET ANOTHER huge confi- dence trick is being played on this country. Immigration Minister Sergio Marchi is “consulting Canadinns” on immigration. Hide the silver spoons! We've been “consulted” more times than I have fingers. And nothing has made the slightest difference. Marchi & Co. march on. Let us count some of the ways. There was the Green Paper farce of the 1970s in which the Liberals “consulted” us for nearly a year. Hundreds of anti-immigration sub- missions were made. All were deep-sixed. Also in those years, citizenship requirements were reduced from five years to three. Send in three box-tops. And welcome to Canada. With the exception of the Meech Lake referendum, in which it got a bloody nose, Ottawa has always consulted itself, not us. And the Liberals have always been the biggest offenders, although the Tories ran them a close second, The Liberals consulted them- .selves when they abandoned selec- 1457 Lonsdale Ave., N.

They consulted themselves when they sanctified multicult and began giving millions in grants — bribes, that is ~~ to the ethnic groups. Inthe early 1970s they consult- ed themselves after their open-bor- der policies resulted in tens of dhou- sands of illegal immigrants roaming the country. They then set up their idiotic “Make our coun: try your coun- try” program.

Brian Baloney & Co. promised to stop such traftic. But their mea- sures were so effective that in no time at all the number of bogus tefugees increased fivefold, a scam supported by the Liberals and NDP. Did | mention the Green Paper hoax? The final report to Parliament recommended that the numbers of family reunification folk be reduced. They were being given undeserved advantages, it said. Result: even more were admit- ted. Later, in 1978, the Liberals almost wiped out the skilled immi- grant flow in favor of allowing in 66 With the exception of the Meech Lake referendum, inwhich ty. it gota bloody nose, Ottawa has always consulted itself, not us, 99 more “reuniheations.” Today. halt of the immigration total is made up of tehitives from the Third World.

Two years ago it was the ‘Tories’ turn to consult themselves again, With an eye on the ethnic vote they increased the immigrant imuke to it quarter OF a million a year for five years. Don't forget to cheer, along with the main- streany media. More recently, Marchi consult- ed himself alter consulting the refugee indus- So he is allowing 10,000 “refugee” cases lo be re-heard that failed to get through the loasest screen- ing system in the world, He calls it the “post-claim risk assessment process.” Try not to laugh, [tis probably our 45th amnesty. Even apart [ron thaG, the Refugee Board has announced happily that the number of claims — mainly from Sri Lanka and Somalia — is up 53%. Make no mistake: the Liberals’ immigration script is already writ- ten. They consulted themselves on it long ago. Among other things they plan to “streamline” the Citizenship Act so as to make it “more relevant ... to the Canada of today.” Translation: send in only TWO boxtops. Marchi will consult, all right. He will consull agademies whe mike money fron Otawa on the side as “consuliants; atso ethnie grobpa who will tel him they need more of their kind in more quickly. But he won't consult any crities. And if'a few doa bit of shouting they will be ignored, as always. Why this “consultation?” Because the natives are restless, And because the Reform party is naking immigration an issue, Before the last election, there was a parliamentary conspiracy of KEN BAXTER LAWYER 2d Yeurs fa perence silence und but for Reform there sti would be. After going through the motions and engineering the right cesulls, though, Marchi can pretend he has “asked the people.” The Liberals are intent on destroying English Canada. Or haven't you noticed? The only thing they might understand would be the fate that hit the Tories. But they have four Nore years to take their nation-ral- ting program irreversible, And Marchi is doing his Liberal duty. “LONSDALE QUAY NORTH VANCOUVER 988-6321 & SON CUSTOM BEDSPREADS, TRACKS AND VALANCES Labour $8.50 per panel unlined, $9.50 lined.
