Don Macdonald West Vancouver - Dou Collins on the other hand He’s the warrior who killed three people and wounded 13 others when he marched into the Quebec legislature spray- _ ing lead around. He was already having a nice time in a half-way house. But that inconve- nience has been removed. He has now been given full parole. Yet there is no outcry. Not to worry, though. He will be watched for the rest of his life. Or so they say. My guess is that someone will probably pul up a statue to him or make him a sena- tor. Louis Riel the Metis “warrior” has a statue.

Here’s another headline that caught my fancy. “Bloc helps Olson seek arole.” That's Clifford Olson, the mass killer who is in jail studying for a law degree. And bitching to his guards. (Sorry, that should read “cor- rection officers.”) When 25 years in the clink was substituted for the death penalty hardly anyone paid any attention to the bit that said parole could be applied for after 15 years. Come Aug. 12, Olson can apply. The Bloc MPs claim, nat- urally, that they don't support people like Clifford Olson.” Of course not. David Barlow got out on parole. All he did was to murder a police officer in Florida, kill a store owner in Fredericton, and escape twice from custody. But the shrinks said he was now a decent chap. Whereupon he commit- ted armed robbery and shot at an RCMP officer in Burnaby. Then there is the poor dear lady in Alberta who filled hubby full of holes. Bullet holes.

Over in Saskatchewan they are trying to unload 1,000 wooden penises that were to have been used to teach Grade 9 students how ta use condoms. But the teachers were not in favor of that method of instruction. These provincials! The penises ure said to be worth $3,000, and have been put on sale. There are few buyers. So the Tory education critic sug- gested that they be given to the provincial parks for a big weenie roast, In the ULS., Janet Cc oke, was fired from the Washington Post after she got a Pulitzer Prize for fak- ing a Sob story on 4 poor lit- tle black heroin addict who didn’t exist.
