‘‘visible minorities, call get this straight by Doug Collins Maybe white Canadians should think of emigrating FEW WEEKS AGO we mused here over >> or vismins, as I shall them. A parliamentary committee peopled by weak-minded MPs of all parties had recommended, you may remember, that a vigorous ‘‘affirmative action’’ program be set up. Such a program would in- volve reverse discrimination and force government departments and _ private employers to hire’ Third World immigrants. The committee’s report 1s called ‘‘Equality Now."’ | have obtained a copy, and what 1! wrote about it previously didn't do ut justice. It reads as if it had been written by a bunch of hippies from the 1960s, and should have been named ‘‘Inequality Now’’. [fits _terms are implemented, you will see some real racism in this country, because it is an anti-majority racist tract composed by politicians who lust for vismin votes. ANY OTHER PLACE The federal civil service, it is. proposed, should © start discriminating reversely right away, as should all crown corporations. After five years, if the private sector Admiral hasn't capitulated, legislation should be passed that forces companies to follow the federal example. In the meantime, federal contracts should go only to those employers who suck up to Ottawa by toeing the vismin hiring line. The pro- gram would apply also to the contractors themselves. In other words, a share of government business should go to sub-contractors who are from India, China, Hong Kong or any other place, pro- vided it isn't Canada. You don’t believe me? Kindly consult Page 40. No avenue of public lite escapes the scrutiny of this demented committee. Federal boards and commissions should have their quota of vismins — a neat way of put- ung them in control of the natives. The media are also to go on a big vismin hiring kick, the buzzword here be- ing ‘‘cross-cultural com. Ma*> Kort at Y. FRANKS, your Ss VIP store!

The committee sees adver- lisers as big sinners for not showing enough vismins in their advertising. But it is ex- plained that they can soon be brought to heel on account of the feds being the biggest dispensers of advertising bucks. Press councils, it 1s stated, could look after any ‘‘racist reporting’’, meaning critical material of the sort you are reading now, and there should be a national search for ‘‘systemic discrimina- tion.’’ That means that short cops are to be preferred to tall cops, especially if they are non-white. SNOOPING BOOM All this will be made effec- tive by a full-blown Ministry of Multiculturalism armed with ‘‘comphance legisla- tion’’ and lots of tax money. **Inequality Now”’ ts, indeed, full of suggestions for fun- ding, including the funding of a multicult version of Media Watch.

Dear Editor: A salute to The News for publishing Doug Collins’ colorful, trenchant commentaries! Often his witty exaggera- uons enrage our growing kook choruses (a carolhing of Trudeauism?). The violence of his targets’ screams attest to the accuracy and common sense of Collins’ shafts. Whether it be Radio etc. Commission, Aboriginals, Human Rightswomen, Rentalsman, Japanese or you name it, Collins puts the cases in rational, updated terms with lovely clarity. And the special pleaders yell Heresy, Racism, Censor him! ‘ But what do these Nazis say to hts reply ‘‘no special treatment for anyone -- so who's racist?”’ Donald Cromie Vancouver the Lord’s Day Act, Sunday not being anything special for sO many of our vismins. Any religious observance, they say, should be ‘‘consistent with Canada’s multi-religious character .”’ The country might stand a chance if there were an Op- position. But the two Tories on this committee kissed the Liberals’ backsides Mulroney will do the same. Perhaps you can emigrate. Perhaps they are crazy about white vigmins in China, India and the West Indies.
