@ get this straight ®

BEING AWAY from the news mill for a couple of weeks
has its advantages. When a fellow gets back, he sees there
are still as many laughs as ever. Especially when Joe Dope

Clark is in town.

Joe was here last week being
discreet about that expensive
icebreaker the Tories are going to
build some day. Perhaps on the
North Shore. Perhaps not. Pro-
bably not.

In the fuzzification department,
Joe has learned a lot from Brian
Baloney, the guy who stole his
job. Thus he did a lot of mumbt-
ing about deficits. Staggering
deficits, as he put it. And how
there’s not much money around.

It’s not only the deficit that's
staggering, if you ask me. If the

polls are anything to go by, Joe
and his phoney fellow Tories are
staggering. But | digress.

lt could be that this $450
million icebreaker and alleged
sovereignty-asserter for the Arctic
should never be built. Why are we
so worried about sovereignty in
the Arctic when we are inviting
the world to invade our snores via
Newfoundland and every airport?
Makes no sense.

The feds are not short of money
for the things on which they want
to spend money. They are not

short of money for new jails in
Brian's constiiuency. They are
still shovelling money into
Quebec, and in the naval ship-
building line they are not short of
money for building destroyers,
etc. down East.

What our local politicians
should be asking for is seme
foreign aid, we being seen in Ot-
tawa as foreigners anyway. Isn't
Baloney more foreign to us than
he is to Paris, London and New
York, to which he’s always flipp-
ing off at great expense to
everyone but himself?

Ottawa threw away $2.1 billion
on foreign aid last year, and our
MP Mary Collins, who is good at

9 - Friday, August 29, 1986 - North Shore News

panv, for what reason | cannot
say, even boasted about it in her
recent brilliant newsletter. The
headline was ‘‘Canada_ Par-
ticipates in| Humanitarian Ac-
tion’. Well, it would be nice if
Canada participated in some such
action around here.

Consider: you could build 4.6
icebreakers on the North Shore
for one year's foreign aid money,
and that would be a damned sight
better than giving handouts to
Collins's favorite thugs, who now
own Ethiopia. It would also be
better than helping Fidel Castro to
upgrade Havana airport, better
than offering $350 million in
interest-free loans to China, and
better than financing the commie
takeover of Africa, which we are
also doing.

Short of money, are we? Then
why, in 1985, did we supply the
women’s movement with $13
million, most of which goes to
promote lesbianism, socialism,
abortion on demand, and lots of
other daft things?

And why do we pay for French
language radio and TV stations
that nobody listens to?

Last year I reported that the

tion in Vancouver has a prime-
time audience of 500 (yes, five
hundred) while the French-
language radio station has a top
audience of 300. Radio Canada +
Vancouver staff, meanwhile,
numbered 58.

Add up the cost of all the
French-waste stations in English
Canada and !’m sure there’d be
enough dough to build at least one
more icebreaker.

Have a go, Joe.

1 see too that the United Church is
bent on ‘‘reversing the male
domination of the Christian
religion’’.

Words like Man, Father, King,
He and Master are out. Creator
and Father-Mother are in.

Our Father-Mother, which art
in heaven...?

And what about the disciples,
who were all men, Can they at this
late date be clad in the sacred
garments of unisex? Not only
that, but how about Anne Squire,
the church’s new moderator?

Is she going to change her
name?

What's unisex for squire?

GOOD IDEAS WIN

Gibson, the 41-year-old presi-
dent of Newport Marketing and
Communications, believes you can
have a good idea, no money and
minimal business experience and
still succeed, but if you have a
poor idea, lots of money and expe-
rience, there is a very good chance
you won't make it.

He claims there are over 50
techniques a person can use for
opportunity searching.

The Sept. 9 program, which is
expected to draw about 700 pco-
ple, will prove to be beneficial to
present business owners, corporate
executives, investors, inventors,
managers, bankers, educators,
business resource personnel — lit-
erally anyone interested in the vast
opportunities of business owner-
ship.

The free of charge evening,
sponsored by the North Shore
News and the B.C. Ministry of
Economic Development, will be
filmed by a professional television
crew for future broadcast and
training use.
