YOUR SERVANT attended a CBC Forum the other night
on the Asian Invasion, and it was a fine example of our
tax-supported Temple of the Left in action. A couple of
dissident voices were heard, including mine, but for the
most part the program was stacked higher than a haystack.

Presiding was Mr. ian Mil-
quetoast Mulgrew, a former Globe
& Mail staffer. Which should tell
you everything, the Globe being
the organ of the Wimp Generation
and devoted to multicuit, refugees,
affirmative action, bilingualism
and all things close to the dumb
liberal heart.

Milquetoast even went so far as
to ask whether we were not in
danger of losing the opportunity
that Hong Kong offers.

To say that the ‘‘panel’’ was
loaded would be an understate-
ment. Herc it is, ladies and
gentlemen:

Vancouver's Yuppie-in-Chief,
Gordon Campbell, favors
unrestricted Hong Kong invest-
ment and he’s sorry if some people
have to lose their homes, etc. (He
also doesn’t like raucous voices
like mine.)

Campbell is out for the Asiatic
vote and hopes, no doubt, that he
will get lots of Chinese dough
come the next election. As far as
standing up for Caucasian Van-
couver is concerned (or what's left
of it!) you can forget His Worship.
He's also too stunned to com-
prehend what is going on.

As I told him, his motto should

be “We Surrender.”"

Men to him was Andrea Eng,
who has made a pile flogging Van-
couver to Hong Kong and would
like to make another pile. Sharp
cookie, and one who believes she
hasn’t been given enough credit for
the great work she's done here.
“We have a lot to Jearn from
Hong Kong,”' she told us.

Sure. Like how to build those
crumbling, filthy ant-nests of
apartment blocks you see on the
way to the Hong Kong airport.
And how to bugger up the en-
vironment even more than we do.

Next to her was Mr. B. Fung of
Cathay TV, and it requires no
imagination to decide whose side
he was on. His big message was
that ‘‘it is wrong to equate our
housing problems with immigra-
tion and investment.’’ Of course.
It's all the Albertans” fault.

Next to him was former Mayor
Jack Votrich, who has been known
to say he’s in favor of more Euro-
pean immigration. He forgot to
say it that night, though. Instead,
he talked out of both sides of his
mouth —- a wise move, perhaps,
seeing that the Chinese were the

majority in the audience. (They are
racially conscious, and turn out to
support their own.)

Volrich did say, though, that we
had a right to discuss this situa-
tion. His intestinal fortitude went
no further, however.

Next on the list of intrepid rep-
resentatives was the NDP housing
critic, Mr. James Karpoff. He is
all in favor of the Asian invasion
too, except that he seems to be
against Asiatic corporations.
Maybe he hasn't got Mike Har-
court's pro-business message yet.
Also, he would like to see us pro-
vide affordable housing for im-
migrants. (After our own folk have
been tossed out, perhaps?)

The Canadian mosaic is great,
he said. I nearly expectorated at
hearing him voice that cliche, and
told the crowd, Karpoff and Mil-
quetoast that the Canadian mosaic
could go to hell. Milquetoast cut
me off as soon as possible, such
blasphemy not being on his agen-
da. But not before I had velled out
that I didn't want Vancouver to be
another Hong Kong, Singapore or
Tokyo, which is what Pat Carney
and itk want it to be.

Last, and definitely least, there
was Marina Navin from the Van-
couver Schoo! Board, which also
worships multicult. ‘‘The children
are our hope,’” she said. Perhaps
she meant that the now-minority
white kids are being brainwashed
to forget their ethnic heritage.

On and off, we were shown clips
of people telling us what is good
for us. Lt. Gov. See-Chai Lam, for
instance, was seen saying we were
on the brink of a great era. Sure.

it was the CBC in action, all
right. | expected Mitquetoast to
tush up and kiss Eng. As it was, he
said he was appalicd at some of the
things he had heard that night,
meaning my short outburst. Well,
he ain’t the only one who was ap-
palled. The CBC doesn't even
know how to organize a panel.
And doesn’t want to know.

The program was to be broad-
cast as performed. It was so
slanted, however, that someone
seems to have told them to tape 2
couple of ‘‘inserts’’ as a screen
against this kind of criticism.

Our situation is easily sum-
marized. We are a nation ripe for
plucking. And we are being pluck-
ed. Milquetoast wins @
