Doug Christie’s Free

Speech League makes

the George Orwell

Award to people who

have stood up for free-
. dom of speech.

Some years ago I received
one. The late Pat Burns was
also a recipient.

That’s why I went toa
seminar preceding this year’s
ceremony. I expected thar the
usual left-wing, freaks would
be on parade to denounce the
affair, of course, and I was
nat disappointed.

The meeting was held in
the Victoria Public Library.
And standing outside with a
camera was Alan Dutton, the
state-subsidized “anti-racist.”
All in readiness, no doubt, for
that great day when the B.C.
Human Rights Council can
slap people into jail for being
politically incorrect.

Nothing surprising about
all that. What amazes,
though, is that the media
always fall for the nonsense
put out by this die-hard leftist
and his close friend David

Lethbridge, the communist
academic from Salmon Arn.

This occasion was pe dif
ferent. It warranted a front:
page, three column story in
the Victorian Times-Celonist
written by Susan Danard
under the headline “Anti-race
foes angry.”

Ifa newspaper wants to be
idiotic that’s its business. But
the juicy bit is thar Dutton
was complaining about how
the seminar was held ina
room at the public library,
which is financed by the tax-
payers. This even though he
is one of the biggest grant-
snatchers around,

Here is his statement, for
which he should get the
Nobel Prize for Hypocrisy.

“Tr really concerns me thar
taxpayers are subsidizing
meetings of this nature in
public facilities.” And he rant-
ed on about how the people
at the seminar were promot-
ing views that were racist and
that they oppose immigration
and multiculturalism.

If he can be for such
things, others can be against
them. Bun in fact immigzation
and multiculturalism were not
discussed, and Dutton had no
idea what was being promot:
ed, The seminar was by invi-
tation only.

Perhaps he’s clairvoyant.
in any event, he should be
the last to complain about
wrongs done to the taxpayer.

In the first place the room
was paid for. Secondly, in the
past couple of years he has
raked in about $750,000

Needless to say, he is
much loved by his friends in
the B.C. Human Rights

one doubts that he could
