TOOTLING ALONG in the car the other day, 1 heard cries
of despair seeping from the radio. It was that national bore
Peter Gzowski, lamenting that the country is about to col-
lapse on account of those devils in Sault Ste. Marie and
other places not wanting bilingualism.

Don't get me wrong. I do not
spend my time listening to
Gzowski. To do so is to induce
sleep, and it is dangerous to doze
while driving. The police might
think you were drunk. But this
time the Dial God switched me in
to him,

Thank you, Dial God. The bore
gave me belly laughs galore. He
was really down in the dumps over
English Canada’s wanting to be
itself, and asked that hypocrite
John Crosbie, a good man gone
wrong, what in the world was
happening to this country.

Crosbie said things were bad.
The word “‘bigotry’’ was heard in
the land. ‘‘Prejudice,”’ tco. I
laughed and laughed as the
luckless pair wrung their hands
and sobbed.

Gzowski is a founding member
of the trendies, of course, and
therefore preaches against the in-
terests of English Canada.

Crosbie, meanwhile, has become

a lickspitte. During the Tory lead- *

ership race he got up the courage
to say that no, he didn’t speak
French and he didn’t speak
Chinese, either. And so what?

For a fleeting moment, English
Canada was able to cheer. But
soon the Newfie was on his knees
asking for forgiveness, and
everything went back to normal —
meaning that we touch our
forelocks to Quebec.

In Ontario, for example, the
sell-out socialist premier, David
Peterson (who masquerades as a
Liberal), is sucking up to the small
French vote by introducing official
bilingualism through the back
door.

Alas for him! The peasants are
in revolt, the movement being led
by a splendid group of citizens
calling themselves the Alliance for
the Preservation of English in
Canada (APEC).

APEC says that 28
municipalities have declared
themselves to be unilingual, and
that more will follow.

Peterson, Crosbie and Gzowski
are uncompromisingly idiotic. So
is the whole liberal ratpack. In the
Professors’ Paper (aka the Globe
& Mail) Jeffrey Simpson sobs with
unswerving gusto. ‘‘If Canada
dies,’” he declared the other day,

“the name of Sault Ste. Marie
should be chiselled on the grave-
stone.”*

Michael Valpy, his left-wing PP
colleague, takes sider with Francos
who talk about ‘‘the open road to
racism.** Socialist Stephen Lewis,
a great CBC favorite, goes to
Saskatchewan to lecture the natives

n “racism’’ and ‘‘the profound
damage that is being done to the
fabric of Canada.”’

Do my eyes and ears deceive
me? Are these nitwits living in the
same country as | am? Yes, unfor-
tunately. But as far as our trendies
are concerned English Canada is
the Great Satan, much as the U.S.
is to the followers of the late
Ayatollah Khomeini. English
Canada is always ‘‘racist,’” you
see. French Canada is always pure.

But wait. Hasn’t the whole of
Quebec opted to be unilingual-
French? Haven't the language
fascists in Quebec denied Anglo
merchants the right to display
English signs outside their stores?
Didn’t the goverment of Quebec
rule that English signs are to be
shown inside the stores only, thus
creating a unique inside-outside
democracy? Haven’t Canadian
flags been burned in Quebec in
protest against any kind of com-
promise on the language issue?

Where were the Simple Simon
Simpsons, Crosbies, Gzowskis,
Lewises and Valpys then? If they
have ever had anything to say
about Quebec’s raging racism, I
must have been out of town. Oh,
there may have been passing refer-
ences to such naughtiness. but
nothing in the nature of what they
are peddling now.

Simpson refers to Quebec’s lan-
guage laws as being ‘‘deeply
regrettable.’* Take that, mes amis!
And Valpy loves English Canada
so much that last year he waxed
happy over the fact that Hong
Kong now occupies his old school
in Vancouver.

Those people stand on guard, all
right. But not for us. And they
have forgotten that though they
may beaver away at unwanted
changes, they and the social
engineers are up against the in-
stincts of a people.
