IT IS usual on this day to wish everyone a Happy New
Year. But it would be wrong to do so because there are
people who do not deserve warm thoughts, the rofters. So I
herewith wish an Unhappy New Year to:

All those liars, cheats, scoun-
drels and crooks who got into
Canada in 1988 in the guise of be-
ing refugees — and to the polit!-
cians, parsons and other fools who
encouraged them. :

To those MPs (meaning nearly
all of them) who don’t give a hoot
what happens to this country as
long as they are re-elected. Im-
migration Minister Barbara
McDougall is high on this list, as is
the Great Baloney himself.

To the language fascists of
Quebec, who have proved once
again thai generosity misplaced is
generosity lost.

To Joe Clark, who still manages
to pretend that South Africa is a
threat to the Western World, and
worse than the dictatorships that
surround it.

T. the geniuses
who run B.C. Transit
Sor deciding to
transfer the North
Vancouver bus depot
to Burnaby.’’

Peper same ek

To Svend Robinson, whose am-
bition it is to make the world safe
for sodomites. ~*~

To John Turner and Ed Broad-
bent, the Bobbsey Twins of hypoc-

sy.

To Preston Manning, leader of
the Reform Party, who does not
have the courage to grasp the right
nettles.

To Victor Li and his old man Li
Ka-shing, who believe that Van-
couverites don't need to know
what is being sold in their city.

To Abraham Waissbiuth, the
Chilean refugee. who believes
Canada owes him a living and that
under the Charter of Rights he
chould get the Old Age Pension
even though he has not been here
long enough to qualify for it.

To the Great Baloney again, for
giving 300 million of our bucks to
Japanese Canadians, ostensibly to
compensate them for being intern-
ed but actually to buy a few more
votes.

To the two Jews employed by
Public Works Canada who com-
plained that the displaying of the
Cross on Remembrance Day was
unfair to them and their faith; a
boo, too, to the twerps in the

Department of Veterans Affairs
who went along with that
outrageous plaint.

To those who believe it is a sign
of greatness that the Canadian
Armed Forces and the RCMP
should be staffed with girls and
friends of Svend.

To the progenitors, whoever
they may be, of the Twin Towers
project at 320 Taylor Way.

To the Canadian Radio-television
and Telecommunications Commis-
sion (CRTC) which is still pushing
plans to keep honest discussion
away from the air-waves.

To those upstanding citizens of
North Vancouver City Council for
saying nasty things about one of
the most pleasant fellows who ever
breathed (modesty prevents me.
from mentioning his name).

To the Great Slam, a.k.a.
Vander Zalm, for selling the Expo
site to Li Ka-shing when he could
have sold the thing to his pal Toigo
or better still given it to me on the
understanding that the profits
would be used to keep phoney ref-
ugess out of the country in the in-
terests of international harmony.

To the politicians of Ontario
who agreed that Ernst Zundel
should be taken to court again for
having spread ‘‘false news’? —
something they themselves do
every day.

To the major media, who
cravenly drew a curtain over that
trial at the behest of pressure
groups; and for denying that they
had done any such thing.

To the United Church of
Canada for encouraging sodomy
and its attendant ills by saying it is
all right for pansies to be ordained
as parsons.

To the geniuses who run B.C,
Transit for deciding to transfer the
North Vancouver bus depot to
Burnaby.

To Pat Carney, who, happily,
has now retired from politics; for
saying that Vancouver should go
big-time like Hong Kong,
Singapore and Tokyo, complete
with street signs in Asiatic fan-

guages.

To those fools in Ottawa who
keep pouring our dough down the
foreign aid drain — $2.5 billion in
1988 — when we ourselves are
broke.

Do not think that your ever-
cheerful correspondent is a lost
cause, though, for he wishes
everyone else (well, nearly
everyone else) a Very Happy New
Year indeed! @

VANDALISM, THEFT from
autos and alcohol and drug use by
teens have prompted North Van-
couver City Council to approve
$11,000 towards the cost of pro-
viding a youth streetworker in the
central Lonsdale area.

““You have to) make a connec-
tion with kids on their own turf,”’
said Don Rutherford, the executive
director of the North Shore
Neighbourhood House. ‘‘These are
not the types of kids that will go to
an office.’’

But Rutherford says they are
still short about $22,000 for the
position.

“T am told there is nothing fed-
erally and provincially,’’ he said,
adding that federal funds have
been committed to other projects
to the year 1990.

With or without more funding,
the streetworker position will go

ahead, even at one third time, ac-
cording to Rutherford.

‘(Although) that’s not enough
to be terribly effective,’’ he said.

A report released by city social
planner Jill! Davidson states that
the city ‘‘recognizes the problems
with disaffected youths in the cen-
tral Lonsdale area,’’ and stresses
the need for community support.

The report says city staff will ar-
range a meeting with property
owners, residents, and businesses
who have raised concerns about
teens in central Lonsdale.

Rutherford said it’s important
the merchants don’t see the street-
worker as part of the problem. He
said the streetworker will rely on
the support of the merchants and
the network of other North Shore
youth streetworkers in dealing with
the teens.
