Send ‘em to Peking \\@— ODAY’S COLUMN is a pot-pourri. And no rude remarks, please. Did vou see where the pols are falling over their silly faces trying to. re-write history in the Chinese head- tax .thing? That's right. We've got some beauts. Champions in the art of crawling. And our neighbor to the East, dear old Margaret Mitchell of the NDP, leads the pack. What we gotta do, according to her and her loony comrades-in- arms, Is to repay the $500 it cost some of the Chinese to get into this country 60 years ago. The appropriately-named Daniel Heap expounded on this subject the other day, making a surmng denuncia- tion of “‘the wrongs we British and French have done in Canada.’* He's the so- called immigration critic for the NDP. Which ts a real laugh, because there's no such thing as an immigration critic in Ottawa. All we have is guys yelling tor more vasmmins (which, as fooin- structed vou recently. means visible minorities Snap that Mountie!

Thus David Crom- bie, a Red Tory, comes out in favor of an all-party resolu- tion that would have the na- tion do some official grovell- ing over what our. evil ancestors did to the Chinese. Any day now there will be an all-party resolution sincerely regretting the dirty trick that Wolfe played on Montcalm on the heights of Quebec Those who want their $500 back should take the money and re-emiprate. A deal, after all, 19 a deal. And they should take Heap, Mitchel! and Crombie with them Thev’'d probably be very happy in Peking , 1 see where Mr. Roy Gauuer, he of the building trades, was complaining in this here newspaper about Coéllins’ ‘tinaccuracies, misleading observations and misquotations’’. Only thing is, he didn’t specify what they were. Isn't Ww true that featherbedding building trades is what [ said it was? If it isn’t, give us the details, Roy boy. ka kw An anonymous reader has sent me what looks like an ex- tract from an Indian Affairs Ministry bulletin. lt has to do with our old friends from the First Nations, who want to duck out of paying such taxes as they pay now, which ain't many. Here’s how tt reads: “bt has recently come to Our attention that an organization known as the National Indian Brotherhood. Assembly of First Nations, whose address is in Ottawa, Ontario, are solictting Native Indian bands in British Columbia to order(for the price of $2.00)a lax exemption card. The completed card has a picture ot the applicant on it and states that he or she qualities for exemption from sales tan. The card quotes Section 87 pt the Indian Act as an authori- ty for the exemption and is aimed at exemption of both the federal and provincial sales taxes.”’ That’s enough pot-pourr: for. now. is paying off.
