8 - Friday, November 22, 1985 - North Shore News With these Conservatives, we don't need Liberals. + Headline in Alberta Report magazine. ARE YOU in favor of giving lunatics the vote, of giving non-citizens jobs in the civil service, of diminishing Christian holidays because they “discriminate’’ against the Rastas, etc? Do you want to give unemployment insurance pregnancy payments to men? Mary Collins, the peo- ple’s tribune for Capilano is in favor of these things and many more like them, she being one of the authors of the parliamentary commit- tee report called Equality For All. If its recommendations become law, it means the admission to the RCMP and armed forces of homosexuals. Which leads Ted Byfield of Alberta Report to ask, what are the Conservatives conserving? And will there soon be no moral difference between sleeping with your wife or with your Russian Wolfhound? As explained here on | Wednesday, Equality For All also means that employers will be pushed into hiring minorities, women, and anyonc else the politicians are sucking up to at a given moment. All in the name of ‘employment equity,’’ and to hell with choice and merit. Let us now take a peek at some other items in this dip- py .document, the mainstream media having been either too lazy or too stupid to give you much on it. And by the way, you won't find any of it in Mary Collins’s recent report to constituents, cither. It is not enough for this Tory-dominated all-party committee that women elec- Jting to have babies get uneniployment insurance benefits for 15 weeks. They want such benefits to be available to men, too, even though no one has yet in- vented a way for men to give birth. And never mind that such payments have nothing to do with unemployment. **Equality’’ is the big thing. *... U Collins & Co. get their way, people will be able to apply for such jobs as soon as they’ve stepped off the plane from Calcutta or Hong Kong.”’ Should a person living common-law be entitled to the same spousal tax deduc- tions as one who is legally married? Yes, says this committee. Also, Canada Pension Plan spouses’ payments should be given “without reference to fami- ly status’’. Legal marriage, obvious- ly, is just another old- fashioned and unnecessary custom. But the committee doesn’t come right out and say so. As you might expect, the report is a multicult maniac’s delight. To make room for the new realities, Whitey must move over from everything except the john. “Legal marriage, obviously, is just another old- fashioned and unnecessary custom. But. the comrnittee doesn’t come right out and say | so.’ Even Christmas may not be safe, because these equality experts believe that Christian ‘‘days of rest’’ like Sunday discriminate against minorities. Oh well, I recall that human ‘rights guru Israel Ludwig was call- ing for just that sort of thing a couple of years ago. And we all laughed. Does citizenship mean anything? It shouldn’t. Not according to this commit- tee. Right now, for exam- ple, citizens get first chance for civil service jobs, other things being equal. But if Collins & Co. get their way, people will be able to apply for such jobs as soon as they've stepped off the plane from Calcutta or Hong Kong. “We believe this (prefer- ment for citizens) represents a form of discrimination,” states without laughing. So the jobs should be open to anyone who says he’s a per- manent resident. about the sexist language. Collins & Co. think that should be outlawed, too, on | account of how the all- inclusive ‘‘he’’ is not liked by the Wednesday Morning Group of Carmen, Man. and the Winnipeg YWCA. And Pm not making this up. Honestly.) Question: if giving preferment to citizens ap- plying for civil service jobs is discrimination, why isn’t the favoring of minorities, ete., also discrimination? Answer: because the Baloney-Turner-Broadbent coalition says it ain’t. Did I mention lunatics? Ah oyes. The ‘tmentally disabled’? should get the vole, says the report. Some would say that many of them have the vote already, and that some of them are sitting in parliament. the committee | (Sorry | ‘Mian hurt in explosion Picture Frames at Factory prices at guadrant lai (rames ltd Mon.-Sat. 10 AM-G PM 1464 Dominion St. N.
