What the Epps of this country
cannot get into their heads is that

cialists in blue suits, the Tories.

What excites me about them
today is their desire to beat the
NDP at its own game by spen-
ding billions on day care, it no
longer being fashionable to look
after one’s own kids, it seems.

What is this? Sweden?

plain that the tax credits Oltliawa
has in mind (for single mothers
and others who should have
known better than to have kids)
will benefit only the rich. Yack

Health and Welfare Minister

“Health and Welfare Minister Jake
Epp has the audacity to describe this
latest capitulation to the forces of the
Left as ‘a significant new social

initiative...’

“Get lost, Epp. You are Canada’s Sir

Stafford Cripps. ’’

The program will cost about
$5.4 billion over seven years,
which ain’t hay. But do not
believe it will stop there. Already,
the NDP in skirts, meaning the
tax-supported Status of Women
and-similar fem pressure groups,
is howling foul.

f They’re being robbed, they
“say. What we should spend is $11
{ billion, and then some, they say.
Gimme, gimme, gimme. And in
the end the politicians give,
because the parties vye with one
another to be sucked into the
black holes of socialism. (A study
by a Toronto University pro-
fessor, Jack Carr, puts the even-
tual cost of a fully-funded day-
care plan at $44.8 billion.)
The Liberals are already yelling
that $5 billion is peanuts. And
their comrades in the NDP com-

Man charged

worker with violating the West
Vancouver municipal noise bylaw

The charge was laid after resi-

Get lost, Epp. You are
Canada’s Sir. Stafford Cripps.
Or, as Winston Churchill put it,
Sir Stifford Crapps. And this lat-
est slip of yours sits well with

your attack on tobacco advertis-

ing.
Pretty soon, you will be wan-
ting to ban liquor advertising,

* too, and soon after that we'll be

lucky if we can drink yogurt
without someone from your of-
fice telling us it clogs the lungs.

It wouldn't surprise me, either,
if we have to have a’ social
worker with us every time we
cross the street.

Why not? They’re playing your
song again. You know, “I wanna

“new initiatives’’ are just as daft
as provenly-stupid old initiatives.

Like giving forcign vets Cana-
dian service pensions; like throw-
ing bitlions down the foreign aid
drain; like providing dough for
teaching Tibetan in Manitoba;
like spending fortunes on phony
refugees.

Most of these things start small
and end big, and eventually nei-
ther the politicians who started
them nor the people who have to
pay for them can figure out how
the hell it all happened.

Only the other day, the politi-
cians of Ontario couldn’t figure
out how the welfare rolls were
increasing even though that pro-
vince is in the grip of prosperity.

“Welfare rolls are rising in

-booming Ontario,’’ was the

headline.

Since the Liberals came to
power there two years ago,
welfare costs have increased there
by 22.5 per cent. Which is not
surprising, Premier David Peter-
son being a registered member of
the Loony Left.

You can’t blame the takers,
Why work for little when you can
geta lot for doing nothing?

The same madness would app-
ly in B.C. if Hurricane Harcourt
were running things.

Why did Epp introduce this
day-care stuff? Because Brian
Baloney went around promising
everything to everyone during the
last election, that’s why.

Day care (now called child care
because it sounds better and no

one wants to be against looking |

after children) was another of his
sacred trusts, along with giving
aid and comfort to the commies
in Africa.

Being backward, I will never
figure out why it is that people
are encouraged not to look after
their own offspring.

Did you ask them to have
kids?

Neither did I.
