WHAT THE Liberals get away with is astounding. So do ‘the Tories, for that matter, al that they have lost lustre. For thanks. Mobina Jaffer is a wonderful example of Liberal party slyness. She’s the professional fem running in North Vancouver. But you could hardly avoid knowing that, she having so much Liberal party dough behind her. '__ Her qualifications in addition to being a rad-fem are that she’s a multiculter and a supporter of the ™ policies that are turning this country into a suburb of every- where except Europe. Which is ’ why she’s an immigration lawyer. | And the slyness comes in because she doesn’t exactly trumpet her intentions, ‘Send her to Ottawa and you can expect even more discrimination ' against men,-and more of the © _ dumb trendy things Ottawa gives: ' birthto. - . For proof, look no further than the report issued by the Cancdian Panel on Violence Against -Women, of which Jaffer wasa star member if the fem press is to ° be believed. : The report could easily have been mistaken for an issue of the Marxist-Lesbian News in Van- . conver; aka the | Status of Women. ~ sheet. 8 It claimed, ‘for’ instance, that 98% of Canadian women haye been the victims of sexual violence from males.

As I mentioned in a previous column, it has been ruled that the equality : provisions of the Charter of Rights don’t apply to married couples because ‘‘they belong to a traditionally advantaged group.” That came about because a man and wife, the silly things, had gone to court claiming they should be entitled to the same tax breaks as unmarried live-ins. ‘simple: if you pine for ‘“‘the good old days’’ of Plucky Pierre, our first.

This bitcher, for example, has done very nicely, thank you, and must have thought she’d stumbled into heaven when Idi Amin turfed her out of Uganda. On the same theme, she says Canada’s courts should be more ““gender-sensitive.”’ As she put it, “‘“women should be treated differently.’’ We've already seen sonie of that. Murder may now not be murder when an allegedly downtrodden female knocks off a man. {t may not even be man- slaughter. Acquittals are in order. Funny thing is, much of the day-to-day violence between the sexes springs from immigrants from India, Uganda, Iran and . ’ other such places, women being seen as dirt in those regions. Jaffer herself hinted as much when she bleated to the Toronto Star that immigrant women face “the double jeopardy of racism and sexism.’’ ~ But instead of calling for a return to a sane immigration pol- icy, the Liberals, Tories and NDP yell constantly for more of the same. The small print of the Liberal platform, i in fact, calls for 270,000 immigrants a year instead of the 250,000 we are getting now. And so does the NDP program, as . McLAFFiin made clear Monday night. The old-line parties dote on the immigrant vote and are in the business of importing votes. Only the Reformers suggest that there should be curbs. ; Jaffer also supports the admit- tance to Canada as ‘‘refugees’’ of any women who claim their hus- bands aren’t nice to them. That means half the population of the Third World, And as the report to which she was a signatory stated, there should be more lesbians in the places of power. What more could we ask for? Well, according to her, the report wasn’t slanted enough in IKEN BAXTER ‘LAWYER. 24 Years ¥ Experience favor of minority women. All this reminds me of the W.B. Yeats story about the Catholic priest who confessed a convent of nuns. “It was like being nibbled to death by ducks,” said the priest.
