Doug Coilins ® get this straight @ THE NEWS that the Seymour hatchery may be closed down because of federal restraint measures will not be greeted with joy in these parts. We are all for restraint, of course, but if it’s money that’s worrying the feds I have a modest proposal to make. Give the hatchery some foreign aid. We scatter dollars into the sinkholes of the world as if we were on some lunatic paperchase, so there should be no problem in the 1985-86 financial year we got rid of $2,174.01 million on aid, deficit or no deficit. But never mind. Ottawa says you can afford it and it allows Brian Baloney and *‘As for ANC violence, Wilson understands it. He mentions the ‘burn- ing, killing and necklacing’ (lynching by fire of those who do not toe the ANC line) and asks,‘Who can blame their rage?’ ’’ dropping a few into the Seymour area, As a colony of the East, we deserve a break anyway. . A little local charity would fit into our foreign aid program perfectly. According to the Cana- dian International Development Agency's annual favored by our aid experts. “Fisheries projects under way in Senegal resulted in the region’s annual catch rising by 3,000 ton- nes, most of it for local consump- tion,”” states CIDA. The Diffa region of Niger appreciates our millet and cowpea programs, too, and we are big in Marxist Mozam- bique and Angola and other bas- tions of communist ‘democracy for the free money and ‘‘loans’”’ we have deposited in those places. Did I say dollars? I’m talking about billions of them, man.

Our hatchery may have to be closed down, but look upon it as an act of charity. Did you know, for instance, that per capita we throw away nearly twice as much dough in aid as rich Uncle Sam does? We spend .45‘of our Gross National Product on the world’s basket cases, the U.S. only .24 per cent. And the Baloneyites are dedicated to upping the ante to .5 per cent. Perhaps we can send some more prize breeding cattle to Uganda for breeding purposes. The last time we did that, Idi Amin and his army lads turned them into hamburger. Reading the CIDA stuff would persuade you that things couldn't be worse if Ed Broadbent and his buddies were in power. | am con- introduce Maggi Capilano Volkswagen- -Audi would like to vineed, in fact, that he is actually running the ship and that the NDP is only pretending to be in opposition. CIDA is even hot on improving the lot of the world’s women. What that has to do with foreign aid I’m not sure. But if you have ever heard of the Ayatollah or watched African men sitting on their bums while the girls get on with things, you will appreciate the joke. CIDA, in short, is another socialist stronghold in a supposed- ly Tory government. Recently; for example, the South African am- bassador sent me excerpts from an “open fetter’? written, he said, by a senior CIDA man named Roger Wilson who had been in Pretoria. Mr. Wilson is a thinkez, He says so himself, ‘‘After real thought, analysis and weighing of scenarios, the only option I see (for change in South Africa) is for a NATO invasion. And...the new government of Azania must face the redistribution of wealth.” (Azania: the communist-run African National Congress’s name for South Africa.) As for ANC violence, Wilson understands it. He mentions the ‘burning, killing and necklacing”’ (lynching by fire of those who do not toe the ANC line) and asks, “Who can blame their rage?”’ CIDA would sav that Wilson does not speak for it. But I would say he is typical CIDA. 1 would also say that any CIDA official who took a.pro-South Africa line would soon fina -imself aidlessly picking berries in the Fraser Valley. Back to the fish hatchery. Are we not as deserving as the Diffa region of Niger? Get crack- ing, you North Shore mayors. And tell CIDA that if it wants to do some real good in the Third World it should stop sending dollars and start sending condoms. Thank you. Thornhill to our prestigious sales team.
