Louise Aird BRIGHT LIGHTS FTER LAST week's political debate, people seem to be thoroughly disgusted with this election, as well as confused and undecided (not surprisingly, considering the fact that the CBC’s Ann Medina, the worst mediator ever, rarely let anyone make a point). Lots of people sa the re goin to ruin their ballots — oy iden 8 response, but | guess it’s better to register.a protest than register - nothing at all. . ” Anyway,.| thought now woud be‘a good time to talk about a re- ‘cent speech made by Maclean’s columnist Allan Fotheringham, who doesn’t seem to know who he’s going to vote for either. ‘Fotheringham was vacationing at his Bowen home with his daughter ~ Francesca. His pal, West Van's Bob An- nable, is Liberal candidate Audrey Sojonky’s fundraising chairman. | So the Foth agreed to speak at a Sojonky fundraising luncheon at *:Hollyburn Country Club — but he said he didn’t know it was a fund- raiser. (Mary Collins’ people were reportedly furious.) Fotheringham is unused to -- delivering speeches, saying ‘I feel like a Zsa Zsa Gabor husband: ‘iknow what to do but I’m not sure fl can make it interesting.” ~ . .He talked a bit about the way : “Bennett Columbia” used to be — when his friend Bill Bennett took the ferry to Victoria and “W.A.C. walked over. ‘ He called Bili Vander Zalm ‘‘a iwhacko,”’ and said that we’re un- fair to Premier Mike because he . does the work of two men — Laurel and Hardy.: “The Foth is not a Kim Campbell fan. He said she’s not a politician, but an opportunist — she could never be a great politician like Trudeau, who had a careér, a path and a brain (ouch). He pointed out that she went to . the London School of Economics ona Canada Council grant; and NEWS photo Cindy Goodman COLUMNIST ALLAN Fotherirgham spoke at Liberal candidate Audrey Sojonky's fundraiser at Hollyburn Country Club. that she never seriously pursued a graduate degree but, with only a BA, she demanded tenure at SFU and UBC and, when they said no, accused both institutions of sex- ism. Fotheringham went on to say that Campbell has the attention span of a hummingbird ~ she practised law for only six months before going to work for Bennett; and she keeps changing her mind on important issues like abortion. Jean Chretien didn’t fare much better. Fotheringham called him “yesterday’s man,” saying that he looks like the driver of a getaway car, that his French is worse than his English, and that the Liberals will regret not choos- ing Pau! Martin Je. as their leader, ~The Liberals have collapsed in Quebec, opening the door for the “Flop Quebecois.” he says, because Quebec voters want poli- ticians with panache. ; Foth predictions: Chretien and Campbell will lose in their ridings; the Flop Quebecois will take 40° _ PQ seats; ““Presto’”’ Manning will take 75% in Alberta and B.C.; Quebec will always threaten to separate, but never will — they vote their wallets. His advice to Audrey, if sent to © Ottawa, was “‘stay out of Hull after dark"; and he asked me to send a message to Doug Collins: “If it wasn’t forme, you’dbea dustman.” There were digs taken at Mary Collins at the luncheon — some- one said she'll lose because too many people think she’s married to Doug; and Stuart Henderson says he supports Audrey because she’d be our representative to Ol- tawa, while Mary is Ottawa’s rep- _ resentative to us.
