YOU CAN believe it or tot, but a Canadian political party © get this straight © has come out against our dumb immigration system. i speak of the Reform Party of Canada. You may say that is nothing to get: -excited about. You may say Anat Preston Manning and his sup- porters do not have a single member, in the House of Com- mons. Truc enough. But as the Chinese say, the longest march starts with a single step, and this - Reform Party step is a very long step indeed. : i: “‘As-our government dithers, your tax dollars and in some cases your jobs are going to support tens of thousands of bogus refugees and other illegal im- migrants who are in Canada to stay..: Your heritage and culture are being transformed.” _ “THE ADMINISTRATION OF CANADA 'S 5 IMMIGRATION "Tre. days, anyone is a racist:-who wants to defend our borders and maintain our ‘identity. Not too long ago we'used to go to war to preserve such things, but today Ottawa itself i is paving the way ; Sor their destruction.”* You ‘could have knocked me down with a statement from Ben- no Friesen or. Mary Collins when : the Reform Party's leaflet on im- . migration reached me. Here is ‘part of what it. says: — “Shouldn't: Canadians have a " say_as.to the: makeup of the ‘ - population? What is‘the percen- tage of Persons conting into Canada from. Third: World coun- . tries?: Do we wish to have our, culture and ethnic balance ae *vghanged?”.-° i “Why should illegal immigrants have the same rights’ a5 Canadians? ; Whiy'a aren "tile legal immigrants ‘who perform i il. : legal: acts ‘deported? “SYSTEM IS A JOKE — BUT THE JOKE JS.ON ALL OF US WHO RESIDE IN CANADA LEGALLY.” The Reform Party. of Canada; states the leaflet, wants to “CLOSE THE BACK DOOR ON |. - IMMIGRATION.!!< ~The emphasis seems to be on ile... os > legals, but the rest of the message » ' is clear enough. So Manning &. * Co. can look forward ta being de: 2 nounced in the mainstream media >and by their political Opponents as ““racists.’”. ‘ “These days,: anyone is a racist” _.who wants to defend our borders and maintain our identity. . Not too long: ago we used to’go to war ° » to preserve such things, but today Ottawa itself is paving the, way for: their destruction In raising the” ‘immigration i issuc, “i he Reform Party is sticking its” ck ‘out.’ But someone has to do seeing that the Tories, Liber Is the wheel.so‘ they’ will ed when they go back’on and NDP are all on. their bellies before the ethnic vote. I called’ Ron Gamble about this new turn inthe party's program, he being a Reform Party organizer on the North Shore. Was this just a local ploy, { ask- ed him, or had it been approved by Manning? He assured me it had Manning’ s blessing. Not only that, but in August there is to be a policy workshop on immigration at Saskatoon. Will the Reform Party stay the course on this great issuc? Docs it have the guts? If it does [ will ‘vote for it. That is not to forget what J wrote some months ago, namely - that Manning was not the man to rouse the country. He was no ‘Western Rene Levesque, J stated. § ‘1 would be delighted if he prov- - & ed me wrong.. The troops arc there if the Reform Party wants to sound the Fight call. People are always tell. ing me they are s0 frustrated (hat’ they’ just aren't going to vote next time. ''Who is there to vote for?" ; they ask, The Reform Party may be ‘throwing:a little light into, that ; tunnel, - “It isn't just a ‘matter of i im- migration, important though that may be. . : They are + hot against the idioctes of bilingualism and want to ©. teplace those hacks in the Senate with elected: persons, oS They: also want to create a voice an far the: ‘West where it counts,< ; Itis quite likely that the next : + federal election will turn out fo. be” 4 dog's breakfast, and that there will be'a minority government.
