THERE’S one golden rule in the Canada your betters have fash- ioned for you. DON’T PUBLISH THE TRUTH. DON’T SPEAK THE TRUTH. BE A PHAR- ISEE, St. Luke had it all wrong when he wrote: “No one lights a candle and puts it in a cellar or under a bushel, but rather on a candlestick so that those who enter may see the light.” Our liberals don’t want candles sold ar all, The fuss over George Rigaux’s comments about Sikh politics in Surrey is a case in point. He was speak- ing the truth, and the truth set him free. From his Reform party organizing job. It was unwelcome to the media and to his trembling leaders, headed by Preston Manning. For the nation-hos- tile CBC it was a national story, What black mass did he recite? That he believed Sikhs had banded together to shut out non-Sikh candidates; that they will do anything to get their men elected (but not their women!); that they are “different” politically. He was saying, in other words, that they are raciaily motivated. But they can be as racially motivated as they like. The same applies to any other “minority” group. But if we did it we would be consumed in the fire of politically cor- This may be the number you’ve been looking for. i & 2 Bedroom Condominium X'S shot hit rect rage. Or so the politicians believe. But 1 believe that if Preston Manning had the guts to say what most Canadians think he would sweep the board, rage or no rage. Instead, he yearns vainly for favorable editorials. The man is a fool. Favorable editorials in the big media are reserved for the Liberals and Tories, come what may. Tt was they who brought the Third World into Canada en masse. And they pander to them at every turn, often exceeding the planned immi- the Reform candidate who lost to Grewal. Never. It can be no coinci- dence, for example, that all of the other party candidates nominated in Surrey Central so far have been Sikhs. The Tories may be the sole excep- tion, but only because the East Indian who controls the executive wants his man to “scand out” as a result of the publicity. The game is being played to the hilt. Predictably, The Vancouver Sun ran the story to the max and then waddled in with an editorial headed, “The Canadian Way.” “I used to write about the immigration system in the hope that traditional Canada could be preserved. It was a false hope ... It gives me some perverse satisfaction to see that even the teachers are now squawking about the curse of English as a Second Language in the schools.” gration targets. For votes. What do they care about the country? You tell me. As for Rigaux, letters in the Surrey papers show he was reflecting what people out there are thinking. The “choice” of Gurmant Grewal as the Reform candidate pro- duced bitter criticism not so muck because he was a Sikh as because of the way it was done. Which was by busing and, obviously, by the widespread signing up of new members on the basis of race. “When will East Indians play by the same rules as the rest of us?” asked the wife of “Political power is open to everyone,” it smarmed, while hinting that whites “are among the least assimilable people in the world, hiving off in tight litle ghettos wherever they ge ” If immigration continues in its present pattern they will have to go a long way. To get away trom the Asiatic invasion Vancouverites have already left in droves for the suburbs. But immigration will catch up with them, as it has done in Surrey and is doing on the North Shore.

Yes. And B.C. is Asia's new province. [ used to write about the immiggation system in the hope that traditional Canada could be preserved. It was a false hope. What hope can there be for a country in which the minorities and establishment immigration lawyers run the Immigration and Refugee Board; where the politicians are cultural subversives; where homosexuals are accepted as refugees because they are homosexuals, und where a 12-year-old kid from England is deemed to be a refugee because he was said to be a victim of sexual abuse? It gives me some perverse satisfaction to see that even the teachers are now squawk- ing about the curse of English as a Second Language in the schools. They should have listened to me 20 years ayo. As for Rigaux, he fired a good shot. Pity he grovelled and threw his gun away. ~— The North Shore News believes strongly in freedom of speech and the right of all sides in a debate to be beard.
