Harrah for the Charter

Charter of Rights and Freedoms has come in-

Ke at last! The millenium has dawned. The

to force and now on we’re all going to be
equal: bums and workers, crooks and honest men.

Never in the story of
human endeavor has so much
been done for so many by so
few, by which I mean the 282
ninnies in parliament who

Not that ong should be en-
“tirely negative. Some will

“that many MPs. are. lawyers

No more. The jerks have
turned us over to the judges,

should like, and what is good
for us. ‘Rule the country,”

the judges have been told.
“Tell us what parliament
really meant."’

Funny as hell, it is, because
parliament itself didn’t know
what it realy meant when it
let Trudeau jostle it into a
maze of ‘‘rights and
freedoms’’.

Already, a guy serving life
for murder in Kingston
penitentiary has launched an
action to get the vote for
cons.

Equal rights for Clifford
Olson! ‘Mister’? Olson if
you please, Hell, the guard
who brings him his grub pro-
bably has to knock on the cell
door, touch his hat and ask
permission to go in.

You can always tell when a
disaster has taken place. The
do-gooders burble with
happiness.

Thus David Vickers, the
man who would be king of
the NDP, says the charter
“may mean a total re-

distribution of wealth in this
~ country”’. .
What he means by that‘is:
H that it will be easier for bums '
. to get their hands on what. &
other men have sweated for. .
Or, as Churchill put it when -
talking about the platform of ' §
the British Labor Party, :

“There will be equal shares of

_poverty all rotind.””

Vickers yelps -that . the

- charter ‘will have a more’ #
‘profound impact on’ Cana-:
dian society than its drafters -

“ever envisioned.’’.

Of course. “What
