George Orwell had things only -half right when he invented Big Brother. He never thought that Big “Sister. would be an even greater threat. But it is now obvious that _ the female of the species is more ‘dangerous than the male. _ The lesson of the Robin- ' Blencoe affair is that the NDP government is about as chuckie- headed a litter as was ever pupped. It preaches human rights while at . ‘ the same time denying them. ° : ‘Dear Editor: The late Arthur Smith, conduc- .,tor of the North Vancouver Youth’ Band, was. an cutstanding North Vancouver District citizen.

Pa oy RNG a ATR RS Ha ud NEA TAR ST One a Ml CS EET What we are seeing is a clear case of VERDICT FIRST, SEN- TENCE LATER, just as the Red Queen told Alice. If you see babies crying in their carriages you can bet they are thinking about Mike Harcourt, who has to be the most witless and fatheaded performer on the public stage since Joe Clark lost his lug- gage and asked that woman in Jordan how her chickens were. You know the details. Complaints were made by a fem, at first anonymously. Later, other complaints were made, also anonymously. Der Fiihrer then fires the accused and tosses him out of caucus. Blencoe would have been shown more consideration if he had become a leper. Nothing had been proved against him and at this writing there was still no proof. But Mikey sces nothing wrong | with being judge, jury and prose-" cutor. He told us so himself. There is jrony in all this,“ Especially for Blencce, because it was his Perfect People’s Party — with help from radical leftists in the universities — that made “sex- -ual harassment” a crime, unde- fined and undefinable’ though it - may be. To say that it is “conduct ofa sexual nature that is unwelcome “There are already parks in the “gistt named after public figures such as Murdo Fraser. -: As an example of unparalleled cynicism there is. even a public recreation facility. named after a ‘past municipal politician even though ‘he fought very hard for and has a detrimental effect on the workplace” is about as fuzzy as san be. Remember the professor down East who got into trouble because he fooked at girls in the swimming pool? The dirty dog was said to swim underwater so that he could get a good view. Off with his head! And did you know there was something called The National Conference of Sexual Harassment Advisers, since converted into The Canadian Association Against Sexual Harassment? i Sexual harassment is a growth industry that pays dividends. About a quarter of the 1,200 complaints made to the B.C. Human Rights Council in 1994 involved sexual harassment, or claims thereof. And business should be even better next year * because the NDP has raised the stakes. Under Bill 33 anyone found guilty by the NDP’s politically appointed, politically correct human wrongs “court” can be fined up to $100,000, of which the complainants get their share. And it isn’t only nasties like me who can be put before the . ‘ Inquisition. Anyone who steps out of line can be, . The B.C. Human Rights Council and aff other human rights w HYazR ailbox many years against public recre- ation. Naming a park after Arthur Smith would be a fitting tribute to | a truly great citizen and friend of youth.

Predictably, the Vancouver Sun agrees with him. But that’s not surprising seeing that the boss of the editorial page is Pat Graham, a feminist and charter member of the Big Sisterhood. A lead editorial stated that “fir- ing Mr. Blencoe was the right thing to do.” But, continued Miss Confusion, “Mir, Harcourt must make clear the process that was followed in removing Mr. Blencoe.” He had already made it clear, sweetheart. He said he was king and could damned well do as he liked. He thinks he’s a democrat, of course, But democracy is a much abused word.The East German commies used to call their turf the DRAPERIES German Democratic Republic. And Jike most socialists Harcourt is just too dumb to know what the road to hell is paved with. The same applies in spades to Men's Inequality Minister Penny Priddy, who wants a better anony- mous denunciation system set up for MLAs. What we have in Victoria is a kakistocracy, which means rule by dangerous dunderheads. There is only one way to change things. Send the NDP to Siberia, along with its human rights council and all other human rights councils. Can't wait for the next election! Revenge is sweet.
