YOUR MAN Doug is about to put the gloves on and do a bit of political scrapping. There comes a time, you see, when talk must become action. For the prospect of another four years of rule by hypocrites and sellouts masquerading as Tories is too much. The first hurdle comes at 7:30 p.m. on Tuesday in the West Van Secondary School auditorium. That's when we will see whether the Reform Party in Capilano- Howe Sound wants me. If it doesn’t, well and good. If it does, well'and better. If the verdict is positive, I can promise a damned good fight. And if | unseat Mary Collins 1 don’t in- tend to make any speeches in Parliament about what nice weather we have on the West Coast and how much we enjoy turkey at Thanksgiving, or how Col. Mengistu of Ethiopia is a nice sincere man or how South Africa must be ruined in order to save democracy as we know it, I'2t leave all that to the Mary Collinses, the Chuck Cooks and the Joe Clarks. If they're still around, It’s not that any miracles can be expected from the Reform Party. But uniess Brian Baloney sweeps the board again — in which case we're down the drain. — a few seats in the next Parliament could be of enormous importance. There has been silence on issues like Quebec, immigration, foreign aid, the multicult cowardice, preferment for the French in the civil service, the armed forces and the RCMP, (with more to come), and state suppert for every oddball group you can think of. And the silence should be broken. ‘ A few brave guys tried to fight against the Bil} C-72 language bill disaster, but Brian rolled his tanks over them. in doing so, he was . saying Screw English Canada, and You're Pregnant And f Need Support: 1 CIRTHRIGHT § Call 997-7913 + Free Pregnancy Test » f ; in Vancouver Call & El North Vancouver 687-7223 i E 229 Lonsdale - if we let him get away with it we'll deserve what we get. In 1984, people flocked to the Tory banner because they were fed up with Trudeau. Which was a bit like throwing out the Shah of Per- sia in order to get the Ayatolla. We wuz robbed.

But no, our friend is playing the same old sheli game. A lot of folk still don’t realize how Quebec is calling the shots in this country, either, with the so- called opposition playing the same tune as the Tories. The whole bunch grovel at the mere mention of Quebec. If the Baloneyites get a clear majority, they will go on trying to out-NDP the NDP cn every front. Fars the man at the top believes in nothing except deing prime minister, It would never occur to him to offer us a dish of blood, sweat and tears in the interests of reality and common sense. As for the free trade thing, don’t be sucked in by it. First, the Reform Party is for that, too. Se- cond, how can we know that Baloncy means what he says? Not so long ago he was swearing hand on heart that free trade would be the death of us. So why believe him now! Trying to get that guy to say a straight word is like trying to put socks on an octopus. Listen, The government we've had for the last four years is Red Tory. Which means that in most respects it is indistinguishable from the Red Liberals and the Red So- cialists. And it is backed by a crowd of baa-lambs, among whom number Collins and Cook. Millions are found fer militant feminists and lesbians, but not a dime for REAL Women, whe are real Tories. And the pork-barzcll- ing would put Tammany Hall to shame. Come along and fight on Tues- day night. And if you want to help, the number to call — as of Monday — is 926-9955. You have a chance to do some- thing. Don’t miss it. P.S. From now until after Nov. 21 I won’t be writing a word about federal politics if I'm elected the Reform Party’s candidate in Capilano-Howe Sound Tuesday night.

Four West Vancouver council members went to the recent Union of British Columbia Municipalities conference in Whistler, along with all but one North Vancouver District council! member and all but one North Vancouver City Council member. While every North Vancouver council member usually attends at least one conference per year, not every West Vancouver alderman has gone to one in the past two year period, “Any travel costs incurred by council and staff are approved in open council mectings and there is opportunity to speak to it at that time,”” said Ald, Mark Sager.
