THOSE WHO dare to cast their peepers on this column
will know that | periodically become pompous and hand

out the Mary Collins Goiden

Turkey Awards in honor of

the North Shore MP having made the worst speech in

Parliament. That time
To Liberal Leader John
Turner; for being se craven as to
jump on the bandwagon and de-
mand that South Africa
capitulate to our ridiculous
demands ‘‘by Christinas’' or face
total sanctions and withdrawal of
diplomatic recognition A real
mugwump, this guy.

To the NDP's Pauline Jewett, a
PhD. and one of the dumbest
dames around; for suggesting that
murder in defence of the black
vote is no crime. Is this fem
Canada’s Barry Goldwater in
drag?

To the NDP itself, which would
have us quit NATO and NORAD
and give Moscow even more to
cheer about. Money thus saved
would go to Lesbians On The
March, or for teaching Tibetan in
Manitoba.

To Mila Baloney:; for showing
us how a prime minister's wife can
be bereft of brains in trying to
make immigrants of Frenchmen
who teach her kids. A big laugh,
this one, so let’s hear it for lovely
Mila.

To the Great Baloney himself;
for receiving terrorist Oliver Tam-

' bo of the African National Con-
gress and at the same time going
on his hands and knees to Jewish
pressure groups to say that Presi-
dent Kurt Waldheim of Austria is
not welcome here.

Another prize for Mr. Baloney,
folks, om account of how he
allowed Quebec boss Robert
Bourassa to chair the Franco-
phoney conference. But don't bet

} on his asking Bill Vander Zalm to
chair the Commonwealth
Conference.

To the Letter Carriers Union;
for claiming it would be a threat
to job security if posties used their
cars to deliver mail. That would
allow them to do their rounds
more quickly, you see, and maybe
fewer posties would be needed.
Watch for the mail to be delivered
by guys on their hands and knees,
that making for a busier day.

To Minister of Energy Marcel
Masse; for unashamedly hiring
French Canadians in the name of
bilingualism and to hell with
English Canadians who speak
French.

To the jerks in Ottawa who

is upon us again,

so here goes.

stipulated that anyone upplying
for a job in the Canadian Pavilion
at Expo 8&8 in Australia must be
bilingual, with the result that Greg
McFarlane of West Vancouver is
out of luck.

To the Greenpeace loonies who,
in their demented desire to harass
the friendly U.S. Navy, held up
the traffic on the Lion's Gate
Bridge.

To the big Canadian banks who
didn't have any more brains than
to lend billions of dollars to Third
World countries, with the result
that Chey will be able to claim tax-
deductible losses that will be
borne by the taxpayer.

To the Tory government; for
wiping out hundreds of millions in
“loans” granted to Franco-phony
countries and other basket cases.

To Federal Health Minister
Jake Epp; for being a pea-headed
puritan and plotting to prevent
the tobacco companies from
advertising.

To the Tory cabinet; for allow-
ing Sinclair Stevens to charge
$600,000 worth of legal fees to
thee and me in his conflict of in-
terest inquiry.

To Joe Clark; for going to
Poland and stating, wide-eyed,
that the commie dictators there
were “more liberal’ than he ex-
pected. One of history's major
bonk-heads, is Joe.

To Joe Mathias of the
Squamish Band; for being dumb
enough to tell his Indian brothers
they should use force to ‘strangle
the country’? if they don’t get
what they want.

To Bill Vander Zalm; for
panicking when David Suzuki and
Co. coughed, and doing a sellout
job on South Moresby.

To BCTV Newshour; for doing
a 12-minute sob-story on those
Bulgarian ‘‘refugees’’ who are less
persecuted than [ am, and for
whining that such phonies were
“forced to apply for welfare’’.

To NDP immigration critic Dan
Heap, Liberal immigration critic
Sergio Marchi, Rabbi Gunther
Plaut of Toronto, Anglican Ar-
chbishop Ted Scott and a host of
other nitwits who are doing their
best to wreck laws that would stop
more phony refugees barging into
this country.

Family settles M Creek
law suit out of court

A SUIT seeking $602,000 in dam-

ages from the provincial gov-
ernment and BC Rail over the
disastrous 1981 M Creek mudslide
has been settled out of court after
the family behind the suit claimed
it could not afford to pay the legal
bills from an extended court battle.

Jack and Mabel Stainsby and
their son, Glen, who were seeking
the damages after they lost their
home, located at the mouth of M
Creek off the Squamish Highway,
and possessions in the Oct. 28,
1981 mudslide, accepted a
$135,000 settlement after they
claimed they did not have the
money to continue a suit that law-
yers estimated could stretch to nine
weeks,

David Donohoe, the lawyer rep-
resenting the Stainsbys, alleged the

provincial forest ministry was ini-
tially negligent in authorizing ex-
tensive logging and providing in-
adequate reforestation in the area,
thereby increasing the possibility
of mudslides on the highway.

Donohoe also criticized the pro-
vincial ministry of highways for
failing to recognize what he alleged
was the negligent design of the M
Creek bridge.

BC Rail, Donohoe maintained,
was negligent in failing to ensure
that its bridge over the creek was
designed with sufficient clearance.

The Stainsbys were originally
paid $104,000 compensation under
the Provincial Emergency fund
after they were washed out, and
the latest settlement of $135,000
will give them a total of $239,000
in compensation.
