IT HAS taken a long time,
but some people in the
media are beginning to catch
on in the matter of im-
migration.

Most mainstream media folk,
you see, wet their pants at the
thought of being called racists.
And some are even daft enough to
believe that one day we shall all
dance happily around the
multicult maypole.

But there are a few hopeful
signs. In the Globe & Mail,

_ Michael Valpy has run two col-
umns on this subject. The headline
on one read: “It's not racist to
discuss immigration."'

An astounding statement, com-
ing from him. For he is a wet who
likes to bleed for blacks, Indians
and ather dowatroddens.
| Now he points out that school
boards don’t have the means to
cater to the immigrant hordes and
that this should be debated in the
election campaign. Wonders never
cease. »

- He also quotes figures showing
that only 15% of the 250,000 im-

. “Migrants now coming in every

year are selected. The rest come

either as ‘“‘refugees” or as rela-

__ tives. : :

- All of which has been reported

» many times by me, your wretched

racist scribe.

“Anyone who dares address this
issue is branded a racist. ... But,
as European governments have
just discovered, if they don’t act
people will rise up and act for
them. Ignoring the immigration
issue will end up by fuelling ex-
tremism...””

Where is the Canadian politi-
cian who will grasp the nettle?

Not Kimmie. Not Chretien, Not
McLAFFlin. All three are com-
mitted to the destruction of this
country’s demographic pattern.
Which is to say the white pattern.

And although Preston Manning
wants to do away with official
multiculturatism, he ducks the

: bigger question.

If he faced it he would give his
“ opponents a bloody nose. But he
walks in fear.of the racist-hunters.

As for Kimmie, she was in the
cabinet that increased the im-
migrant intake to a.quarter of a
million a year, which was a bla-
tant pitch to the ethnic vote. But .

* the unwritten inter-party agree-

ment in Ottawa makes it safe for
her to do it. :

Chretien, meanwhile, sucks up
shamelessly to the immigrants.
And it was the Liberals who wiped
out selective immigration in the
first place. -

McLAFFlin grovels even more. —

They should all be made to live

“But this month I think the thing.

that got me thinking was the

that and was on the dole; I would
not have a worry in the world!

Toronto.

Three thousana recent arrivals
from Somalia have been accom-
modated there in a one-block
arca, and when a security guard
ticketed a Somali’s car he was at-
tacked.

The guard called for reinforce-
ments. Other Somalis came

| charging along. Dogs were

brought in. A Somali woman was
bitten. A riot ensued.

Screaming “‘racisin’’ (that's the
second word of English these peo-
ple learn, the first being ‘‘ref-
ugee’’),the Somalis blocked off an
access road to the Pearson Inter-
national Airport.

Three have been charged with
assault, uttcring threats, and
assault with a weapon. One said

“that Canada is like a police state,

but shows no desire to go back to
Somalia.

There were demands that the
‘racist’ security guards be
removed. But a loca! building
Manager says, “if there’s a villain
it’s the federal government...”

Correct.

Most of these additions to the
Great Canadian Mosaic are on
welfare. And 35,000 of thelr
brothers and sisters-are living in
the Toronto area alone.

Wonderful thing, the Canadian
Mosaic.

Here’s another happy ite
flashback.

When the Tories started to
bring in tens of thousands of
Vietnamese in the 1970s, a former
director of immigration warned
that every Tizird World immigrant
would bring an average, of 15 rel-
atives.

His name was Kim Abbott. But /

he was wrong. For.in the Win-
nipeg Free Press of Aug. 17 there’
was a statement by-a Winnipeg “
school board official that on
average, each Filipino arriving in
the city has been responsible for
bringing i in 150 others.

There are some hopeful signs,
as I say. But things will get worse
before they get better.

It seems to me that Corvette
Bob has got some explaining to
do!
