8 - Sunday, April 27, 1986 - North Shore News Doug Collins © get this straight THE BOYS in the Kremlin love this part of the world. For we have become the ‘‘peace capital’’ of North America. In Vancouver, a socialist mayor says American warships shouldn’t be in harbor here, this being “peace week’’. What bad taste, he says..~ ° The’ ships’ commander notes - the cold official climate and closes « che vessels to the public. A small - bunch of reds put on a demonstra- ‘tion on the docks and the media } faithfully record it. ‘. It is the same on the North ’ Shore. All the commies and com- ‘pany have to do to’get their pic- ‘tures in the paper is to parade out- “side. Chuck Cook’s office “spouting the standard commie line: “‘Make Canada: a Nuclear.

Moscow be secure with those. How can the “‘peace’’ side be wrong? Isn't there a_ retired American admiral. with them? isn't Kenneth Galbraith the famous socialist economist decorating the proceedings with his lofty brow? Are all those mar- chers commies? There are not, of course. They are simply living proof of a well- orchestrated and unceasing cam- paign that has always had its roots in Moscow and feeds on natural fears. But while Moscow’s word. can be spread here, our word can-" not be spread there. .If you ever hear of a Fraser Institute article being featured in Pravda, do give meacall., — . The .communists and their’ friends preach without cease that: : the USSR wants only peace and: ’ **secure borders’’. Western defence is condemned as aggres-.. sion. As with the Cruise missile.

No Galbraith demands to know where the free elections are that Stalin laughingly promised the states of Eastern Europe. Harry Rankin makes no speeches about them in Vancouver Council, and Vancouver’s dotty mayor doesn't say it’s bad taste for Russian war- ships to be in Riga. Europe and Afghanistan are not the only beneficiaries of peace. One of the finest examples is Kampuchea (known in pre- purification days as Cambodia), ‘where at least one-quarter of the population has gained the peace of the grave. . All of those things are ‘“‘peace’’. War is NATO, the U.S., Ronald Reagan and dithering democracies that have been Fetreating for 40. _ years..- - For those with long. memories, one of. the: quaintest-ever | ex- amples of peace was the invasion - of South Korea in 1950. At the | in the: time, stories abounded communist and ‘egg-head press showing that the’real aggressor was Syngman Rhee, the guy -whose country ‘was being swiped. I'm told that a few days ago, a woman rang the Vancouver “: “peace week” people to say she: too wanted to. parade for peace. She'd like to bring. her own ban-_, |, ner, she said. ‘*Great,”? they said. . But when she explained that her banner would read ‘‘Peace for -|- that Afghanistan’’ ” “they said wouldn’t be in order. “Walk ; for,.: “peace,’” say ‘the | placards on Marine‘ Drive. - Thanks but no thanks.: \ Transit expands for worid’s fair THE NORTH Shore will be get- ting additional transit service to help handle the expected rush of Expo 86 visitors.
