WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE had it wrong when he made

King Lear say ‘‘O! that way madness lies; let me shun
that.’’ For we do not shun madness. We embrace it. A short
trip through the Looneyville that is Canada today will show

what I mean.

We'll start with the inc. rrigibly
stupid Vancouver Evening Wimp,
which has been divesting itself of a
few dim thoughts on immigration.
The Wimp, as you may know, is a
devout worshipper of multicult. Is
Vancouver becoming a suburb of
Hong Kong? Never mind. Is
Toronto becoming a Detroit
North, complete with black ghettos
and black crime? Never mind that,
either. Trust me, says The Wimp.

In line with that bright reason-
ing, it happily quotes Professor
Morton Weinfeld of Montreal, an
academic genius who says we must
either have more immigrants from
everywhere or have our doors bat-
tered down dy them. There is
nothing we can do to stem the
flood, he believes.

Hugging that theme happily,
The Wimp says we mustn't remain
‘in the grip of a fortress mentali-
ty.”’ Otherwise the day will come
when we are outnumbered and
overpowered by hordes desperate
to get in.

Which is like saying that if we
don't obey orders from the
Ayatollah, we are done for.

How did we ever manage be-
fore?

sion by the national human rights
commission that awards an Iranian

SOME LOCAL concerns got an
airing in Victoria during a recent
visit by West Vancouver's Mayor
Don Lanskail, municipal manager
Terry Lester and director of fi-
nance George Horwood.

The three officials attended two
Meetings, Lanskail reported to
West Vancouver District Council,
one regarding B.C. Ferries and one
regarding property assessment in-
creases

Lanskail said West Vancouver
made a vigorous case for some sort

dent’s visa and enrolled at the
University of Ottawa.

The Iranian later applied for
landed immigrant status. It was
refused because he was a cripple.
The department was concerned,
rightly, that he would become a
charge on the public purse.

tawa under Max Yalden. ‘ You
hurt this man’s feelings,”’ it said.
So give him $3,000 in compensa-
tion and process him for landed
status. Pronto!

Nothing can be done for a coun-
try that has gone that dippy.

You think the above two items
are the ultimate? Not at all. Next
on the ladder of looniness we have
the admitted mass killer who has
been granted refugee status.

The gent's name is Zacarias
Cruz, a deserter from the Mexican
Army who says he killed at least 60
political prisoners in Mexico and
“helped to kill’ up to 150 others.
Under orders, of course.

Whether he did or not, no one
seems to know. He may be just a

of provincial contribution towards
the expensive fire and police ser-
vices provided to the ferries by the
municipality.

“Most crown corporations
follow the practice of giving some
sort of grant in lieu of taxes for the
services they derive from
municipalities,’ said Lanskail.

The West Vancouver officials
also met with Minister of
Municipal Affairs Rita Johnston
to bring to her attention how
seriously the district has been af-
fected by the precipitous increase

liar, like most ‘‘refugees.’* But a
dopey immigration appeal panel let
a tear trickle down its face on ac-
count of how things might not be
too good for this guy if he were
sent home. So he got to stay.

l expected The Wimp to write an
editorial in praise of this fine hu-
manitarian decision. It must have
missed the item, however.

What a pity the Emperor
Boukassa of the Central African
Empire couldn't make it here to
Wimpland! He may have been a
cannibal, but you can’t deny he
would have made a great addition
to our refugee collection.

Moving right along, we notice
that Ottawa and Vancouver have a
rival in the dottiness department.
North York, which is part of
Metro Toronto, wants its tax-
payers to supply free dental care to
refugees, many of them being
gap-toothed or having black
stumps for molars.

“*Decayed and missing teeth are
putting refugees at a disadvantage
in Metro's job market,’’ health of-
ficials were quoted as saying.

“In a country that sets lots of
store in a good-looking mouth, it’s
difficult for someone with rotting
or missing teeth to make a good
impression on an employer,”
stated Dr. Patricia Main, who
must be a female edition of Pro-
fessor Weinfeld.

Why don’t we shine their shoes
for them, too?

Last but not least in Wimpland’s
parade of mass insanity we have
the above-mentioned Max Yalden
ruling that women can serve in the
infantry.

Good, Let’s hope the Deadly
Dykes will head the assault on any

West Vancouver is the only
municipality in B.C. that has been
affected by five factors related to
the assessment increases: 1) the
drop in unconditional grants from
the province, 2) the drop in condi-
tional grants from the province, 3)
funding inequities suffered by the
whole Lower Mainland, 4)
substantially higher GVRD dues
and 5) increased municipai taxes.
