Futurists predict that
McLaughlin to be PM.

THE ESPON Corporation, cor-
porate political and paranormal
advisers, political and economic
analysts and firturologists recently
released a list of world predictions
for 1991 and the 1990s.

The Ontario based company

predicts that:
* Audrey McLaughlin is fated to
become the prime minister of
Canada. The New Democratic
Party will not win the elections
because of the merit of its pro-
grams, but on account of massive
political defaults by both the Lib-
erals and the Progressive Conser-
vatives. The NDP landslide will be
generated by an angry, despon-
dent and economically frightened
electorate.

Audrey McLaughlin will form a
majority government, with the
Conservatives and the Liberals
getting as few as between eight to
15 per cent each of the seats in the
House of Commons.
© The Parti Quebecais will win the
next provincial election in Quebec
and declare the province an in-
dependent nation.

* The Canadian Maritime pro-
vinces plus British Columbia and
Alberta may join the USA be-
tween 1995 and 1998. What will
remain of Canada may just
amount to Ontario, Manitoba and
Saskatchewan, the Arctic ter-
ritories and the Yukon. By 1998-
99, the remaining provinces will
also join the USA.

® The Canadian dollar wil! first
drop to $0.68, then to $0.59 and
later to the $0.46 US level.

* The economic depression shall
last until 1994-95 and bring un-
precedented hardship to Cana-
dians.

ao

® The crash of 1991 will lead to
the insolvency of many American
and Canadian banks, to a curren-
cy reform and to a further crash
of real estate values.

©The NDP government of On-
tario may fall on account of being
unable to find a solution for the
ever more overpowering garbage
disposal issue. The next provincial
elections in Ontario will be fought
over garbage and unemployment.

INTERNATIONAL SCENE
® Mikhail Gorbachev will be out
of office and perhaps this world
within eight months.
® Boris Yeltsin will be followed by
a KGB candidate, who will be
followed by a candidate of the
Soviet General Staff, We shall see
a feeble and doomed attempt by
the Soviet Communists at a
counter-revolution. Six years of
hunger will come upon the Soviet
Union. After that period, Russia
will be reborn a great nation.
* There will be some potentially
devastating war action in the Near
and Middle East. A war with [raq
may or may not result in military
and civilian casualties of about
100,000.
© An attempt on the life of US
President George Bush may occur
in or in the proximity of a theatre
or a concert hall. Arab guerrillas
will become active again and hi-
jack or bomb airplanes.
® One of the moons of Jupiter
may disintegrate on account of
earthquakes.
* The Conservatives will lose the
next British elections.
® Wall Street shall crash in 1991.
© The world-crash will occur in

1991-92.
