Doug Collins @ get this straight ® COULDN’T HELP laughing over Carole Taylor biting the dust at the hands of busloads of ancient non-English speak- ing Chinese. For although I’ve never talked to her, | see the winsome Miss Taylor as a standard-issue liberal who has never had anything to say about how this country is being flooded by the inhabitants of Asia. Miss Taylor wants to get into politics, seeing that the Commie- COPE mob is threatening a take- over under what the media delicately refer to cs ‘‘left-wing"' Harry Rankin. She seemed certain to be nominated as an NP& aldermanic candidate. Alas, the buslvads ar- rive, they having been organized by a Chinatown accountant and immigrant named Gim Huey, and Korrai lease okayed THEY'RE SWITCHING saddles at Korral Riding Academy. North Vancouver District Coun- cil approved Monday the assign- ment of the Kx al district land ground lease to North Shore . Equestrian Centre Ltd. In a letter addressed to council earlier this month, the stable operation’s tentative new owners Peter anc’ Denise Kinvig asked for a@ modified lease, including a new rate structure for services provided on the district property. Ald. Joan Gadsby questioned the lack of personal financial in- formation submitted to council pertinent to the new lessees’ re- quest for leasehold assignment. “This particular riding academy has had a history of financial pro- blems. It’s quite normal in leasing out property to check out credit worthiness. It’s astute. business,’’ said Gadsby. But Ald. Mary Segal said coun- cil shouldn't concern itself with fi- nancial backgrounds. ‘‘We’re sim- ply being asked to approve a land lease.” ‘““We shouldn’t be horsing around on this any further,’ quipped acting mayor Craig Clark.

She is shocked. NPA mayoral candidate Gordon Campbell is shocked. Everybody is shocked except Huey. He is not shocked because he was Number Five. Politics Chinese-style has worked, . Why people are shocked i don’t know. The NPA nomination meeting was a classic instance of busload democracy, a common trait of the Orient, Fiji, the Philip- pines, Guyana, etc. In this case, the ancients did not know the language or who they were voting for, couldn't have told you what the words ‘‘NPA" stand for, and stayed in the hall for only as long as it took them to count nine. We can expect nothing else, considering that we don’t have the backbone to stop the kind of im- migration we're getting. And more of the same is on the way.

We must fearn to put up with it. The days when we argued as in- dividuals about issues are numbered. The wave of the future is busload democracy and voting by race. Soon, old-fashioned Anglo-Saxon style democracy will be but a dim memory. Editerial writers, academics and other clever people applaud the process. NPAer Jonathan Baker, who was upset at some aldermen hav- ing endorsed certain candidates (but not him) said that Huey's people had ‘‘as rauch right to vote for anyone they wanted to as all the WASPS in this lace’. So they did. But that's not the point, is it! Talking about voting by race, how do you think Bill Yee was elected to Vancouver Council? When he ran for office, he was unknown to most Vancouverites, yet placed high in the poll. That too was busload democracy. Perhaps w+ should go in for it, too. By the way, if it is all right for Baker and others to go around yelling about WASPS (he is not one, in spite of his name) can I talk about Chinks? I thought not! x wk The provincial government was wrong to lift South African wines from the shelves under threat that a couple of bottles had been poisoned. It capitulated to verbal terrorism. If we are to be no braver than that, there will be no limit to what lunatics will demand. The Squamish Five would soon be running things. The threat was clearly a piece of bluff, and if Victoria had held firm, the bottle-threateners would have achieved nothing. For I do not believe that any liquor store or warehouse employee would cooperate with such idiots. Furthermore, if you have ever taken the top off a bottle of South African wine you will know that it couldn't be put back without it being obvious that it had been tampered with. And anyone who tried to mess with a bottle in the store would be detected. Put the booze back on the shelves, Bill. TRY REC FITNESS “ete Phone 988-6166 urance in the Vancouver area.
