Robert Coates, MP and former minister for defence. And I'm not talking about the silly night club “scandal** that fed to his resignation. No. [I'm talking about his woes with Gordon Fairweather’s human rights people, so called. A former appointments secretary of the female varie- ty has complained to Fairweathers's lot that she was sexually harassed. By the Hon. Bob. Brian Baloney, Solicitor General Elmer MacKay, and other guardians of the public weal have lamented that a man can be smeared that way. Fairweather & Co. should never have com- mented on the case, they say, until the complaint had been proved or disproved, No doubt. But that is the nature of the human rights lark. Human rights are human wrongs. Frequently, we are not dealing with a pro- perly constituted court and all the safeguards thereof, but with smear and innuendo. A motel owner who won't take in a bunch of drunken Indians is guilty of ‘‘discrimination’’. A restaurant owner who pats a waitress on the bur is made out to be some kind of monster, And so on, Without due process. The Tories were just as keen as Trudeau was tu set up those trendy tribunals. “Me too,” they cried...

Ald. George Puil rightl describes this as price-fixing. tris also interference with the principle of lowest-bidder competition, Good. My maticious-joy cup runneth over. [t serves the Vancouver taxpayer right for electing the commie- socialist coalition known as COPE. If you elect goofies, you can expect goofy government. My malicious-joy thoughts teach also into Ontario, where the Tories are about to hit the dust in the face of a Socialist-Liberal coutition. I was in Toronto the day the election took place, and can tell you why the Tories ended up with a minority government. It wasn’t because they'd been in power for 42 years. It was because they thouglit 5 oo Bs ses en Se : Tate, iG Bp ate ta ee rs ited Wears are Sere TAS <1 Fife 7 MS, Wratten timc en way one Ventures mere about power than they thought about people. In an important school issue, you see, they had joined hands with the other parties against the people, just as the feds do in immigration. The issue was whether Catholic schools should have funding for senior grades. Nan-Catholics saw chat as unfair. If the Catholics were to get such a thing, why not special dispensation for Anglicans, ete. North Shore News The arrogant ones took no notice. They simply passed edicts without debate, think- ing it was safe to be trendy as long as the other parties agreed with them. Didn't they have the people boxed in? Not quite. In their frusteit- tion, the voters took it out on the Tories who had failed to be Tory, Fantasiic. My cup runneth over, 986-6222 Dine out on the majestic Marine Drive near Caulfield.
