TELEVISION ADDRESS by Premier Mike Harcourt, Oct. 15, 1996, ] stand before you today, friends, just before the deadline for calling an election, to ask you to send the NDP back to Victoria for another five years, But first let me correct a few false impressions. it is not true, as has been claimed by the corrupt Opposition, that we have held on until the fast minute before going to the people. { am call- ing this election at least 10 minutes before that minute. There are good reasons for that. We have given British Columbians the kind of governmeit they never dreamed of and it is only right that it should be continued as long as pos-- sible. And it is not true that the NDP “is neither new nor democratic but it is a party,” as was stated by a hateful member of the Opposition. Be assured that we are thinking of hav- ing him prosecuted under our new “and very democratic human rights legislation. We have delivered a dif- ferent kind of democracy because we are not a party in the ordinary sense. We are a MOVEMENT, and ‘as any good doctor will tell you there is a great difference between a Grinking THE FOLLOWING people recently appeared in’ North Shore courts in connection with drinking and driving related offences: ; .

We plan to keep regular. Only a movement could have brought in anti-free speech laws like Bill 33, designed to silence racist scoundrels like Doug Collins. We would also like some recognition for _ having invented the bubble zone. Our task has not been easy and : we have sometimes had to proceed : discreetly. I recall the words of my ' co-conspirator, Mr. Glen Clark, who said that we couldn't get rid of all the fascists in the health system in one swoop. As I told you five years ago, we have'a social conscience.

What are a few bucks taken from money that should have gone to wid- ows and orphans, compared with the welfare of our movement, which has always had the interests of the poor at heart? Besides, those same wid- ows and orphans are well looked after under our world-beating wel- fare program. It should be apparent to any fair- minded person, too, that my sense of political propriety is high. Yes. I have been to the mountain top, and the view from there was so good that 1 never resigned. Also. { put that fine fellow Moe Sihota back into office a short three months after he had been sent to sit in sackcloth and ashes. 1 had to consider the greater good of the community, you see, especial- ly that of the Sikh community. whose votes | value and whose sup- port I might have fost if | had ignored their instructions. As I never tire of saying, Moe is the best environment minister this province has ever had. What would the spotted owls do without him? Surely their well-being is of greater importance than that of a bunch of wood-cutting beer swillers? We are not white-wine socialists for nothing. That brings me to another point.

Don’t they understand we are doing our best for them? That's why we take donations from corpo- rations even though our rules say we shouldn’t. It’s ail in a good cause.
