No to Charlatan Accord Would you buy a car covered by a tarpulin? — Classified ad inserted by the No forces. MY DEAR Brian Baloney: This is to let you know you can take your Charlatan Accord and stuff it. Never in the field of human endeavor has so much balls been fed by so few to so many. The few I have in mind are your less than Honorable Self, Joe Clark, the dizzy and dozy provin- cial premiers, and the flunkies of the Establishment. You are like blind men ina + tag-team wrestling match. You make no contact at all. Not with me, anyway. And not only me. Grey Eyes and I were out to dinner the other night with some folk who have long tolerated my idiosyncracies. : There were 11} of us, and your box of tricks turned out to be the main item on the menu. Right after | slopped my wine a secret ballot was taken. Well, sort of secret. My pal Percy, you see, could easily be mistaken for a town crier. My lung capacity being almost as good as his it's likely that our orations were heard in Burnaby. And not so incidentally, he’s a former bomber pilot who would love to dump a load on Ot- tawa. Seven voted No, two Yes. There was one spoiled ballot (someone wrote rude remarks on it) and one abstention. woe” enemies of Canada out of Quebec figured hotly in the discussion. But | won’t go into all that again because you must know by now what we peasants think of * the distinct society and all that pus. Suffice it to say that we want to be distinct too, not indistinct. We enemies didn’t think much of Indian self-government, cither. Doug Collins ON THE OTHER Even if the blue-eyed Indians are included, they make up only 3% of the population. So why should there should be a third level of government for them? Government at all levels already snatches all the money we make up to June 10, and with the Red Brothers hanging reund our necks in affectionate embrace that will likely go to Oct. 10, Another thing. Your script says the deal will *‘safeguard and de- velop the Indians‘ languages, cultures, economies, identities, in- stitutions and traditions.’’ Not a word about OUR Ian- guage, culture, economy, institu- tions and traditions, which are just about down the drain now, thanks in large part to you, you milk-voiced twerp. Lack of space prevents me from writing several more pages on that important topic. But perhaps Mary Collins could send you a few old columns, she being your focal handmaiden. Which reminds me. Your pro- Yes ads on TV are about as good as a feather on a wet day. They teli us that your vision of the New Canada is Minority-Land plus Quebec. Plus sickly background music and faggoty voices. II admit one thing, Brian. You are not the sole creator of the Canadian mess. It began with Pierre Trudeau and his Charter of Rights and Phoney Freedoms. That was 10 years ago, and its biggest achievements to date have been bonanzas for lawyers and the reduction of rights. Quebec didn’t want in. It then held a referendum on sovereignty-association, which was rejected because too many Quebecers were too smart to say goodbye to all the goodies they get. That the referendum was held at all seemed to worry you guys. But it didn’t worry me. Then you pop up with that made-in-the-kitchen Meech Lake cake. When that went into the gar- bage can you produced this latest piece of putrefaction. Listen, Brian. You and those bankers can prance and dance and tear up bits of paper as much as you like. It only makes us laugh. What do bankers know? They make disastrous loans to countries like Mexico and then have the hard neck to give us financial ad- vice. This above all. In a suck-up to that stinker Bob Rac of Ontario your deal includes something call- ed the Social Charter (for which read socialist). That's why that loudmouth Bob White of the Canadian Labor Congress comes on the TV preaching on your behaif. You have asked the No side, “What is your alternative?’’ Here it is. Let Quebec go its own way. My bet is that it wouldn't march out of the house. But if it did, so be it. Besides, the threat from Quebec won't stop even if we vote Yes.
