SOMETIMES the weirdest things come my way, like the
lettér from Mike Harcourt entreating me to give money to
- the NDP “Campaign for Medicare’’.

According, to “Mikey, the end is
: nigh unless we prop up his party.
If we fail to do that, he implies,
the scoundrelly and unscrupulous

.tich will clam on to all the doctors. .
- We peasants won't even be able to ©

‘get a little finger fixed.

“You would think that Harcourt
would dream up some new pro-
paganda. But no. In his ‘‘Dear
Friend” cpistle he assured me that

“the horror stories in the newspa-_ |

nothing flat, because they believe
that moncy grows on trees.

Medicare has been largely ruined .

,in the U.K. — the country that was
‘the mother of Medicare — because

the demands madc on it have been _
} too great, It’s what happens when
we get to thinking that Big Brother

a "everlasting life.

activities.

The vote factor again. Shame on
you, Slam. I thought you had
more balls than that.,

Further signs of the times:

Mr. Richard Park of Vancouver
has sent me a copy of a cheque he .
received from Houschold Trust.
“Please note,"’ he wrote, ‘that
French comes first on the cheque.

“*Although this company has the
best interest rates in town,”’ he

went on, ‘I withdrew my funds.

But not before I let it know that it
is bad enough to have French
rammed down my throat by lousy
politicians. Things have surely

* reached a new low when English.
‘companies have started doing the

same thing."’
ene

‘A good point, Mr. Park. But .

. there is no limit to our funacies.
“Consider: In Montreal, a deserter:

from the Mexican army has been |

' granted refugee status: This even
