i mailbox Blame everything Liquor store staff worried on Bill Bennett! Dear Editor: ico City, the local food banks (because the higeardly Socred government won’t give the hospitals and education everything they. ask for) - who is to blame? Need you ask. Premier Bill Bennett and the Social Credit govern- ment, of course. All you have.to do is listen to some of Vancouver's radio and TV moderators and read _our local newspaper colum- nists and you'll be assured that the Social Credit govern- ment is-to blame for everything - including the flooding of the Upper Levels highway. That deadly motor pile-up east of Abbotsford recently, of course the government was to blame, and specifically the Highways Minister Alex Fraser, and you. have the word of. a Vancouver openliner who, in fact, called for the Minister’s resigna- tion; despite the RCMP's ex- oneration. of the Highways Department. . ~ Gross voting irregularities in the last civic election - whose fault? Ofcourse. The Socred government’s fault.

You guessed it! Bill Bennett's fault, according to a local newspaper columnist. After all, Bonner was a Ben- nett appointee. So it’s all the government’s fault. Hundreds of Canadian tourists stranded in Hawaii when their air carrier was grounded for lack of safety precautions. Need you ask? Of course it was the Social Credit’s fault for not inter- vening sooner and élamping down on SPIA and Century Tours which sold the package. The Socred govern- ment should have had a crystal ball. Incredible indeed are the devious.mental gymnastics of certain of our (leftist) media hypes. who can always be relied upon to twist everything, in the final analysis, to foist the blame on Bill Bennett and the Social Credit government no matter how outrageous, absurd, far- fetched and ridiculous..
