JOHN MILTON had it wrong. In Paradise Lost he wrote that “hypocrisy is the only evil that walks invisi- * ble.’ But today hypocrisy shouts at us from every front page and TV screen. Forget, for the moment, whether you like or dislike separatists. Consider Jacques Parizeau's state- ment in which he said it was big money and the ethnic vote that defeated the Yes side. Of course it was. But you would have thought he had just told the biggest lie since Hitler claimed he had no more territorial ambitions. : The politically correct broke out in spots. Panic! Editorial viewing with alarm! CBC Radio put on some guy from the New York Times Video Service in Toronto who babbled on for five minutes about the wicked- ness of “nativism” and nationalism. (“Nativism” is a cuss word used by multiculters who favor turning Doug Collins _ on the Canada and the U.S. into a Tower of Babel.) On BCTV, Lord Tony referred to “the dark underbelly of intoler- ance.” Sheila Copps, the girl with the loudest gab in Parliament, com- plained that Parizeau wanted only whites. ft he did, so what? She, like the rest of the Liberal gang in Otawa wants anything bur whites. That's eee HI ina ll FSO pan. why they hitve just raised the immi- grant intike to 200,000-plus imms- grants, most of whom will be from Hong Kong, India, China, ete. Ail the country-wide criticisms to our immigration disaster are once again being ignored, And there won't be any referendum on that. Even the B.C. Retorm Party’s Jack Weisgerber couldn’t resist join- ing the politically correct throng. “Underneath the cool exterior of a separatist, beats the heart of a racist,” he was quoted as saying. Shame on him. But it was Mare Lalonde who came up with the most stupid com- ment, Parizeau, he said, was a fas- cist. Or drunk. This from a long-time Trudeau accomplice who helped to destroy what used to be known as English Canada. What do you call guys who did that? Lalonde wouldn't know a fascist if he saw one. It’s a funny kind of fascist who resigns when he doesn’t win a referendum. Parizeau was speaking the truth, than which there is s.£10 greater sin.

Wednesday, November 8, 1995 — North Shore News - 7 And truth breeds hypocrites the way a fallow field breeds weeds. Only idiots could deny that the French in Quebec voted massively for the Yes side and that most of the ethnics voted No. It’s voting by race. Which i is now going on right across Canada, just as predicted it would, 20 years - ago. And there’s more to come. Why do you think Raymond Chan was elected in Richmond? Because Richmond is 35% Chinese, that’s why. They backed their man. Why do you think Kin-Kong Wang won the Tory nomination for Vancouver South in 1993? Because he mustered masses of his people for his nomination meeting, that’s why. Why do you think East Indian Herb Dhaliwal was finally elected there? Because there is a large East Indian presence in the area. I's not racism when the minari- ties prefer their own kind, of course. That only happens when whites do it. Or speak it. Voting by race is also going on trut! in Toronto. But the media prefer to Jook the other way. The separatists have every right to want to keep Quebec French, And we would have every right to want to keep British Columbia “British.” Not that there’s any dan- ger of that happening. It’s too late, in any case. Where the Parizeaus go wrong is in wanting to break up this country. Haven’t they had things alf their own way? Haven't they had full control over immigration into Quebec from overseas since 1978? Haven't they had discriminatory language laws while we have bilingualism? Don’t they have their own pension plan? Don’t they have a French govern- ment and a French opposition? There’s no point in talking sense to them, of course. They are fanat- ics. But there's also no point in talk- ing nonsense to them. Which is why we should keep our traps shut about Quebec racism and why we should stop bitching when they speak the truth. 2 es & SON .
