Night of reckoning

EVENGE IS SWEET. But don’t ruin your teeth on too much sugar because before too many moons have passed you’re going to need them for a bit of gnashing. Mark my words.

because there’s no real dif- ference between Liberalism and Sociahsm anyway, and Ed and John can hold hands in mutual frustration.

As it is, John might even get to patting Ed’s bum, lona not being around.

As f’ve said before, Mulroney is nothing but a Liberal in a blue suit (an original phrase of mine which has now been stolen by some bum on the CBC) and as far as true Tory politics is con- cerned we can expect little or nothing from him. If I’m wrong about that, I'll let you write a letter to the editor. But I predict that he'll down the Anglos and line Quebec’s pocket just as much as the

But i’m sort of glad he got in, if only because his victory confounded the pollsters and the dumber sec- tions of the media.

The night his party died, the TV pundits were holding forth about how the debate was the turning point in his fortunes. But they were wrong again. The turning point came even before the election was called. People were sick of the Liberals, and the clincher was the patronage scandal. Everyone knows that.

Trudeau played Brutus to Turner’s Cassius, and the final proof is that Liberal candidates Jost in all of the 17 ridings whose former members accepted Pierre's big plums.

There are other occasions for lip-smacking, especially the demise of Judy Erola, who thinks men are monkeys and gave $50,000 to the crazies of Media Watch. There will of course be a new Judy Erola who will probably

‘Useful idiots’!

Dear Editor: Congratulations to Doug Collins on his disclosure of the booklet ‘‘The Peace Movement and the Commu- nist Party of Canada’’ Reading of this should be mandatory for all those ‘‘peace makers’’ of all sorts. 1 am sure the editor of this

booklet is worthy of their confidence. { would like to remind

them of another source of wisdom: Comrade Lenin. He claimed that propaganda must be sly, indirect, mis- leading and, wherever possi- ble, leaked through the unaligned and non-commit- ted. He also described peo- ple who are not really Com- munists, but who have some sympathies for Marxism and Communism, as ‘‘useful idiots”’

In this category have a proper place all those peace movements in the West, they are actually directed only to the West and never get over the Iron Curtain. ‘Useful idiots’’ -- this is not mine but the great Lenin’s description Patrick Neuman North Vancouver

give them twice as much.

Not so good was that Lloyd Axworthy made it, he having bribed his way in with 800 million of your bucks.

But revenge is still sweet.

West Van helps the handicapped

Dear Editor: that there should be such parking made available, and said he would see it was done.

To my surprise, when |

ent to the Park the follow- fing day, I found that Mr. Kim had already seen to it that a space reserved for the disabled had been painted.

] would like to extend my thanks to Mr. Kim and to the West Vancouver Parks and Recreation Facility for such speedy service. I look far- ward to seeing more disabled people enjoying the beach. Jeff Schermbrucker (Special Services Childcare Worker)

l am writing to you in regard to the courteous and speedy service by Mr. Won Kim, the Superintendent of Parks and Recreation for West Vancouver.

As someone who works with the disabled, I have become very aware of some of the problems associated with being in a wheelchair, and it was for this reason that | approached Mr. Kim about the possibility of having parking for the disabled at Ambleside Park installed. Mr. Kim was in agreement
