AS akid, I saw what I then thought was a great movie. It fea- tured Nelson Eddie and Jeanette MacDonald. He in his red Mountie jacket, plus stetson, she gazing raptly into his eyes and

“Oh Rose Marie, I love you, {’m always, thinking of you,” was the theme song. With the Rockies in the background, if 1 remember correctly. And I believe that Eddie was a sergeant.

_ if they ever go in fora remake of that film, the characters will have to change. Sergeant Eddie has gone with the wind, replaced by Sergeant Harrish, a les- bian. Rose Marie has gone, too. Her successor is also a lesbian. ;

Lesbians abound these ‘days. They control the fem n:ovement, are thick in the university thought contro! sector, and are doing well in the Mounties.

You think [’m stretching a point? Not so. I read in the Vancouver Sun, which

Dear Editor: . This letter is in response to

reported it al! straight-faced, that Sergeant Patricia Harrish, a lesbian, had to pay damages to her former lover, also a lesbian and an RCMP officer (or officer- ess).

The story concerned an accident case in which the sergeant was driving and the other gal was injured. The name of the latter was Debra Hoimes.

The case was complicat- ed. But it was clear there had been a lot of back rub- bing, late-night parties, and bed joys.

It seems that the couple had had an intimate relation- ship for several years and the lesbian sergeant claimed that dear Debra (may | cali you Debbie?) had brought the action for damages so she could get even.

From the story, it was not clear who had scorned whom, but hell hath no fury

like an RCMP officer scorned,

Anyway, the steamy affair came to an end and the sergeant claimed that the plaintiff, Debbie, had broughi the case for dam- ages “to get even.”

There were other compli- cations. In Lesbos, as else- where, the green cye of the little jealous god can glow.

Debbie took a new lover, a woman who then entered into a new relationship with the sergeant. (1 told you this wasn’t simple.)

At the time of the 1988 Banff Olympics the fun-lov- ing Debbie and Pat “partied until the early hours before going to bed.” After that, Pat was driving Debbie to an airport and the accident occurred. Hence the claim for damages.

Debbie, you see, alleged that her back was hurt in the crash. But Pat told the judge that Debbie had always had a bad back and that she, Pat, had given Debbie numerous back rubs before their inti- mate relationship ended.

That’s today's Canada fur you, Doesn't it make you -feel good?

1 wonder what the old North West Mounted Police would have thought of it all? Did Sam Steele, who headed the Mounties at Fort Whoopup, now known as

Mt. Collins’ editorial in the 4

" . . Sunday, May 5, North Shore

News.

‘For. many years now, Doug Collins has been per- mitted to ridicule, belittle and

insult numerous cultures of °

our community without any consequences,

His writing symbolizes and’ promotes hatred which was most evident Sunday’s editorial. While ‘reading the article, as a North Shore resident, I felt offended and discriminated against.

His reference to Iranian candidates as “creeping cun- ce." and condescending “advice” is not only intolera- ble but simply disgusting! Furthermore, before classify- ing Iranian as a “racial bloc,” Mr. Collins should crack open a history book or two, and educate himself on the origins of the Iranian people.

The Arian race actually originated in tran. The word “Iran” means the land of the Arian, and word Ceucasian comes from a regies: tn sorth- west fran culled the Caucasus.

In July 1985, I immigrated to Canada with my family, and have been residing on the

North Shore since then. f .

have worked very hard to eam a respectable living, and through my efforts I have contributed to my community as a whole.

I am proud to be franian,

with a history and civilization that dates back more than 2,090 years. In addition to my lranian background { am aiso a proud Canadian, who has chosen this country for its many values, of which democracy is one of them.

Contrary to Mr. Collins’ assumptions, Iranian immi- grants did not come to Canada by boats, they did nut enter illegally, and they did not come here looking for hand-outs.

The majority have univer- sity degrees and are profes- sionals who have a substun- tial amount of intellectual and

financial wealth.

They have used this knowledge and wealth to con- tribute to society and creme many jobs in the Canadian economy.

Whether Doug Collins hikes it or not, the Iranian community will present some of the finest peaple running for office alongside other candidates. {ranian-Canad- ians have been able to exer- cise their heritage and easily integrate into sociecy. They have accepted their new nationality responsibly.

Contrary to Mr. Collins’

Calgary, ever imagine things would be whooped up this way?

Whatever, you can bet that the present situation is going to get more better, as they say in the South Sea Islands. Or more worse, depending on your point of view.

We have # prime minister who is dedicated to listening to the Debbies, Pats and Svends.

We have a party in power in Victoria that is even more dedicated to listening to them. Hence the new law on “discrimination.”

According to the polls, which I do not believe, most Canadians are in favor of not discriminating against homosexuals. But with fes- bian Mounties around there’s little danger of that happening.

More frifly little skirts for men. More loggers’ togs for women. More men loving boys loving men.

What a barrel of fun.

Oh, I nearly forgot. The judge awarded Debbie dam- ages to the tune of $244,371.

Aff together now: Oh Debbie dear, I love you, I'm always thinking of you!

It really could be a great movie. And Hollywood being the way it is, we'll probably get it.

As Canadian citizens, we all have the right to choose any political party to govern British Columbia; we do not seek any advice from Douy Collins or other individazis.
