Most men are
slaves by nature Aristotle.
In case you didnt
notice, it was the PCPs who won the
election. Theyre everywhere. Under
the beds, in the closets, and in the
corridors of power.
Who are they? They are
the Liberals, who ran the dirtiest
campaign in living memory; they are the
Tories, who under Joe Clark are also
Liberals; they are the NDP, who believe
that Karl Marx still breathes, and,
sadly, they are the Controllers of the
Alliance.
The PCPs are the
Politically Correct Party, which won
hands down. Once upon a Day (if I may
use that term), a lot of people hoped
that the Alliance would be different.
But it is not.
I voted Alliance, so my
quibbles come with regret. But as I
joked to a friend, I would have voted
for bloody Hitler if it meant getting
rid of M. Cretin & Co.
The tone was set by the
egregious Elinor Caplan, a Jewish gal
who ranted on about the Alliances
racists, bigots and
holocaust-deniers, which in other
circumstances would constitute hate
speech. (Remind me to make a complaint
to the human rights maniacs.)
Whether she thought of
that stuff herself or whether it sprang
from Warren Kinsella is hard to say. But
he used similar tactics when he ran
unsuccessfully in North Vancouver in the
previous election, and in the recent
dust-up he was chief plotter in the
Liberals war room.
What matters, however,
is not so much that dirt that was cast
around by the cartload, as that the
Alliance ran for cover. It purged the
party of anyone deemed to be
incorrect and it was more willing
to talk about Creationism, for Gods
sake, than immigration, the greatest of
the unmentionables, of which there were
many.
Day did say he would do
something about the phony refugee
racket, but the Liberals pay lip service
to the same thing even though it is
their baby, born out of wedlock.
The Alliance fell down
in a dead faint after candidate Betty
Granger in Winnipeg had the temerity to
refer to the Asian invasion, to Tamil
terrorists in Toronto, and to refugees
coming off boats who were not the
best clientele you would want for this
country.
Aint it the truth? |
