+ 3Although the proposed sale of public
shates was broached as early as August,
1977 by provinclal Liberal leader Gordon
Gibson In debate over the bill setting up the
BCRIC, the premier has taken the unortho-
idox:atep of giving B.C. taxpayers and their
‘families the chance to benefit directly from

conditions and the actual value of the shares

themselves fluctuate when listed on the
stock exchange next year.

tn essence, the provincial government

has laid its economic policles on the fine ina

demonstration of its confidence In the

-growth of B.C.’s resource industries. Just as

his government stands to gain voter support
should the value of the shares rise, the
premler runs the risk of losing. that support

It will be an exciting experiment. Given
a direct personal stake in the growth of thelr
economy, the new share owners will have a
better opportunity to evaluate the fiscal
decisions of their elected leaders.

Ending a Deadly Game

(An editorial in the Grand Forks Gazette.)

“We hope that with the ending of 1973
we will see the end of our deadly game of
“putting down Canada’’.

“tit Is 0 unfortunate that we, as
Canadians, have allowed to denl-

‘insinuate, to Ile, to color, and to have

” singular knowledge ot all that happens In

every waik of life as they see it In thelr puny
minds. They care nothing for truth, or

us because we have stopped thinking for

Citizen.)

QUEBEC PREMIER RENE.
Levesque is jumping the gun,
There are more than five years
to go until 1984 and the age of
newspeak, newthink, double-
talk and gibberish.

On his visit to “the Hull-
Ottawa area (it would have
been just Hull but the Gatineau
Airport was fogged in and the
diminutive demagogue had to
land in Ottawa, of all places),
Levesque managed to contort
his facts, history, economics
and logic in a blistering attack
on federalism that proved more
than anything that his destruc-
tive ideology is predicated on
half-truths, intellectual deceit
and a base appeal to prejudice.

THE QUEBEC PREMIER,
for example, riduculed the
federal government's program
to transfer government de-
partments and workers to the
Hull area. This, said Levesque,
may have brought bureaucrats
to the Quebec town, but what
good did it do for the social
fabric of the region?

His twisted line of reason
ing seemed to be that office
workers make no cultural or
economic contribution — what
would he rather have, unem-
ployed streétsweepers?

IN HIS “ANALYSIS” OF
the so-called world trend: to
“sovereignty-association" the
pompous premier firmly an-
nounced that, everywhere else
except Canada, the trend is

He Who Pays Piper Should Call Tune

(From columns: in the

I keep reading and hearing
that the U.S. is the most
powerful nation on earth, but I
don't believe it. (Neither do the
Russians, or the Cubans, or the
Chinese, or the Japanese, or
the nations of Western Europe.)
The Americans seem to me one

less people on earth—with

According to Needham:

HLL. Mencken: “The truth
is, as everyone knows, that the
great artists of the world are
never Puritans, and seldom
ever ordinarily respectable. No
virtuous man—that is, virtuous
in the YMCA sense—has ever
painted a picture worth looking
at, or written a symphony
worth hearing, or a book worth
reading, and it is highly im-
probable that the thing has
ever been done by a virtuous
woman.”

system that once existed. It is
aneffort by« dissimilar countries

When politicians set forth
to help the “less fortunate,”
they have two motives—(1} to
buy votes and (2) to create
well-paid jobs for bureaucrats
(whose votes they also count
upon.) But as time goes by, a
third motive presents itself—
the fear of mob violence. The
“less fortunate” get accustomed
to their weekly and monthly
handout, it's their "right;” if it's
taken away from them they'll
rise up in rebellion. That’s why

taking the offensive whenever
he is on the defensive. He has

not. Even though its separation
would mean the loss of a large

Rather than address him-

idea of a revised federalism, -f-
