The Supreme Soviet, the standing parliament, voted overwhelmingly in favor law — a key plank of Soviet President Mikhail Gorbachev's perestroika political and economic reforms. The legislation effectively allows farmers to chose between working on a collective or a private farm. It will be up to Soviet and autonomous republics to decide how the land is to be distributed. The land will be given away free, but owners will then have to pay an annual land tax. Last year, Gi by radical deputies of a slide towards dictatorship.

He made the obseryation during a speech to a Progressive Conser- vative fundraiser. Crosbie also took pot-shots at the NDP and MP Sheila Copps, who is running for the leadership of the Liberal party. “Reminds me of an old song: Pass me the tequila, Sheila and lie down and love me again,"’ he said to laughter. “We aren't going to be satisfied until we have cleansed Vancouver Island from the pestilance that now affliets us,"’ he added, in reference to the fact New Democrats hold all six Vancouver Island federal seats. But Crosbie also admitted the Conservative party’s current poor standing in the polls means Prime Minister Brian Mulroney won't likely call an election for some time.
