Georgetown Acton Tuesday Dec 211982 RES A vanti Canadienses theyre after the baby bonus That was quite a pang of alarm that lurched through the country recently when Finance Minister lalonde had the temerity to suggest that one of our great Canadian institutions the baby bonus was not untouchable that he might siphon It from those who don need it Finance ministers in the Liberal government- like to rattle our chain once In a while Maybe it just for the pleasure of hearing the great grumb- lingroarthatensues Much like a small boy teasing a big bear securely at ached to a stout post or in a cage He can always Jump back pretending he was brave but actually scared out of his wits at his own temerity Lalondc might just as well have sounded an airraid siren then when the whole nation Liberals and all turned on him pretended he was only kidding Just a substitute warden who had pressed the wrong button MacEachen did it a year ago in little grunts and squeaks that hinted Income tax might not possibly at some time in the future if the event arose after due consideration and with malice toward none be indexed to inflation That would have given the government mil lions and millions of funny money to play its own brand of monopoly He Was howled at his ancestry In voked hia personal life scarified and his political neck put on the block be fore cooler heads Intervened and said by Bill Smiley he should merely be boiled in oil cod liver as befits his origins Me for the Bahamas where there is no income tax was the cry But trial balloons have a habit of be coming lead ballons securely fastened around your neck and mine so keep an eye on those serpents I dont know how you can do both but I always liked mined metaphors Many a serpent has sent up a trial balloon How about the cobra which puffs up his neck and then hits you when youre admiring his lack of jowls Anyway a how of rage went up from everyone including his Liberal mem when Lalonde dared to hint that the baby Bonus was not sacrosanct He withdrew his heavy hand like a infant Doesnt he know that the entire Liberal party owes its life to the Baby Bonus Old Mac King the most popular leader this longsuffering coun try ever suffered saved his neck and his party by introducing it Never mind that Ann Murray Pierre Trudeau EP Taylor and Conrad Black among other millionaires have collected It The Baby Bonus is one of the great bulwarks of Canadian life and any politician who trifles with It Is risking his own political life Ever since Its inception concep tion the Baby Bonus has been more important In this country than a flag a national anthem or a new constitution And you don t have to be bilingual to get it For years the average Canadian family has used it for something sen like a case of beer a carton of fags Some weirdos who didnt need the cash actually Invested It for their education At five per cent Might as well have bought some beer or donated It to the Sally Ann Inflation swept it away Id hate for my children to be trying to go to university on the proceeds of their Baby Bonus They might finish first term first year Point Is that the Baby Bonus or whatever they call it now has always been right up there with The Long Weekend The FiveDay Week Only on Saturday Nights and The First of July in the hearts of trueblue Canadians Now how long are we going to put up with this chipping away at our national institutions At one end theyre after the Baby Bonus At the other theyve already cut off The First of July and by some benighted process turned it Into Canada Day Now theres a name to send a shiver of pride down the bowed spine of every redblooded Canadian Canada Day Just roll it around on your tongue a few times No puking allowed Canada Day Try it again Canada Day Maybe it doesnt quite come up to Guy Day or Bastille Day or Washingtons Birthday But It does have a ring to it It rings like tapping a doughnut You 11 have noticed that France cele brates France Day Germany Ger many Day England England Day and Hayfork Centre Hayfork Centre Day Its only logical that our parliament 80 per cent absent ten per cent drunk should pass a bill to name our only tlonal holiday and be supported by a supine Senate with such a striking title I must admit the new name gives me a real gut feeling for my homeland Same kind of gut feeling that an over dose of milk of magnesia gives me By gad sirs I ve ought the new flag the metric system the bollocks of a constitution the national anthem and the Insolence of the womens lib move ment Am I to fight on alone WU1 no
