GaottomActanWdnMdavApnl27 Only in Canada you say Bill by Bill Smiley Only in Canada Pity But where in the rard could you have a situation in international oil price are dropping white national prices for gasoline and heating oil move higher This anomaly of was a result of ferocious and frantic efforts by provincial a federal government to tax everything but the air we breathe The tack is to find something that every body needs and that is steadily rising in cost and then slap a progressive tax on It That my friend is the reason youre pay ing about 1323 a gallon for gas when the sheiks of are up to their navels in a glut of unwanted oil Should we ever have a massive Sahara- type drought in this country guess what your governments will tax heavily Water Right on If every cow in Canada suddenly stopped giving milk you could depend on a stiff tax on and cheese If the Western provinces had a total grain disaster hailed out rained out rusted out chewed up by grasshoppers the logical move by government would be to stick a tax on bread that would rise automatically every time the price went up Only in Canada Where else in the world would a government try to bribe people to read a book by making used lottery tickets worth cents on purchase of a Canadian book ft incredible and readers in other countries must be chortling but its done in Ontario So much for our cultural pretensions Only in Canada In what other country would a political party turf out a leader who had a clear mandate from twothirds of his party to carry on An in what benighted country anywhere would a dozen or so idiots leap to fill tha discarded leaders shoes knowing full well they could expect the same treatment just down the road Only In Canada Can you imagine any Andflnailylnwhatcountryintheworld other democratic country In tbe world is it possible to have a cold at any day where the head of government could give week or month of the year the finger lo some of his people tell some others to eat merde utter obscenities In Only in Canada Pity parliament and still be reelected Only in Canada In what other country in the world is everything printed in two languages and when you go shopping the language in which you are feeble is the one that presents itsetr to you en every pack age every tube every box I swear that when go shopping they are con fronted with the English aide on every box etc Only In Canada Can you imagine another country that steadily destroys lush productive farmland by turning it Into asphalt and urbansprawl or tearing it up for gravel pits to create more asphalt more urban sprawl Think of the hue and cry there would be in France or Italy If the government not only condoned but encouraged the rip ping up of vineyards to build hamburger stands and gas stations and motels with Jumpy beds and exorbitant rates Only in Canada another country in the world that decided any building more than Go years old should succumb to the wreckers ball be razed and be re placed by a tasteful concrete- block and plastic abortion Other countries preserve their heritage carefully and often expensively restoring old castles ancient city walls cathedrals country homes Here we wipe them out say Oops and rebuild them as quaint restorations with all the artifacts of the original but with all modern ac coutrements Only in Canada are authors considered as secondclass citizens who dont really work for a living singers as inferior un less theyve played Vegas actors as malcontent long hairs who should get a job ballet dancers as people dancing about In long underwear and our national broadcasting system as a socialist drain of the taxpayer Only in Canada can the government seize private companies without any ex planation or compensation 100 police raid a organization and seize all its papers on the flimsiest of evidence and politicians get up and He and lie and lie without any repercussions Oh Im not naive I know this sort of thing is going on every day all over the world But in democratic countries Only in Canada Look at Quebec In a lovely bit of Irony the teachers who had more to do with electing the Parti than any other group are now facing that party snarling calling it fascist beating Its cabinet ministers over the head with placards Only in Canada Monteith Dear Sir therefor holding a reunion for all
