Saturday parade -Just Horsing After dragging her heels for what seemed an eternity Kim Campbell final ly set an election date. There is no doubt that this year's election race is sure to be an interesting one. The election, in fact, should be comparable tothe Kentucky Derby. The Tories' golden filly, Kim Campbell has an advantage, but only by a nose. Her lead could disappear in the blink of an eye. She was fast out of the gate, and so me say had an unfair head start. There is big money backing her, and this hias neyer hurt-anyone. The waiting-in-the-stable-for- too-long Chretien threatens bo take the lcad. With a strong push in' the end lap, hie may be able to do just that. He is neyer far behind and remains a constant threat. His former nemesis hias been put to pasture and it could be his moment in thei sun, if only he -can beat out this newcomer. The relatively new to the circuit Reformi Party is fresh and lias strong bets in its favour. This horse started slow, but it is gaining in-, strength and popularity. It's reputation is not completely secure, but the gamblers are taking a chance. Because of its new presence it has flot had time to develop a tarnished reputation.1 Another horse, flot a new horse on the "Bloc", has been in the race before. But it has neyer placed well, and flot many will place their bets here. Its following is strong, loyal. This horse could take away some of the limelight, but flot enough to pose a serious threat. And, bringing up the rear... There i8 still hope for this horse. Some people believe in long- shots. Some even will place a- lot of money and faith on the table when it cornes to this horse. Others think it would be kinder to shoot this mare, who has seen better days. Once, flot long ago, this horse had promise. It was a light at the end of a dark tunnel. People were hoping that the stable had finally produced a grand prize winner. Their other horses had made strong showings, and had managed some CAW had harsh words Fri«day The national president of the Canadian Auto Workers, Buzz Hargrove was talking tough last Friday after receiving the first economic offer from the target car manufacturer, Chrysler. Hargrav e said the most troubling point is that the company has ignored the direction the union had taken on key issues. The president also has stated that unless the union key thrusts are addressed by Chrysler there is no way to avoid a strike which has been approved by the members of the union. Hargrave, has said the offer tabled by Chrysler was unaccep- table in terms of both the concepts it presented and in t he economic numbers. Although the president was about to discuss the issues he did say that the issue of early retirement was not covered in the offering. Chrysler on the other hand feit it was a reasonable offer and pointed out it was really conceptual at this point in the contract discussions. It was also felt that an agreement could be reached before any strike action would be taken. The strike deadline has been set at 11.59 p.m. as of Tuesday, Sept- ember l4th. The 1990 round of bargaining was the first timne la Canada in 30 years that there was no strike at Chrysler before a deal was reached. Busgrave said on-Friday that the union was in a sour mood at this point in time. powerful victories. But the stable has had some difficulties and this horse is unfairly carrying the problems in her saddle. The election will be a hard, fast race. t will also bc a gamble.
