I Corne with us now, five floors below street level at Queen's Park 'We step off the elevator and here we are: Mke's l9th Green. Those who lbilow.history wii remember that this secret hideaway began life underý the Bob Rae government. Then it was known as the Furore. Bunker. That's because of the great« amount of 'furore' caused by many 0f Bob Rae's policies. Bob and his cabinet and caucus would hide out down here for days, drinking apple juioe and reading NDP Party policy papers for laughs. Then things changed. 'We'il have no nïeed of that nonsense" Mike Harris said after bis election as Premier. 71 have been elected on a platform 0f Common Sense.,'The people, who are also the voters, have spoken. SÃ" we won't need te bide from anybody." Hey, that's pretty straightforward. You want an update from Mr. Harise? Here he cornes new. Ask him. "Do I like the change' Harris replies. "Gosh, yes. We ripped out. ail the old offices down here, made one big dining room, opened it up to ail sorts of Conservatîve cabinet members." Se, Mike, what is that rope you're carrying? Seems strange for a Premier. "Well,, yes. But if I just give it«a tug her" . .. gives the rope a jerk .. . "you'll see Irve got Dave Tsubouchi in tow, like a preschooler's toy duck. Isn't that right, Dave7' "Quckquack." "Now Dave's corne up with some good ideas, and he's learned a lot. Anything new you'd like te try, Dave?" 'Well, quack, you must admit that my shopping list got a lot of attention. Sure, some people thought it was a lot 0f bologna." "Tes," says Mike, "even I admitted it wasn't bigh in taste and dining pleasure. But say, Quack Dave, we gotta go." "You have te admit that shopping liet went over well with our voters. And hey! who're we here to please anyway7' "Dave, you're learning. Now lets go see what's on the menu."9 "Hey, Mike! I got this great idea. Why'don't we set up the menu here based on my shopping list? That way we'd eut coste, show everybody. .. " With one jerk on the rope, Mike and his party are gone. But who's this now? "Name's Palladini. Have Car, Will Travel. Har, har!" Yes, Mr. Palladini, just a couple of questions, if you don't mmnd. 'Well, I do. And how did you get down here? Mike's 19th Green is neserved for cabinet. You're flot even supposed te know it's here." We wene just aoing a tour oîr tne Dullamg. "Hey, security. Take these people out and shoot thein, will you? Somehow they got past the concrete barricades." "No don't shoot Il go quietly I'm neally a coward." "Sure. Too late. But it's policy. How're we gonna make this province safe for speeders if we don't go after the likes 0f you?"9 Whimper, Whimper. Please no please no please bey I recognize.that guy getting off the elevaten. Tbat's what's bis naine, Bob Runciman, hes. .. he's something, yeah he's the guy who runs the new parole board, 1%e Death Squad, yeah, he's the one. "That's me. Killer Bob."
