The- Canadian Cham'pion, Friday, July 21, 2ffl -7 Aswinging Clark spig back oife F'eel strongly ele av ou a'.e Politics. To borrow the old Clauck Berry saw, it goes to, show you neyer can tell. Just when you sbougbs the old man was dead in the water, Joe Clark springs back to life. Witb his dukes up. Swinging. They're aimed as the pcrpetually smiley mug of Canadas newess political leader, Stockwell Day. For anyone - which is virsually everyone, as far as 1 can tell - who missed the wbole Canadian Alliance juggemsut, the parsy's top dog is easy to spot. The only thing he enjoys more than jogging or rollerblad- ing is back-pedaling quickly to beat the crazy notion that he'll impose bis moral eye view on Canadian law. Those have hlm standing againas abortion, for capi- tal punishment, for stricter sentencing and either for or againat govemnment funding for religious achools, no one seems sure. Ali that standing is apt to make a man's feet tired. Yet his task la a breeze compared to old Joe, who has been busy doing tbings like standing in the way of change, or standing up against the inevitable. Give hlm points for trying. Firat Joe attempted to smear somte fresh make-up on the old paety's face by trotting his comely daughter around wberever he went. If possible, she's even more smiley than Day is, altbougb being younger, she bas an excuse. But witb ber deciding to leave daddy's side to take a job in Toronto, Mr. Clark bas bad to lind a new pas- time, wbicb is to irritate Day by making like Clint Eastwood. 1 like it. I like westerns. Fin boping if I ever inter- view Joe, be'll lead off by saying, "Weil, sbucks, us' am." I like bis cowboy bat. 1 like bis snappy new à. A Gentie persuasion speca. Who says Joe stands in the way of change? it was probably ever thus in politica, but the federal scene bas been a cross between a bloody shoot-out and an Oprab make-over lately. The gorleat figbt was that between Canadian Alliance founder Preston Manning and public opinion. It seemed almoat no one wanted to see the respected statesman in a singlet. As a result, he was ssripped of the leadership of the party be created not once, but twice. Then tbere's Day's rigid belief systeru versus credulity. Oops, did I say that? So maybe old Joe just decided it was time for a Clark versus Day shoot-out. I tbink be figures the smiley guy's trigger finger la tired. Ali this and the credits haven't stopped rolling. There's stilI another PM4PM in the wings - Paul Martin in a bloodlesa coup againat the apparently sleep-walking Jean Chretien. Most people tbink this is the moat appropriate politi- cal switcberoo to ensure Day doesn't roIler blade int the Prime Minister's office when no one's looking. For sheer entertainment value, shougb, wbo wouldn't like to see the wily old Chretien kick the grin off Day in a ion-off, ski-off, or truck lifting event? Al this federal fun leads one to wonder what Milton can expect in its own littie showdown this November. Karate-kicking Krantz? Barry Lee whip- ping across council chambers like Bruce Lee? Cindy Lunau asking challengers to 'bring it on, punk?' A made-over Art Melanson sporting new hair, new glasses and Reebok sandals? My only regret is that the provincial round is over.
