On behalf of the many patrons of this establishment, I know of no worthier way to express my thanks for many a delightful evening, spent in good company, than by my tribute which follows. Should Amid Amt-tame Be Forgot? We Mere Not! Ah, so. A brovlnclal election. Goody, goody. Neat. Just what we _ need to liven up the spring. A Of course. we shouldn't act surprised. what with PC pumpkin Frank Miller handing out economic tricks and treats last week like so much candy on Hauowe'eu. And yes, Matilda, you see there is a reason why local candidates have been campaigning door~to-door since mid-January. And no, it's no coincidence that within eight hours of Monday's election announcement, the first of an endless barrage of hype was being deposited at your door. It's called the game. The Game. A machine that hasn't needed a major overhaul in four decades needs a fresh mandate. And will get it. Jump on the bus, Gus. Shake a new hand, Stan. Be sure to be coy. Roy. Just get yourself votes. But while the result of the province- wide survey is already established. the local race shapes up as a beauty with Waterloo North Liberal incumbent Herb Epp. an honorable. knowledgeable poli- tician, squaring off against PC Lynne Wooistencroft, short in height, friendly in personality, long on last name, political savvy, and campign backing, and at the ready to pounce. It is to be presumed. we presume. that the NDP and any number of coat tailers will submit a candidate to keep the other two on their toes, but surely this shapes up a battle royale between the champion and fast-rising challenger. Could be one of the best match-ups in the entire province, for that matter. Naturally, we voters will want to be informed as to who the most worthy candidate and party will he to carry our colors. And the best way to find that out is to ask questions. When candidates or their workers lobby you in your lobby, or perch on your porch. be ready with questions for your two, er three, er maybe six vote- chasers. Ask about job creation, the future for our future generations, job security. abortion and its relation to the criminal code, environmental issues, affirmative action, school funding. the Bovey report. stupid beer strikes, neat stuff like that. Of course, the problem is, any good politician will be ready with a response to those obvious-type questions. So before things get really boring and redundant. here's just a few other questions you might ask of particular candidates. . Why doesn't Frank Miller wear his classy plaid sportcoats anymore, sport- coats that the people can identify with? Why does he always wear dark suits now that he's the boss? Isn't plaid good enough? ls Frank secretly dying to go back to plaid? Does he wear his plaid underneath those boring Tory Blue business suits? How do the people of Bracebridge feel about all this? . Does 'rtaking the high road" mean what we think it means? Does it mean candidates are wimps who want to avoid WATERLOO CW. MMWY. MARCH pr, I“ - W , Questions C Rick Can-M . Chronicle Educ! confrontation at all cost? Where are the politicians with backbone, ready to take a good. oid-faahioood swipe at their toes? Amwe going to have to put up with stupid eiectionisms like “sacred trust," “taking the high road," “image rather than substance," "the people have spoken" and other tripe like that? Wouldn't it be mireshing to have a poor loser tor a change? A real gutterbali? o What will be this election's equiva- lent of the federal eleetion's stupid "Bum Wrap"? Will candidates willingly pose for a picture with a new toy, then complain they lost the election because the media made a farce of the issues? Who will be the first campaigner to foolishly trust a reporter's eonfidetr tiality? Which candidate will be the first. to howl "misquoted" or "out of con- text," or "that was said off the record, therefore it's not true, or, maybe i said it but l didn't mean it, or, you reporters are all trying to take bread out of my six kids' mouths." Can the Bum Wrap be improved upon? Will provincial watch- dogs label the improvement obscene? q Why does anyone want to become a politician. when it means you can't visit a strip Joint halfway across the world, and ean't smoke up at your own parties, and can't hire your friends without being accused of being like pigs at a public trough. and can't admit that hell, the guy across the floor is doing a helluva job and more power to him? Do politicians have to be politicians? Can't they just be humans? . Will anyone be able to tell David Peterson and Bob Rae apart during the election? Are they this election’s Bobsey twins? Will anybody ask David Peterson why he promises us the world when we only ask for Canadian beer at the supermarket, the chance to make upour own minds on things, and a place to work and a place to play? Or is that the world? oWhy has the NDP taken so long to bring forward a candidate? Are they running someone they don't want to run? Aren't they not running someone who didn't want to run? Haven't they heard of the short straw method? Will it be a student? A grown-up Rhino? Is the Humanist party lurking? Any indepen- dents? Yoo-hoo, come out, come out, wherever you are! q Will the candidates be as cordial to the media after the election? Will the day ever come that a vanquished candidate will kiss a baby 10 minutes after the candidate has been smoked by 10,000 votes? Should we take our cross- words to all-candidates meetings, or can we expect cross words for a change? o If I write a super nice column about the person I think will win the election, will they promise me a patronage position? I want to be Ontario's High Commissioner to Myrtle Beach. There you. go, every question you ever wanted to ask, and more. You’re wel- eomerhappy voting.
