The OHC and many individuals and groups agree that the families whose income is not up to the econâ€" omic level necessary for selfâ€"sustainâ€" ed living in an expensive Western {netropolis should be housed decentâ€" y. The OHC, the majority of the Metropolitan Toronto _ Executive Committee and various newspapers have accused residents raising a fuss of being snobs. Well, exactly what is wrong with being a snob? Is it not the right of the individual to be a snob ?

He has sent to his constituents a questionnaire secking their opinion on various matters that are of a federal nature. ‘"Does increased automation enâ€" danger your job security?" question It is refreshing to see a delegate of the people finding out what the people think and want.

At my request, a friend who has been spending winter in Ottawa dropped over to my house to tell exactly what this Dorion mess was all about. After he had taken a few gulps, (you can always tell how close your friends are by the number of guips they take), he started to unfold the long tail of intrigue and romance that encompassed the affair. According to him it is Lucien Rivard that the RCMP is looking for and not Fred Dorion. My friend we shall call X because his high position in some office would be harmed by discussing the sordid business of Fred‘s Report. Anyway, to get on with the story, according to X, things were pretty hot anywhere from the Experimental Farm oa the east side,of Ottawa right on through to Labrador if your name was Guy. It did not matter whether you pronounced it in French or English it all boiled down to the same thing â€" treuble. Rather like Air Canada; it doesn‘t much matter how you pronounce that ejther. X explained that this chap called Guy Favreau heard about a little hankyâ€"panky going on in Montreal. Actually it was happening in Ottawa but since there aren‘t any night clubs there it is nicer to think of it going on in Montreal. Well, this chap who was a secretary (the flat chested varâ€" iety who has to shave every morning) apparently told this guy up in Montreal called Pierre the Squeeler that he‘d ,hro him 20,000 bananas . . . oh now don‘t get that conâ€" used with Joe Banana, even John Diefenbaker can‘t keep them straight . . . anyway be offered him all this money to say that Fre . . . I mean Lucien Rivard wasn‘t really a bad guy, I mean a bad Lucien, and he might as well soak up a little night life before deciding whether to send him back from whence he came, ie. the United States of America. According to the original version of Fred‘s report it says Guy told Lester about this but in Lester‘s version it says he did not know a thing about it until sometime late in November and by then he was feeling in the Christmas spirit so he just said. "I‘ll drink to that" This gets a little confusing but X was very patient with me and so I will continue. TO HAL WITH iT Well it appears that some fink told someone that the flat chested secretary had offered this bribe and Guy said something like "Oh to Hal with it" You wouldn‘t even have to be reading about this if the guy called Erik from somewhere up in the Yukon had not stood up in the House of Commons and asked what it was all about. like Guy F. said, he just should have come to his office and they could have discussed the matter over a cup of tea. But Erik is some kind of a fink and a publicity seeker so he stood up anyway. So Lester said, "Ok Erik we‘ll look into it." Well, the Liberal party looked around for some one that had the Latin for the Judgin‘ and they eventually decided to put this chap named Fred Dorion on their payâ€" roll. As we all know Fred didn‘t know which side his bread was buttered on. The odd irrelevant issue reared its ugly head while Fred was having cartoons of him drawn at his public hearâ€" ings in Montreal. Like Yvon supposedly did a little dipsyâ€" doodling with & raceâ€"track franchise in his riding. Lester was a bit queasy at this point and got him out of the cab inet as Minister without portfolio. If he had been thinking he would have made Yvon (this is another one of those flat chestedâ€"shave every morning types) Minister of Race Tracks. Everything could have been smoothed over bea‘ tifully and that would have been the end of that. only meet the selfâ€"respecting eustomer and not the Orien tal who was exploited while building the trans Canada railroad . Meantime, _ prospec‘s _ for Canadians to travel abroad DRAMA AND INTRIGUE Then the Joe Bananas deal came up. No one has the foggiest notion what he has to do with it except the RCMP were hunting for him too, and by this point the Canadian public thought that if the RCMP was on anyone‘s tail they just had to be mixed up with Fred‘s hearings. Well, there was lots of drama and intrigue in the courthouse when Fred was in the driver‘s seat, but 10 one could follow it. At least in England they have men and women in their scandals and it becomes not only easier but much more interesting to follow. C As Denis and Rouleau, Masson and Gignac became evâ€" eryday words in Canada along with a few other guys it came out that someone in Montreal was having a furniture sale and Maurice Lamontagne, not to be corfused with Pierre Lamontagne, took advaniage of the deals offered. And like a fool he forgot to get receipts for his purchases so he couldn‘t take them back. It really was a pity because some people in the House of Commons sat on this furniture and sort of married it, you might say. THE DAY IT HIT Then came the day Fred‘s report hit Parliament Hill and everyone went racing to their dictionaries to find out what the word reprehensible meant and according to the dictionary it means deserving censure. Censure means to condemn or ctilicice severely or reprehense. Big Guy didn‘t hit the reprehensible list but he said this position is a bit hot so make me minister of Fisheries or something like that. lester stood up in the House of Commons and said Guy was the only good Guy there was and although he was beyond reprehension he would accept his resignation beâ€" cause the government would be criticized for wasting paper if he did not. Then the fun began. Lester ard Guy ganged up against Fred and said Fred did not know what he was talking about. Guy did a little explaining over the telegraph system so Fred finally cluing on that he might be a little short of cash if he didn‘t do something quickly. sent one of his oeâ€"hovs to Oftawa to make a couple of changes and pick up the cheque. Now we skip a few months to let the tension build. Everybody begins to wonder what is going to happen to the status of Metro and a few Viet Namiese and Americans exchange blows, a bunch of hoods start a street fight in Santa Domingo. and people get concerned about who Luci Johnson is going out with. Then some Johnnyâ€"comeâ€"Jaiely in Otiawa spills the beans about what Fred has in his report. This of course causes a flurry because no one knows how he got the inâ€" formation. If Fred had kept his mouth shut it would have died down but he said that Guy has hit the nail on the head. So everyone in Oftawa runs around in a flap wondering how this chap got the inside dope. Rivard could not have supplied it because by this time he had a chain letter going around the world and Mrs. Rivard was baving her picture taken with loving words from Lucien. Of course by this time no one cared where Lucien was because the rinks at the Bordeaux Jail had beén replaced by ball diamonds and he was a better flooder than raker. Everyone deserves a rest on Parliament Hill, X thinks. It‘s been a long hard session. And it will give all the party leaders a chance to tour the country and make elecâ€" tion speeches for the election that won‘t be called. Beâ€" cause the leaders will find no ond has the slightest idea of what the parliamentarians have been doing for the last vear. Evervone is happy. The Prairie farmers have their new Eatons Catalogue, and evervone in the east is too busy with the stock exâ€" chanee to worry about guys jumping bail â€" â€" The RCMP were a bit slighted if Fred‘s report. It stated that the RCMP sent out an English speaking investiâ€" gator to interview French people. I think Fred was a bit unjust about this because the Roval Commission on Biâ€" ligualism and Biculturalism has not been tabled yet and how are the RCMP supposed to know what to do? There hasn‘t been any government policy statement on whether to ignore the French, tolerate them or cow tow to them. $6 they obviousty sent the first redâ€"coat they could find. _ We want Profumo, we want Profumo (with Christin®e of course)‘ by Frazer Cache are. join the US. conscript style excursion destined for Viet Nam.
