Pagé 6; News, Tuesday; Octobér'23, 1990 Northern Insights Street Legal slight's Northern character continued from page 5 black bear gall bladders as Orientals, you would be justly accused of racial stereotyping. Instead, you feel you can get away with geographical racism- stereotyping northerners as igno- rant bushmen. Geographical racism like that is not in the Human Rights Code, but perhaps it should be. Northerners do not fit your stereotype, just like blacks, . women, or any other group. We do not condone child abuse, slaughter of games animals, or con games. Some of us are actu- ally proud to, live here, and have that success means making it in the " Baby Apple". If Street Legal were a news or current affairs program, I could ask for an on-air apology. Ina drama, that's not possible. All I ask is that you recognize your error now that it has been drawn to your attention, and make every effort in the future scripts to avoid geographical stereotypes, just like you avoid the racial ones. We do not fit your stereotypes, and resent greatly those who continue to propagate them.

I have always suspected Elvis is buying them up himself knowing they'll double in value the day he dies. But Mr. Holtmann has a point. We could have got more pieces of art for our money. In fact, I think if we had pur- chased the kind of art that cap- tres the imagination of most Canadians according to the stan- dards set by the' House of Commons Standing Committee on Communications and Culture, we could have had one painting for every man, woman and child in this country. . I'm talking about the grand-daddy of classic impressionist master works of which I have an 8' by 5' tapestry hanging majestically over my fireplace. Of course I'm talking about en? Playing Poker. Oh sure, go ahead and snicker but I've got the one where the bulldog who's drinking whiskey and smoking a cigar has the ace of hearts up his sleeve while the collie in the foreground is holding a near-perfect Royal Flush minus - you guessed it - the ace of hearts! The German Shepherd wearing the lederhosen is sneak- ing a peek at the hand of the Bassethound who's wearing the Harris tweed sports coat and busy stealing a fifty dollar chip from the pot. Great art should cause introspection and force questions of national importance. Voices Of Fire has done all of that. Any painting that can cause us to examine the relationship between pure, abstract aestheticism and pig farming is worth at least $1.76-million. Now why don't we just frame the Meech' Lake Accord, hang it in the national gallery and look at it for a couple of years. Garrity's Lounge Buffet Dinner & Dance Thurs.
