i su chretien had educational epiphany weekender saturday december 13 1997 p 5 dear editor finally some good news about ontario and canada seems mr chre tien is interested in education interest ed in pumping money into education interested in lots of educating things things that educate like crazy but no where is there a mention of more or bet ter trained teachers thatll be a relief to mike the knife hes just got the precious 160 through the legislature and the last thing he wants is to hear from the feds he has to hire more teachers the teachers are use ful its true but not for teaching i know its a far stretch but lets assume all politicians are not honest and fair and concerned for moral integrity that some of them dont sit around reading the paeidea report as an evenings enter tainment lets assume some even want i blush to say money if this improbable case scenario is remotely true the true func tion of the teachers is their pension plan teachers pension plan in ontario is worth some reputed 51 billion dollars recently in response to a sug gestion that harris and the hatchet guys might be mildly stimulated by the thought of enough money to pay down the debt not just the deficit enough money left over to buy lamborghinis for all the cabinet members and still enough to suggest the feds might approach ontario ministers sometime next year through a snowstorm and on their knees our man in the room stated with great sincerity taking money from the pension fund would be against the law our man has not been paying close attention but harris and the happy hooligans as in those who not only dont obey the laws of the land but rewrite them according to whim see filibustering as an antiquated mode of parliamentary entertainment on that have been paying close attention very close attention to the bottom line of all those teachers who go to sleep at night contentedly sure of a few more years in the sawmill before a very lucrative retirement harris might just might want to get his hands on some or most of even stay with me on this one all of the pension fund of the teachers of ontario and smack dab dang me if he hasnt about done it but today i find out mr chretien has experienced an educational epiphany on the road to the bank and he too wants to preside over take more charge directly in the future of our country our citi zens our childrens education and of course the more much more than 51 bil lion the combined provinces of canada have in reserves for those no longer necessary or important parasites on gov ernment funding for education the teachers well here comes chretien and even if he doesnt go directly after the bottom line hell have harris bottom in a sling harris having downloaded all other apparent responsibilities of governing the province outside of compulsory ser vice on golf courses and expensive important retreats with family and a few close friends in boco ratan to those miserly mean municipalities who now snap and growl at the mention of his name having divested himself of every thing from ambulances to fire trucks in exchange for education may find the feds walking in swiping up most of whatever remains as education in ontario with an eye of course to improving and increasing leaving mr harris swinging a golf club and shout ing fore down the vast empty echoing corridors of queens park with so little left to do for the office of the premier and with the taste of har ris fresh in their minds the people of ontario vote to eliminate the office of the premier altogether the feds rule education and the municipalities are in feudal rebellion against the province so who needs a leader our only problem then would be that harris might go for a job a real job one like teaching charlene d jones m 2 p4 x h o h b h m o m z j y v v v v v- v vr j-rf- v v vr f1v v v r opening soon in markham choose from an excitin6 delicious menu featuring 6 oz fresh ground steak patty vegetarian low fat no cholesterol chickn lickn fresh chicken breast with 8bq sauce the gobbler fresh ground seasoned turkey patty kiwis mis msusmm muuvswmss mem i4 special holiday coupon just for you receive a free homeburger or natureburger with the purchase of a nvd pop ru 08 highway 7 iwjw wtnqwpon ttt jmjw jto wijwigi any ofofcwpw focwntjflw jgtqil tnlm j 5 months fitness membership offer expires december 24 gift certificates are availak in any denomination for fitness memberships massage therapy personat training pros hop oneyectr exmemb spec save wa fitness aerobics centre wwwworksfitnesscom 9054717871 190 bullock drive hwy 7 mccowan rd current or exmembers not djgble for the 5 month promotion gst extra must be 16yearsofagorover must be acllvltated by janl98
