quebeckers wont see through his dishonesty and evasion viewpoint jo ann stevenson historically when it comes down to a vote quebeckers havent used the final trump card despite expectations to the contrary their vote has always come down fairly firmly for federalism this time la belle province has put our collective necks on the bloc and many of us are realizing we havent got the intesti nal fortitude to go this way again theres a finality to the hour that has been absent in the past canadians who trav elled to the giant love- in in montreal friday made a soulful plea in the language of

twentieth century cousins but they tasted just the same one last tale from the horti cultural pages then i must get back to my composting this story isnt about gardening per se but it involved food and the strategic military use there of it seems a frenchman by the name of jean bucquoy is set ting up boot camps in the bel gian backwoods to train cream pie terrorists commander buc quoy heads up the internation- ar pastry brigade their mis sion to comb the world rooting out those who believe them selves to be superior and to throw a cream pie in their face commander bucquoy prac tices what he preaches he was arrested for hurling a pie at the french minister of culture commander bucquoy claims it was a snafued offensive hed really meant to throw the pie at sylvester stallone but the movie star showed up too late personally im prepared to become the canadian liaison for the save jean bucquoy defense fund any organization that wants to cream pie sylvester stallone cant be all bad
