No supporters can say they fought tlie good figiit, and won. They can be proud of the outpouring of support thai came from average people across the country and how, in times

of trouble, Canadians showed their true stripes.

But the truth is they won by the skin of their teeth.

What this victory really means is the fight is far from over and there is even more work ahead of us.

Separatists sent a strong message to the rest of Canada: deliver change and do it now,

because Canada is not as strong as we might like to think and separation is only one refer- endum away.

Bloc Quebecois Leader Lucien Bouchard said after Monday's defeat that -although the

Yes side may have lost this time, it will win next time.

"Let's keep the faith," said Bouchard. "Because next time will come more quickly than we believe."

Former Quebec Premier Jacques Parizeau told supporters "the next time is just around

the corner. We want a country and we shall have it."

The No win is expected to provide more economic stability for Canada, but assuming

that stability exists elsewhere may be a fatal mistake for the country. The status quo is not acceptable.

Prime Minister Jean Chretien is now expected to take swift measures to provide Quebec with more power. But such power must also be granted to the other provinces. For

just as Quebec is a distinct society, so too is British Columbia, Ontario, etc.

He must provide the provinces with more power through decentralization, whether that change comes from constitutional changes or, preferably, administrative changes. Until

then, Canada will continue to wrangle with constitutional talks, Quebec will continue to

threaten to separate and Canadians will never be sure of their fate.

(CP) France has banned the sport of dwarf throwing, and at least one small Frenchman is mad as a hatter. Manuel Wackenheim, who stands three feet ten inches tall, is asking the European court of human rights to take action against France for depriving him of his livelihood.

France's highest court has ruled that dwarf throwing is degrading to human dig- nity. Wackenheimer's lawyer said his client has never been hurt, and the ban restricts his liberty.

Dwarf throwing was imported to France from America in the 1 980s. It usually takes place in bars or discos, and involves big burly men throwing small stuntmen as far as possible. The human projectile wears a crash helmet and padded clothing with handles on the back for ease of throwing. Wackenheim's flights were usually about two metres and ended on a large inflatable mattress.

Golfer foils holdup attempt

(CP) The manager and patrons at a Massachusetts golf club refused to take it seriously when a bandit in a mask attempted a holdup. Police said a gunman, wearing an old man mask with a big nose, walked into the Cedar Glen Golf Club in Saugus, Massachusetts and ordered everybody to get down on the floor. But a patron walked out of the men's room and, assuming the holdup was a prank, ripped the robber's mask off. Everybody laughed and the would be bandit fled. No arrests have been made in connection with the incident.
