When Canadians wake up thi s morning they will be suffering from more than the effects of a late night hinging session. The hangover will continue for the next five years and it will be worse than having consumed twenty beers. All those Canadians who thought they were merely registering their anger by voting Reform and Bloc Quebecois will wake up to find Frankenstein's monster living in one corner of their backyard and a gargoyle chained in the opposite Bloc. Change can be good. Perhaps it is best that the Bloc Quebecois and Reform parties have obtained such sta tus, for now they can only begin to reveal their true natures. Sure, every Western Canadian grumbles about Quebec, but are they really prepared to have them leave Canada? Do Quebecers really believe that the Bloc is the best thing for their province or have they just opened Pandora's box? What does the West expect from the Reform party? People in this region claim to hate politicians but what else can you call those Reform candidates who are now elected as official members of parliament? Are they still the farmers of Alberta? Now that they have become the "grassroots, moral conscience of parliament" they will no longer be able to merely throw out slogans—they may actually have to provide their voters with something of substance. A tour of the parliamentary library may have some merit to the new honourable members. How will time change the new parties? Their policies may bend like Liberals on a fence being blown in a hard wind. Brian Mulroney did an about face on his position concerni ng free trade: "Don't talk to me about free trade. ... All that would happen with that kind of concept wouldbe the boys cranking up their plants in the United States in the bad times and shutting their entire branch plants in Canada. It's bad enough as it is." Brian Mulroney 1983. Will the Reform party's math improve? It seems only yesterday Bill McArthur, Reform party candidate for Vancouver Quadra, was able to multiply six times three and get nineteen. Will they suddenly realize the three years that they need to reduce the deficit is actually in dog years? Or that reducing the number of immigrants will suddenly increase the percentage of Canadians that are unemployed? Perhaps British Columbians and Albertans were expecting magic from the Reform party. Why were they not as convinced by the Natural Law Party? They, in fact, had more to offer: they claimed to be able to reduce the deficit without increasing our stress level. What more could any Canadian wish for? Letters to the staff Canadians have never been very demanding. They willingly accept most politicians as their representa with a widowed, elderly man list citing UBC. The irony is, Whether you have, in the tives as long as they are thought of once in a while.
