The throwing of pies was already becom­ ing a popular form of political protest in central Canada, particu­ \ larly in Quebec, where several prominent politicians have been successfully targeted by the "tartistes." Members of this group have earned a sympathetic audience from many Canadians by conducting their protest in a humorous fash­ ion. Planting a pie in the face of a politician, we are assured, is both humorous and harmless. But on closer analysis it is neither. Some of the victims have described the experience as humiliat­ ing, but it is difficult to fmd sympathy on that basis. We can, how­ ever, sympathize from a moral stand: causing pain or discomfort with physical force against a person is neither reasonable nor acceptable behaviour. It constitutes a form of physical assault, for which there is no valid justification or defence. Pie-throwers have celebrated their attack on the prime minister with the observation that they have achieved the ultimate in their "pieing" campaign. Having done so they might now consider dis­ continuing the practice altogether and finding more peaceful and I morally acceptable means of protest.

Taxes for medicare On the front page of the August 14 Victoria Times-Colonist was the headline "Most back the barest of medicare." Apparently, 58 per cent favoured limiting health care to a set of core services. However, on page two of the same article, we find that actually "83 per cent favour increasing the amount of funding for medicare, either by real­ locating funds from other government programs or raising taxes." ' So what happened? Did the editors make a mistake or is this just another example of fudg­ ing the news to make it fit the philosophy of the owners? It seems obvious to me that Canadians want a health care system that works and are prepared to pay for it, even if it means higher taxes. Presumably, higher taxes on the rich who have most of the money. The middle class certainly doesn't have any to spare. BARON FOWLER, Chairman, health caucus, Green Party of B.C., Salt Spring Island
