Editorial Why isn't the best country good enough? "0 Canada, Our home and native land, thecord Truepatriot 10ve..." Between April 1994 and March 1995, Immigration Canada had approximately 216, 497 people apply to the gov- ernment for the privilege of becoming a Canadian citizen. For many who are aware ofrefugees and the demand for citizenship in our country, the Quebec Referendum was puzzling. When so many people want to become a part of our great country, why would an entire province want to leave? Quebec's desire for sovereignty can be seen as nothing but childish.

Blaming ethnic voters for the loss of the "yes" vote, Copy Editors Ameena Ahsan Parizeau offered insight into his own beliefs. Was his separation goal for the entire province of Quebec, or only for Natalie Haines those offair skin? Perhaps Parizeau should learn the difference between "separation" and "racism". Instead of International Coordinator Lilian Schaer going down in history as a leader of a great Separatist movement, Parizeau will forever be remembered as a silly old man who resigned from his party in defeat.

A nice place to visit, but ... Janey's a student at WLU, He was there - alone But by the time this poem's finished she just might be through He never found a girlfriend What happened to Lonesome George? Next year they're predicting hikes of fifty percent, It's only first year and Janey can't pay her rent. How did he live out his life She works during school at a part-time job, I mean, he collected all those donations from the Panda people But the government treats her like a money-hungry slob. So did he buy a TV? A VCR? Perhaps a relaxing recllner "You're all mooches, you're lazy, you just don't work hard," Did he watch Friends before he died? Said the government to the students who'd let down their guard Or would that have just pissed him off? "The deficit's more important," Mr. Harris cried. Too bad his cuts mean the future has died. I feel bad for Lonesome George - he lived by himself, forever I bet he felt empty Inside Goodbye shelters for women, goodbye welfare mutts, I mean, how do you tell someone, "Sorry, you're the only one?" Goodbye humanity and compassion, I wonder 1f he had a mean streak for a while Hello cut-backs ruts. Or 1f he just took 1t all 1n stride. But let's get back to poor Janey Sinclair, I feel guilty Ruled by a government that just doesn't care. I didn't send any money Janey's world's stepping back into aristocracy, Worst of all I forgot about Lonesome George Where only the rich educations in society. And he died, on a beach, all by himself I hope he's met the other now Now you may think, "Poor Janey, that really is sad, I hope. "But honestly, I don't think things are that bad." Listen to the truth, action's a necessity, Conor McCreeiy Or else you force us into a life of poverty.
