Remember ,where we .left
off? Twenty years, from now. A
weak•central; government, with
everybody froth the 'housewife
to the U.S. government down
on it. '. : , '
A tough, ruthless; Uniforce,
popularly known , as the Ca-
na di an ' Cobras, 100,000
strong: And jut jawed Joe Gar.
ibaldi, former union leader, as,
'Defence Minister. '
The' Honorable'., Joe vaulted
into the House of Commons in .
' a rather unusual fashion. One
of -his opponents withdrew.
from the campaign, on health"
grounds, • and set . out for ' a
world tout: The other was run
down.. by a truck, justafter
addressing a' meeting in which,
he had attacked the Honorable
Joe. Both incidents occurred
. three days before ;before the 'election.
,Joe won.
He moved • fnto Ottawa with
several beetle-browed cohorts:
A modest, ,flat? Not on• your '
life He took over an :entire
floor; of the 'Chateau Laurier.
There: he .lived quietly, , with : ro
n o t h in g to distinguish hilly'.
from ;the -..average MP' , except
the •constant flow ' of - chani-
pagne, call, girls, and: guests
He was 1 vis h .. with the
press,' and' they liked it. He
was : always good for a story,
.-because '' he had guts,: color, and
good whisky, an . unusuala' com
bination ina member .of the
•
House.,
But the m a o ria f his
7 y o
guests were sleek -headed men
who ;. grow , fat, and 'sleep
enights. Industrialists ;with • a
new 'gimmick, • arm •a m e n
makers with ` a new :toy,'' pfoliti
cians with a ,new -angle, and all; •
the otherflies who : -gather
around honey.
The Honorable on -
otable: Joe was the
natural choice for Defence
Minister. Slack -jawed Lester
Gordon, Prune Minister,: Blast • of
Canada's Rhodes 'scholars, felt . .
,in`:a vague sort of Way that the
Cab iet needed 'new blood;w
• Within . two :years ;he had,
quadrupled the" defence depart-
ment's
epartment's . slice , of the ' national
pie. That.; made it 85 per cent.'..
o€'. the .taxes, ' but n o b o d y
kicked, because, even though
there hadn't been a new post
• Office,. bridge or • breakwater :
built • in •s'e v e r al years, ..
everybody 'was proud of: the •
Cobra s, the world's finest ,
fighting force:,
•And o n l y a' few •, old
fashaone.d members of the
press thought it, • odd that the
Cobras: paid • ten per ,cent. of
their salaries, voluntarily, into
t h e Old Soldiers Benevolent'.
Fund, .Chairman of, the . Fund,. •
• Joseph`j. 'Garibaldi. By 1937:
of course, there were precious
few old ' soldiers- left, but they
were well treated .by the Fund.
•Two glasses of beer a' day, free
smokes, roll -your -own;, and a `
'sexy movie every Saturday
'night, whether you wanted it
or not: '
Joe •played it cool. • Ile in '
vited : a couple •of waiters • from'.
the Nanking restaurant lip for
a weekend . bash. Everybody
thought he' was ' flirting with.
the • Chinese. , •
The V.S. State' Department ..
called' an emergency session.
The C.I.A., infiltrated Ottawa,
' in the guise of • civil servants.
Of course, nobody recognized•
them/ Each thought they were
other civil servants syping` on
him. . • •
Next thing he did was throw
up a string of fortresses at
Vancouver, Windsor, Brockville
and St. Andrews -by -the -Sea. He'
justified the, expense'. by point
ing out, at a secret meeting of'
the caucus, that the forts .were
made of paper, that giving; a,
boostto our pulp and paper in-
dustry. But : the results were
drastic. ' •. •
The Americans p) hed eight
divisionsout of: ,Germany and
.sprinkled them. along the 49th
parallel,, about eight ' men, to
• the mile.: They sent an aircraft'
carrier ttp the . St. Lawrence' .
Seaway: It' got 'stuck sideways,
but the residents Of, Prescott, •
Ontario, .lost their cool for a
few days, with : t h. o s'e
194nchers •trained on them. ..
The entire; U.S.,' Air Force
• was 'yanked out. ' of South Af-
rica, from which they had been
napalming .the Congolese.: The
' pilots were d e 11 gh t e d to be
back in.; spots like O sw e g o,
N.Y., where: , a • beer was 35
cents instead of a_ buck, .and ' .'�
besides, they •wanteda whack
at those Canadian Cobras,'who
were getting more ':space • in:
Life magazine than they were..
Alas, once again: We 'have
run' out of space, and•you must
wait until next week's issue to
--learn ' how Canada was taken
over by a dictator in the only
bloodless revolution in history..
Well,; practically bloodless.

to' -such tasks .as studying the
Immediate Housing Bill, intro-
duced in 1968, and the Old
