So far the Liberals are in the lead with the Reform Party run-
ning a clues second.
Before you think you missed a newscast about election polls
we should lei you know what we're talking about - self -pro-
moting party faxes.
It seems the Liberals have the jump on the other parties in
terms of piles of papers of propaganda and they're already
clogging up our fax machine. Little 'ol Seaforth received a 17 -
page message (yep. 17. pages) Monday morning from the fed-
eral Liberals. Half of it was in French, of course. Not that any-
one in the government payroll would take the time to find out
that The Huron Expositor. along with about 250 other papers
in Ontario, publish in English. There are only a few - less than
a dozen fur sure - papers that publish in French in Ontario.
But you can be sure the+t EVERY newspaper in Canada got a
copy with both official languages. And if that wasn't enough
• of a waste of paper - since we aren't about to send somebody

As far as the fax race goes, you wouldn't know the PC party
even exists (Well, atter the last election, there's not much fed-
eral PC that does exist. i suppose lean Chartist is too busy
campaigning in Quebec to send his own faxes, too). And the
NDP - arc they still a political party'. No doubt .we will
receive a news release on recycled paper from them soon.
