Shameful demonstration
There is nothing noble about the demonstration in London last
'week by hundreds of postal workers• who left their jobs to protest
against Canada Post policies they say drove an injured worker to
commit suicide.
Instead, the clecision•of the CanadiamUniOniofrottal Workers to
use the tragic death of Peter LeMay to, ptibliolzeAS Problems with
Canada Post is nothing less than Shameftil:exPloltation... •
The president• of the union's London localcalled the• one -day
walkout a day of protest and• bereavement, but said the suicide vic-
tim is not the issue. "Peter LeMay is one ofmany people being e*
posed to pathetic policies at Canada PosV he said. In addition, he
wants Labor Canada to investigate the amountot stress placed on.
postal workers through Canada Post's "harassment" of its ern-
plOkees. Canada Post policies, the union claims, harass em-
ployees who are absent from their jobs because of illness or other
reasons.

All that aside, however, no matter what the difference with

The mouth that motors -
His legs.aren't the only things about U.S. sprinter Carl Lewis that
are speedy. His mouth motors fairly, well, too.
It almost seems that Lewis, -who was awarded the Olympic
100 -metre gold medal when Canada's Ben Johnson tested posi-
tive for steroids, is taking advantage of every opportunity to point
his accusing -finger at Johnson and almost any other athlete who
has ever won an Olympic track event or seta world-record;;AimoSt.
everyone, that is, but himself.,
While it is true that his latest public outcry Was made while testi-
fying at a U.S., House Judiciarysubcommittee, he has always been
willing to use any public platform to add more fuel to the Johnson
scandal.
Could it be that he wants to see his rival -so disgraced that he
withdraws from the sport out of shame7Or suspended for life, by an
international sports hierarchy that is so caught up in tackling the
symptoms that it keeps Stumbling over the problem? .
Probably not, although without Johnson competing against him
— with or without steroids — there certainly is truth then to the ar-
gument that Lewis is the fastest man in compatMon.
For a country that is becoming weary Of the Scandallin Seoul and
its subsequent investigations, allegations and now the Dubin in:.
quiry, surely Canadians caret be blamed for wanting to say:
"You've got the medal Carl, now please just shut up."
