areas, particularly so in a
marketplace as highly visi-

the Olympics wouldn't be
nearly as glamorous or
important to the commercial
marketplace.
That "official" designa-
tion doesn't come cheap. It's
paid for - often in a bidding
contest - and the "official"
seal goes to the company
who's willing oto spend the
most money. It's just that
simple.
The Fuji people put their
money on the line to get that
official association with the
1984 Olympics and it appears
they are well prepared to
take advantage of what
they've done.
For example, the Fuji
people are promoting their
Olympic license in all their
ads. And they hired Walter
loos, one of the country's
best known sports photog-
raphers, to spend nearly two
years on assignment shoot-
ing all the Olympic trial
meets throughout the world.

and senuous south to equal
that crunch of toes breaking
off, that crack of bursitis in
the shoulder when you throw
that first curling stone, that
snap of thigh bones on the ski
hill?
Let's take a look at a
couple of these hot -weather
hounds. Look at this bird in
Florida. Gets out of bed and
there's that same old cruin-
by, monontonous sun blazing
down, just like all the other
days. Same old routine. the
inevitable patio; the inevit-
able trip to the beach with
the inevitable obscenely fat
softies lying all around. Or
the inevitable sweating it out
on the gplf course with a lot
of other middle-aged liars.
And here's our pal in Mex-
ico, just getting up at 10:30.
He hasn't paid last year's in-
come tax yet, but he's bor-
rowed $1,500 from the bank
to make the trip. He has a
hangover from those six -
ounce, 40 cent Mexican
drinks, and a twisted back
from trying to tango. ,
His wife, in the other twin
bed, looks like an inmate of
Belson, because she's had
Mexican complaint, com-
monly known as dire rear,
ever since they crossed the
border. She whines, he
snarles. They totter out into
the muggy heat. And another
horrible day in Acapulco has
begun.
It's not like that around
here. Down to a jolly break-
fast: vitamin pills, cuppa tea
and half slice of toast.
There's the thrill of variety
as you prepare for the day.
When dawn comes, will the
sun be shining, the snow fall-
ing, or a blizzard howling?
Out into the wild white
yonder. Grab the shovel and
make the snow fly, chuckling
heartily all the while as you
think of those poor slobs in
the south, with nothing to do
every day but the same old
things.
The clean, fresh, northern
air hits your lungs like a
dum-dum bullet. Bark seal -
like greeting to neighbor,
whose head is just visible
over his snowbank.
Off to the garage. Excite -
ment of wondering whether
the car will start. The sheer,
demonic joy, of belting out
the driveway backwards and
-trying to smash through the
bank the -snowplow has
thrown up. Sometimes you
make it.
The skidding, slithering
adventure of the drive to
work. Wheels spinning, visi-
bility 12 fee , every man for
himself.
And anoth r day of .glori-
ous winter living has begun.
Don't try to tell me about the
seduction of the languous

Dialogue on Law Reform:...
Report 19
wiits�tAsSlstance and-ielewarrain s
By Calvin A. Becker
The Law Reform Commission
of Canada's Report 19, entitled
Writs of Assistance and Tele -
warrants was recently tabled in
Parliament by the Honourable
Mark MacGuigan, Minister of
Justice and Attorney General of
Canada.
.This Report expresses the
Law Reform Commission's final
views on two of the approxi-'
mately fiftyrecommendations•
contained in its recently -issued
Working Paper 30, Police Pow-
ers: Search and Seizure in
Criminal Law Enforcement. The
first is a recommendation that
writs of assistance be abolished
immediately. The second is a
recommendation that peace offi-
cers be permitted to obtain
search warrants by' telephone or
other means of telecommunica-
tion in circumstances where a
personal appearance before ` a
justice would be impracticable.
Writs of assistance were
first devised in 1662 to facili-
tate enforcement of the English
customs regime. Their principal
feature - and the chief source
of their controversy - is that
they permit private premises to
be entered and searched without
prior judicial authorization.
So hostile was American reaction
to the writ's powers of warran-
tless entry that historians have
identified the writ of assistance
as a major precipitant of the
American Revolution. It,was to
guard against the evil of indiscrim-
inate search and seizure that
the American constitution was
ultimately to provide that "no
warrants shall issue, but upon
probable cause, supported by
oath or'affirmation, and partic-
ularly describing the place to
be searched, and the person or
things to be seized".
I,n Canada, the writ has not
only survived; it has flourished
and gained considerably in
discretionary powers. Four
statutes presently provide for
the issuance of . writs of assis-
tance: the Customs Act, the
Excise Act, the Narcotic Control
Act and , the Food and Drugs
Act. In emphatic terms, however,
the Law Reform Commission
has pronounced the writ of
assistance an instrument of
unconstitutional search and
seizure ,and an affront to
common law tradition. In the
words of the Report,- the Com-
mission asserted "that a statu-
tory regime which exempts the
State from justifying its use of
intrusive search powers before
the event, and which confers
powers of search and seizure
unbounded by limitations as
to the use of force, unbounded
by time, unbounded by place,
an'd unbounded by requirements
of • reasonable belief is neces-
sarily antithetical to our common
law traditions and our consti-
tutional aspirations".
Report 19 also recommends
that the Criminal' Code be
amended to provide for the
issuance of search warrants by
telephone or other means of
telecommunication. Procedures
for granting search warrants by
telephone have already been
adopted in some jurisdictions
('most notably, California, Ari-
zona, Montana, New York and
New South Wales, Australia).
Essentially the "telewarrant"
Merely adapts the issuance of
0
search warrants to current
telecommunications technology.
Instead of being obliged to.
appear personally before a
justice of the peace to apply
for a search warrant, a police
officer could submit his appli-
cation by telephone. If the
justice accepts that ' reasonable
grounds exist for the search,
he then dictates the terms of the
warrant to the police officer
and authorizes the police offi-
cer to. sign the . warrant on
behalf of the issuing justice.
With this written document, the
officer' may then . conduct the
search in the ordinary way.
The Law Reform Commis-
sion's telewarrant procedures
feature a number of safeguards.
The information submitted
in support of an application
for a search warrant would
be on oath and recorded
verbatim.
The issuing justice would
be ogliged to file a certified
transcript of the application
and the original search
warrant with the clerk of the
court as soon as practicable.
*** The telewarrant could not
be used to conduct a surrep-
titious entry, search • or
seizure upon private prem-
ises. A copy of the tele -
warrant must be presented
to the occupier before entry
or as soon thereafter as
possible; in the case of
unoccupied premises, a
copy • of the telewarrant
must be left suitably and
prominently affixed within
the premises.
* * *
The telewarrant would con-
tain a notice, advising that
the search was conducted
pursuant to a warrant issued
by telephone or other means
ofatelecommunication; as
well, the• notice would
specify the address of the
clerk of the court where the
information used to obtain
the warrant and the original
search warrant . itself were
on file,
Police officers would be
obliged both to conduct
their search and file a report.
with the clerk of 'the court
within three days of the
telewarrant's issuance.
Should the search subse-
quently be challenged, the
failure to produce the requi-
site record of the applica-
tion or the original warrant
would constitute prima
facie proof that the search
or seizure was not autho-
rized by warrant.
In releasing Report , 19, the
new President of the Law
Reform Commission of Canada,
Mr. Justice` Allen M. Linden,
stressed that, although the two
topics are included in one
report, the recommendation to
introduce telewarrants is com-
pletely independent from the
recommendation to abolish writs
of assistance; neither, of the
proposals should be viewed as
compensation for the other.
President Linden stated: "As a
matter of principle, the Com-
mission believes that search with
warrant - including tele -
warrant - should be the rule

and search without warrant the,
exception, such exception to be
closely confined to circumstances
of recognized exigency or
informed consent. Because writs
of assistance are licences to
enter, search and seize without
warrant, they violate this philo-
sophy and should be eliminated
without delay. Further, because
telewarrants employ modern
communications technology to
increase search efficiency, with-
out sacrificing civil liberties,
they should be introduced as
soon as possible."
