And I think it's a good thing. When the last barber or bricklayer has bragged about being off to the Ba- hamas when the last drug- gist or doctor has informed me pompously that "We'll probably take in Acapulco this year," I feel a sense of relief. The rats have left the Freezing ship, and there's, only the hard core, the sturdy pioneer types, the rugged individualist and the poor people left in the temperate (hah!) zone. The rest of us, the best of us, can get down to the real glory of winter living, with- out stumbling over a lot of sissies who are better off down there getting sand in their navels.

The right to say you're product is the official • "whatever" of the Olympics is hotly contested in some areas, particularly so in a marketplace as highly visi- ble as photographic film. Be- ing the official trash bag to 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.

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.

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 1* ca„... .� ..a,.

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." r+ -Law Reform Commission of Canada Commission de reforme du droit du Canada Canada
