Deja vu for China junket
"...it brought back the memories
of Brian Mulroney and his trip to
Korea..."
Dear Editor:
It may be a different hand; but they are playing
the same old songs. For a few moments, it brought
hack the memories of Brian Mulroney and his trip
to Korea, for a few weeks and Deputy P.M. Nielson
was busy facing the barrage of questions and oppo-
sition consultations regarding Sinclair Stevens' pos-
sible departure from the cabinet table.
Here we have Prime Minister Chretien off to Chi-
na, and it looks as if Deputy P.M. Copps will face
the onslaught of bickering from the Opposition
benches in regard to the Hon. Michel Dupuy.
Years ago, it cost both Conservatives their jobs;
will history repeat itself, when Jean Chretien returns
from his trip.
I ant sure this episode will continue for some time
to come. The publishing of Stevie Cameron's book
"On the Take: Crime, Corruption and Greed in the
Mulroney Years" will certainly shadow the halo of
the Liberal Government as they have proceeded to
door number one. What will Cameron's next book
bel
This saga seems to be a never ending story regard-
less of political stripes. This should be of some hint
to the Federal Government.
