UNIFICATION: PART THREE
Remember? It's 1987 and
we have Uniforce, alias the
Canadian Cobras, 100,000 strong,
pure bone and gristle, master-
minded by jut -jawed Joe Gari-
baldi, Minister of National
Defence.
The Yanks are all upset be-
cause he is dickering with the
Chinese, a couple of waiters
from the Nanking restaurant.
It's obviously a second Cuba an
the making.
Joe gets a call from the White
House, He states his terms,
and hangs up. He knows his
man. LSD, president of the
U.S, of A,, is a tough cookie.
He came up through the unions,
like Joe, but owes his position
to the huge wealth of his wife,
Mary Warner, of the hideously
rich Boston Warners.
Twenty minutes later, Joe's
phone rings. It's LSD himself.
"Now look, he. Wedon't want
trouble. We paid eight million
for Alaska and I think five mil-
lion for the Louisiana Purchase
thing. Yeah, yeah, we know
there's inflation. Ilow about a
straight eight billion. Don't be
ridiculous. We won't go a nickel
past nine. After all, we own
most of the country anyway.
A deal? Right. Take over,"
It wasn't quite that simple,
of course. Joe had to call a
meeting of the War Council.
This group had supplanted the
Cabinet, which was relegated
to such tasks as studying the
Immediate Housing Bill, intro
duced in 1968, and the Old Age
Unemployment Act, prepared
in 1969.
But it didn't take long. Joe

had hand-picked his senior of-
ficers. Marshal -Admiral Louis
Latour had wanted to be King
Louis the First of New Canada
the Second. After Joe had ex-
plained how awkward this
would be, Louis settled for the
liquor concession at all mar-
tyrs' shines in •the country.
The others went along. Colo-
nel -Commodore Nils Jorgenson
of Winnipeg balked a little at
getting no more than the re-
maining mineral rights of the
Prairie Provinces, but finally
acceded, grumbling. The rest
accepted what they got: the
fishing right in Hudson Bay,
the Rocky Mountains, or what-
ever.
It was beautifully planned,
perfectly timed. At noon on
July 1, our national holiday,
the Cobras struck. Flying
squads took over all communi-
cations media, without a drop
of blood being shed.
Nearly everybody was popped
after the long, hot holiday, so
that only a few heard Marshal -
Admiral Latour announce on
the 11 p.m, news, that Uniforce
had unearthed and promptly
squashed a Communist plot to
take over the country.
Next day the full story came
out, in all media, and the Hon-
orable Joe was lauded for the
speed and decision with which
he had handled the emergency.
There wasn't an iota of re-
sistance. Parliament was on
holiday. The Prime Minister
was ill and in seclusion. The
universities were closed, so
there were no students' pro-
tests. The Mounties and militia
had long since been disbanded
as needless expense.
Everything was p e r f e et 1 y
calm. Business as usual. Most
Canadians were starting their
holidays.
A few noticed that there were
a lot of new radio and IV an-
nouncers and newspaper col-
umnists, but they figured the
new guys were just vacation
replacements.
Then the good news started
corning. Corporation, income
and sales taxes were all to be
reduced. Farm subsidies were
to be raised. -. Food prices were
to be lowered. Free housing
for everybody making less than
$5,000.
I guess I don't have to tell
you the rest. Popular move-
ment demanding a republic and
"Joe for President". Joe's sin-
cere statement that he had no
ambition except to serve the
Canadian people, through the
democratic process. Big con-
vention. Only stipulation for
delegates was that they be mem-
bers of Uniforce. Joe elected
unanimously. You had to hand
it to him. From President of
the Detruction Workers' Union
to President of the great Re-
public of Canada in a few short
years.
That's all. Oh, a few people
disappeared quietly here and
there, but that was because of
the new Relocation Act.
