Page.9, News, Tuesday, October 2, 1990 Unpopular government must be counting on mass amnesia By Terry O'Shaughnessy It's an amazing thing to watch our unpopular federal government at a time when there's still more than two years to go before the next federal election. It is as though the federal Progressive Conservatives are counting on the Canadian general public to come down with mass amnesia between now and the next election. What else could explain the Tories' behavior in this, their second term? The country is still reeling from the Meech Lake circus where Prime Minister Brian Mulroney performed his highwire act and lost his balance while rolling the dice. It has yet to accept Dr. Michael Wilson's pre- scription that the GST is a good" tonic for our ailing economy. And more than a few Canadians wondered where the prime minis- ter was as the Canadian Army and Mohawks squared off in Quebec. And of course there was his total lack of leadership (not even a wave of goodbye) when our servicemen and servicewom- en boarded obsolete warships to head off to the volatile and dan- gerous Persian Gulf region. If all that wasn't enough to chew on, then came the icing on the cake-John Buchanan's appointment to the Senate. Symbolism, which political pundits, PR types and other insid- ers readily agree plays an enor- mous role in how the public views its leaders and political par- ties, has been dreadful in the Buchanan Senate appointment. The naked cynical act where Nova Scotia Premier Buchanan was rescued from his scan- dalplagued swamp and dropped into a Senate sinecure with cushy life-long benefits served up the worst kind of symbolism. It dripped with the "public-be- damned" message which has become a trademark of too many governments for too many years. And with some three years to go in his own term of office, Buchanan himself didn't appear to have any qualms about grabbing hold of Mulroney's offensive our view, be a trip through the Looking Glass. Canadians are not stupid, but they certainly are long suffering. However, for politicians to confuse Canadian ference and stupidity is a mistake that they will discover when they next go to the polls. If there is any doubt about this, just ask for- mer Ontario Liberal premier David Peterson. *ing the mess swirling around 'geous choices to land in the, coast away.

And yes, the federal Liberal party has no high ground upon which to throw moral brick- bats at Mulroney's glass house, in that they made porkbarrelling, Senate cynicism and old-pal pay- offs a fine art during their years in i power at the federal level. But there is something which we believe our politicians from an overall standpoint have been missing for a long time and that is the general public has come to their limits of tolerance.
