The curtain closes: Reflections on the Barrett era “VICTORIA (CP) — He. bursts impatiently out of his office like a barrel-sized linebacker, the top of his shirt unbuttoned, exposing a neck that all but disappears between his broad face and stumpy body. Dave Barrett is obviously not enthralled with the idea of another curtain-closing interview on his: turbulent political career. As the photographer reaches for his camera, the leader of the provincial New Democratic Party and former British Columbia premier whips 4 tie under his collar and pulls a pin-striped suit jacket around his ample belly, boasting proudly of another in a seemingly- endless stream of weight losses. It is a poignant moment and the thought occurs that the more things change, the more they remain the same, The 68-year-old Barrett, the Jesuit-educated son of a fruit pedlar from Vancouver's working-class East End, has been fighting — oc- casionally winning, but mest often losing —- the battle of the bulge for as long as he has been battling — again occasionally winning, but most often losing to — his nemeses, the hard- ware-store Bennetts of Kelowna. — IN 25: YEARS Through 25 years of cutthroat, acidic and sometimes humorous debate in the legislature and in the far reaches of this vast, resource- rich province, Barrett went up against the iron-willed W.A.C. Bennett, his son Bill, and the powerful Social Credit party. Except for three years, from 1972- 75, a head-spinning period in which the province’s first socialist government introduced a deluge of legislation, Barrett and the NDP have sat In Opposition. After three consecutive election defeats al the handsof the Bennetts and their Social Credit party, Barrett is stepping down. He will be replaced at a leadership convention this Victoria Day weekend. Much was made in the early 1980s of Barrett's new Image, Sure, he had toned down his pitch, muffled the rhetoric and replaced his checked sports jackets with more urbane business suits. But underneath thal fresh coat of paint remained the same Dave Barrett, a mun who wok SPhaigin ee toa Se longed for the power the premier’s title carried. He says politics has not been his ultimate focus — Indeed, he leads a vibrant family and social life outside the legislature — and that the am- bitious pursuit of the premiership was not an “overwhelming desire. " CRAVED THE JOB . Yet his comments on what he considers his: most satisfying moment in politics demonstrate how deeply he craved the job. Barrett had for years railed against the confinement of children 12 years old and under in detention centres, Shortly after he was sworn in as the province's 25th premier, he ordered an immediate halt to the practice. “Tt was the use of power ina very positive way,” he says. “It was a very happy moment for me to know that I had the power to stop something that was frankly wrong from continuing . .. it was a great feeling,” His outspoken views ori correc- tions policy while he was a social worker led him Into politics at the age of 30. The senior Bennett fired him from Haney Correctional Centre in 1850 when Barrett in- dicated he would seek a legislature seat under the banner of the Co- operative Commonwealth Federation, the predecessor of the NDP. LOST FIRST BID ' The young rabble-rouser, with a speaking style that often rose to a high-pitched scream, won in Dewdney in 1860, He first tried for the NDP leadership in 1949, losing to Tom Berger, but won by ac- clamation in 1970 when Berger resigned after a 1969 election loss to W.A.C, Bennett. Says Fred Moonen, a longtime legislative lobbyist: “I think I[ remember him best when he was a young back-bencher and I watched him bleed all over the carpet as W.A.C. carved him up for about four or five years. He has learned at the feet of a master and he's never forgotten It.”’ | In an interview in his comfortable, ‘unpretentious legislative office, Barrett won’t talk about the elder Bennett, saying oniy that “he was a nice fellow,” FLOR Ee AO . ‘Leaning over a-smallish desk on which sits a Tiffany lamp he hashad . for years, Barrett says he enjoyed — being a social. worker and saw politics as a means’to social action ' and not as @ long-term career. “As I became aware of the nature of the political system and the role of the Opposition and the role of © government, ! became more aware of the necessity of.” ‘a drive, for power.” ‘On August 30, 1972, his collection of social workers, teachers and trade unionists sprprisingly toppled Bennett, then 71, and his aging, disintegrating Socred- government that had ruled for 20 years. MOVED QUICKLY © The youthful and mercurial Barrett immediately put ; his socialist degma inte action. He in- stituted new royaltieson mining and forestry, bought out' lumber mills, slapped a freeze on the development of agricultural land and introduced government auto” insurance, a human rights code and a labor code. Barrett, who told- a newspaper columnist after the election that the NDP probably wouldn't win a second term, says he does not regret the decision to move. quickly. . “Part of it was consclous and part of it was just unleashing the cork in _ the bottle,” he says. ‘‘In the last six _years of W.A.C.'s administration, a great number of things, normal, thoughtful, ordinary things that had taken place In other jurisdictions in North America, had not taken place here, So a part of what we did very quieldy was just catching up.” By the time Barrett called an’ election for December 1075, -Bill_. Bennett had assumed the Social Credit leadership and lured Liberals and Conservatives into a loose coalition — a move Barrett had - predicted shortly afler his election win... | MONEY FADES ‘The practice in this province has been, historically, that if the CCF- NDP is close to power, or indeed in: power as we were, thal the money drieg up for separate parties." The Socreds swept the province, even taking Barrett's Coquitlam seat. Barrett considered resigning but was persuaded by the party to - remain, He was returned to the legislature by a June 1876 byelec- tion. Despite increasing he popular ; vote in 1978 and 1983 — most political pundits had conceded. last year's election to Barrett — the NDP suffered crushing electoral defeats. Barrett refuses to give a straight answer when asked whether any blame for the election defeat can be _Jaid at, his feet. He laughs, says he's got an impeccable image, and then tells a story about a discussion he had with a Jesuit priest about philosophy and religion. ““Tasked him why he had chosen a vocation of being a priest; did he really know God existed? He'said he wasn't sure, but he decided to take a chance that God did exist and based his vocation on that. - “He said, ‘It's a mystery and you've got to take your chances.’ So life ia a mystery and to spend too much time dwelling on high or low points is a mistake in my opinion. Life goes on.” WAS DRAGGED OUT Of his moat ignominious moment in polities’ — being dragged un- ceremoniously from his legislative seat last October when he refused an acting Speaker's order to leave — Barrett said that “in many ways it was one of my proudest moments in that Iwas able to demonstrate to my own satisfaction that the system is more important than me or the - Speaker or the political parties.” Barrett is coy about his future. Federal NDP Leader Ed Broadbent has been pressing him to run for the . national party, and there have been reports that he now will go irito open- line radlo. * _Asked how he wants British Columblans to remember him, the quick-witted Barrett pauses for several seconds, un characteristically at a loss for words. . “| deeply appreciate my good fortune in being born here, having do. If anybody wants to think kindly my. health and the opportunity of of me, just think of how lucky I've “serving people In the way I chose to been to do what I've done so far.” NDP leader Dave Barrett: His almost 25 years of fighting the Bennett regime will soon come to an end. The NDP will hold thelr leadership convention this weekend. Barrett Is not saying what his plans for the future are.
