A fine Scots watchdog . . .

THERE IS A great deal of satisfaction
to be derived from the knowledge that af-
fairs of our Provincial Government are un-
der constant scrutiny by a man such as
Robert Strachan, Provincial leader of the
NOP, and MLA fer Cowichan-Newcastle.

We had an opportunity this week to
‘meet Mr, Strachan and chat with him
briefly about things that interest every-
one of us, regardless of our political affili-
ations. He left us with a very favorable im-
pression and a feeling that things ore al-
‘right with B.C, as lang as we have this
amiable Scottish watchdog keeping an eye
on things.

if anything goes awry in Victoria, Stra-
chan is going to bark and when he kicks
up a ruckus in the House he’s going to be
heard. That’s the way it should be. The
Leader of the Opposition is equally as im-
portant as the leader of the favored poli-
tical party. His job is just as difficult, if
not more so, and it requires a man who
is not only strong of mind, but strong of
back as wall,

Robert Strachan is just such a man.

Naturally he's going to be adament

about his political beliefs, and for the |
thousands of NDP followers in this area
and in other parts of the province, this is
just fine. Perhaps it wouldn't hurt some of
the rest of us to stop and listen carefully
when Bob Strachan speaks, He tempers
his words with‘cool reasoning, and if we
cannot always agree with him — at least
he makes us think. That alone, is some-
thing of a major accomplishment in this
age of apathetic offluence. — ;

Compared with some other politicians
we have encountered—the ones who spout
off incessantly about anything and every-
thing, until their words become a dirge in
our ears — Bob Strachan is a pleasant re- -|-
lief, He makes sure his brain is engaged
before putting his mouth in gear.

After meeting Mr, Strachan at the ‘‘or-
dinary, everyday, sit-and-chat” level, we're
more than convinced that all of the human
dynamos in B.C.'s “Dynamic Society" are
not sitting on the Government side of the
House.

_ At least one of them is sitting on the
Opposition side!

NOT ALL THE brains Canada has ex-
ported are a real loss to this country. There
is John Kennéth Galbraith, -for instance,
who went to Harvard from Southwestern
Ontario and turned left, . ;

He wrote a book about people being so
affluent that there should be laws to com-
pel everyone who has a second car to sell
it and turn the proceeds thereof over to the
bureaucrats for their use and benefit. He
wrote another book about the people
around the farms whom he knew as a boy
and he wesn’t alwoys kindly in his express-
ed thoughts abut them, And now he has
said ta the Canadian Manufacturers Asso-
ciation that the time is coming for a legally
established minimum income for all.
