The character of these elections By Stephanie L evitz
There is one good reason, largely ignored, for Jean Chrétien to have called the election only three and a half years into his mandate — it has wiped U.S. election cover age off the pages and screens of Canadian media. But while we are shielded from the character debates from south of the border, it appears as though we have our own. Unique to this Canadian election is the focus on the leaders, rather than their parties. In elections past, it has not been the character of the politicians under scrutiny, but their parties' policies and actions. The minute Stockwell Day jumped on that jet ski, everything changed. Now the campaign has become a character contest, with Day and the other party leaders trying to win support for themselves not by attacking the Liberal party, but Chrétien himself. Suddenly, the quality of leadership is up for debate. It should be. The youthful image that Day has crafted for himself is a direct contrast to the wrinkles of Chrétien. Try as he might, jumping on a scooter is not going to disguise the fact Diat Chrétien is a political hack, so immersed in politics that he is out of touch — unless he is physically grabbing them — with the Canadian public. He wants this election for one reason: to keep himself in power. This political superiority complex has led journalists to nickname nis campaign plane "Aero-gance." Day's plane was named "Prayer Force One" — a play on the fact that Day has committed him self to spending Sundays with his family and in prayer. Some have criticized this decision, saying that a political leader has to be on call 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. That's true, but on the flip side, Day's ch o ice brings a warm and fu zzy side to Canadian political methods that isn't found anywhere else in this campaign. Canadian politics has never focused on the person before —we generally leave the saxophone playing and Big Mac eating to our neighbours south of the border. That Stock's personal and religious values have become an issue in this campaign marks a change from that. And it is a good one. One of the reasons that Pierre Trudeau was so revered by the Canadian public was that he allowed his character to shine through. Canadians were given glimpses of his per sonal life and in turn could relate to their leader. This makes for a unified country. This is not to say that Canada will rally behind Stockwell simply because we know he enjoys watersports and spend ing time with his family. His policies may be too conserva tive for us liberal minded Canucks. Thus, we are left with the prospect of another four years of such Prime Ministerial goodies as "Pepper? I put that on my plate." It is unfortunate that the Liberal party machine does not have a policy that limits the number of terms a leader can serve. Then King Jean could take his place in the annals of Canadian history and give us a Liberal leader to like, not laugh at. Imagine. A Prime Minster that Canadians like and respect. It won't be found in the outcome of this election, but you can't fault the candidates for trying. th e

C ro ssw o rd
w e e k , m y r ec ipe c o l u m n is t s
w ere ready to step up to the plate1
and bring you som e delectable dish or another, but I d ecided to cut in to provide a bit o f a challenge at the same tim e as a d eligh tful recipe. T h e recipe is fo r
Chocolate Chip Cookies.
G o hom e right now, stopping
on ly at the store to pick up any ingredients you d on ’ t have, and make these co o k ie s . Y o u w ill not be disappointed. T h e y w ill be the best cookies y o u ’ v e e v er had, I shit you not. H e re ’ s the recipe: • One cup soft butter2
• 1 & 1/8 Cups o f Flour
• H a lf a cup B row n Sugar (b ab y) • H a lf a cup W h ite Sugar • O ne E gg
• 1/2 tsp Salt • 1/2 tsp B aking P ow d er • One cup C h ocolate Chips
• 3/4 tsp V an illa
Recipe Ingredients First, turn the o v e n on to 350°, and m ake sure you h a ve som e m ilk ready. M ix up the butter and the sugars and the v an illa *. N ext, put in the e g g and m ix it all up, so that the e g g is beaten. M ix the dry ingred i ents minus the chocolate chips together in a separate b ow l (o r not, i f you d on ’ t want to d o ) then m ix these into the butter m ixture*. N o w m ix in the chocolate chips. G et a cook ie sheet and grease it up using butter or margarine, then spoon the dough onto the sheet in ping-pong ball sized increments. M a k e sure you le a v e room fo r the cook ies to rise, w hich means fall; by this I mean leave them far enough apart from each other so that when they b ecom e cookies they w o n ’ t touch each other. C o o o k them fo r eight to ten minutes, and try not to bum your mouth on

Footnotes 1 - as it were. 2 - If you really want to have fun, try this. Instead of 350, set the oven to something around 325. Use more like between 1 & 1/3 and 1 & 1/2 cups o f butter and around 1&2/3 cups of chocolate chips. Do everything the same, except cook the cookies for longer, more like 12 or 13 minutes. These cookies are fairly serious, so don’t waste them on your health-conscious friends, because those people just won’ t get it. * - These asterix-marked areas would be particularly good times to eat the dough. These cookies are truly amazing, but the dough may be even better. If there’ s any thing better than cookie dough, I’ m not sure if I’ ve ever seen it, or tasted it at least.

Ethics and values Continued from Page 15 achieve authenticity since humans are selfish b y nature. H a tc h er e la b o r a t e d th a t authenticity should be ach ievab le through relig ion because relig ion is universal, and should be som ething that all human beings have in co m m o n . H o w e v e r , h u m an b e in g s have interpreted relig io n and cu l tu rally re fo rm e d it. T h is is r e le vant, H atcher maintained, because c u ltu r e an d i d e o l o g y a re n o t instinctive. U n like universals, they are le a r n e d ; th e y are b a s e d on b e lie f s , and h a v e th e a b ilit y to d ivid e people. Id eologies, to som e p e o p le , are m ore im portan t than human life. “ O n c e y o u b e lie v e that any idea is literally greater than human b e in g s th en f o r y o u , it b e c o m e s m o r a lly p e rm is s ib le to s a c r ific e human beings fo r the propagation o f that idea,” opined Hatcher. It is this r e lig io u s id e o lo g y , H a tc h e r continued, that “ g iv e s le g itim a c y to certain inauthentic behaviours,” w h ere in acts o f m urder are c o n d o n e d as a c ts o f m a r t y r d o m . H atcher bem oaned m an’ s tendancy fo r selective interpretation o f holy text. For exam ple, the teachings o f Jesus preach ubiquitous and altruis it ic lo v e . H o w e v e r , m an has m anaged to p ick and choose parts o f th e c a ta c h is m , c r e a t in g a Christian d octrin e that has led to centuries o f crusades and slaughter o f b o th C h r is t ia n s an d n o n Christians alike. “ T h e w o rs t e v il is r e lig io u s fa n a tic is m ,” H a tc h e r re m a rk ed . “ This is because nothing w ill stop it; it is a universal replaced by cul ture” . A l l r e lig io n s h a v e c o m m o n elem ents in that there are u n iver sals in all, y et som ehow , relig io n has ju s t p ro v id e d hu m anity w ith another w a y o f d ividin g. Hatcher maintains that “ murder is still mur der,” regardless o f w h ose name it is in. It is a b u n d a n tly c le a r w h y p e o p le cou ld be v e ry attracted to th e B a h a ’ i F a ith an d to D r. H a tc h er’ s th eo ry o f authenticity. T h e m essage o f disregarding d iver s ity and e m b ra c in g s im ila r ity is especially poignant at a tim e when one cannot open a newspaper w ith out being bom barded b y visions o f arm less children in Sierra L e o n e, the continuous strife in Ireland, the M i d d l e E a s t, th e I v o r y C o a s t, im a g e s o f B o s n ia , and ou r o w n c o u n t r y ’ s d a ily s t r u g g le s w ith Quebec separatism.

Dr. Hatcher has written many books and published many articles. Other works by Dr. Hatcher are The Ethics o f Authenticity, (1997) and The Law o f Love Enshrined, (1996)

G u ess a g a in . In w r itin g and d ire c tin g B la ir Witch 2: Book o f Shadows, B erlin ger hoped to create a sequel not just to the first m o v ie but to the public reaction that f o l lo w e d its release. Shot in realistic documentary style, and backed by a c le v e r Internet cam paign, The Blair Witch Project g ot m edia-conscious N o rth A m e r ic a n s b u z z in g . A v e ra g e -J o e characters and a set ting not so far fro m hom e coupled w ith the ever-present p ossibility o f the supernatural had hundreds lined up outside o f m o v ie theatres. T h e

Rather than start the new film w h e r e th e o ld o n e l e f t o f f , B erlin ger capitalised on the public reaction and kicked o f f round tw o w ith a n o w -fa m ilia r tactic— danc ing the blurry line betw een reality and fiction. Thus, Book o f Shadows op en s w ith an a lm o s t b e lie v a b le d o c u m e n ta r y s h o rt a b o u t th e im pact o f the first film on the rustic town, and the reaction o f both v is i tors and residents.

A s in Scream, there are references to various classic horror f ilm s — b a r k in g d o g s r e c a ll The Omen, the sounds o f children c ry ing are sim ilar to the voices in the o rig in a l version o f The Haunting. But w h ile Scream intends its e v o c a tio n s o f film s past as a qu asisatirical lo o k at the horror genre, the references in Book o f Shadows are d evo id o f such w ry irony. Perhaps the latter’ s m ost seri ous fo ib le , h o w e v e r , is the o v e r z e a lo u s u s e o f t e c h n o lo g y o n screen. T h e first night in the w oods has h u n t-lead er J e ff s ettin g up a r id ic u lo u s array o f v id e o e q u ip m e n t. L a t e r , in th e d e c a y in g "urban-style" warehouse he inhab its in the m iddle o f nowhere, there
Book o f Shadows as "a m editation on v iolen ce in the m edia, and how the m e d ia shapes an e v e n t." I t ’ s supposed to be a postm odern loo k at the relationship betw een what is r e a l and w h a t is p e r c e iv e d , and h ow hysteria can alter perceptions. Sw itching fro m the first film ’ s use o f an im p ro v is e d script and barem in im u m m a te r ia ls to a h o k e y scrip t and b ig g e r e ffe c ts p re v e n t Book o f Shadows fro m b e in g the s o c ia l c o m m e n t it trie s to b e b y Tem ovin g the ambiguous quality o f
The Blair Witch Project. T h e m es s a g e o f the s e q u e l is lo s t in the
o v e r -p r o d u c e d , c le a r ly im a g in e d m elee on-screen. In short, it’ s too fake to be scary. Though them atically w ell-con sid ered , Book o f Shadows d e fie s the v id -s to r e -c la s s ic status o f its p re d e c es s o r becau se it lacks tw o vital ingredients: subtlety and spontanaeity. Ironically, these traits are con ven tion ally am on g B e rlin g e r’ s strongest. In transposing his ideas to feature film , B erlin ger broaches n e w t e r r i t o r y — b u t r a th e r than using the lim itless possibilities f ic tion offers to his film ’ s advantage, he produces a p ie c e that is o v e rthe-top, rife w ith g ore and cliché, and e n t ir e ly t o o s e lf- c o n s c io u s am id new surroundings. Perhaps he should stick to documentaries.

b e easier to b e in V a n c o u v e r and just start there and g o right across, but then you have to g o all the w ay back, s o ...I d on’ t know. T rib u n e : B u t i f y o u had to

Andy: I ’ v e got a lot o f fam ily out west in V an couver and I really like the islands up there. It’ s pretty low -key, though, so I d on ’ t think I cou ld handle it fo r v e ry lon g. W e lik e T o r o n to , but w e r e a lly lik e Montreal - because it seems to have m ore character than out west. T h e people seem to have m ore personal ity.

I try to liv e b y the sim ple phi losophy that I am always right, but Jackie Chan m ovies defin itely pre sent an e x c e p tio n to the g en e ra l crappiness o f m artial arts m ovies. This ow es to the fact that Chan is an entertainer w h o happens to k n o w martial arts, as opposed to an athlete tryin g desperately to be entertain ing.
