Doug Anderson, publisher and owner of the Whitby Free Press, has announced that ho will seek eloction in Ontario riding. Making his first attempt at public office, Anderson dlaims his candidacy will give voters the option of electing someone who will "actuaUly represent them" in Ottawa. In a prepared statement, Anderson says ho is «fed up" with politicians who say any- thing ta get elocted and thon proceed ta ignore the wishes of their constituents. "Evory speech an-d promise from tho main parties is com- plotely irrelevant," says Ander- son. "Because there is absolutely no reason te believe they wiIl do anything that they say -- and people know it. That's the real issue.» Anderson's "passionate» belief in democracy will serve him well as an MP, ho says. "Democracy is based on repro- sontation and I will vote the way the majority of my constituents want me to,'h promises.

"I still question its constitu- tionality," says Anderson. "The courts ruled on very nar- row, legalistic grounds," hoe maintains. "'I feit the GST law was illegalr because its passage through h (House of) Commons and a packed Sonate was a donial of the absolutely fundamental prin- ciples of democracy.
