6 -- PORT PERRY STAR -- Tuesday, October 8, 1985 Editorial Comments (From page 4) the Commons and the people of Canada that he is not a har. And that, probably, 1s the most discouraging aspect of all the pro- blems Mulroney and the Tories have faced in the past four weeks. When the Prime Minister has to stand up in the Commons and declare that he is not a har, it 1s a sad day for the country. He steam-rolled into power a little over a year ago; a fresh voice and face, full of promises for a new style and a new kind of govern- ment. The people of Canada were ready for him. They put their faith and their trust in him in the hopes that he somehow would grab hold of the rudder and steer our ship of state into calmer waters. Heaven knows that after all the rocky shoals of the Trudeau era, Canada badly needed a new captain at the helm. Sadly, it did not come to pass. Public confidence has been given a slap in the face. The word on the street corners and in the coffee shops across the land is that no matter who are running the country, they are going to mess things up. Politics is a dirty word again in Canada. Politicians, ho matter what political stripe they wear, are again being viewed by the com- mon folk as a bunch of bungling, carping, incompetents more in- terested in the welfare of their own necks than the well being of the country. That's the perception. The country is the real loser.

Correction The Star would like to correct an error which occurred in an obituary for William (Bill) Mark in last weeks issue. The paragraph in error should have read as follows: "He is surviv- ed by his wife Ethel, daughter Lucille (Mrs. Bert Gray), sons Harold of Whitby and Keith of Port Perry and a brother Tony of Port Perry. He was predeceased by a son Gordon of Stratford. The Star regrets the error. Chatterbox (continued) Mom had to make a little speech at the end and she cried a little.
