Group rights have no place ina free and democratic society," Edgar said. A resident of Glen Williams since August, Edgar moved his wife and three kids from Toronto to what he con- siders a slice of paradise. "T love this town, I really do. It's like I died and went to Heaven. When my friends from Toronto come to visit they ask themselves, 'What am I doing living in To- ronto?'"
