That became clear on the afternoon of Friday, April 2nd, when the three major political parties got together and rammed through the House of Commons an electoral gag law which will stifle our freedoms of speech and association during elections â€" the most critical period in a democracy. * This gag law threatens citizens with up to five years imprisonment if they independently spend more than $1,000 â€" individually or as a group â€" to support or oppose parties or candiâ€" dates during federal elections. To most Canadians, this Iaw would represent a draconian attack on freeâ€" dom. To politicians, however, it‘s simâ€" ply a way to control the political debate. The gag law will make federal elections a virtual closed shop for proâ€" fessional politicians... a monopoly for parties. All independent voices will effectively be silenced. Fortunately, this antiâ€"democratic law can still be stopped.

If you have any questions about fire safety, don‘t hesitate to contact the Fire Prevention Bureau of the Oakville Fire Department at 338â€"4404. They will be happy to assist you.

It didn‘t make a whole lot of sense to me. So I vaguely said something about the government in charge there not being so good and the president should not be in his job. ‘"But can‘t people vote him away?" she queried. I had to give the kid top marks for tenacity. Even then, I was fashioned activism for good measure. "But how did 17 people die?
