Photo Heres a toast to brother Doug Dear Editor Please consider this letter as a very sincere Toast to my brother Doug Just when I was becoming very disgusted with all the hysterical ranting and raving coming from my radio set of voices of party leaders tearing Canada apart but putting out no constructive new Ideas one even calling our cool Prime Minister a liar and so on and on words words words And thinking to myself that we must be stupid or too apathetic when we pay for a government where the opposition members wont sit down with the r party and get logical intelligent legislation through without so much time lost and wasted what they seem to do Is act like a pack of dogs Just to overthrow the in government is that what we pay them for And remembering acutely that of course this Is not happening in our Provincial government because they have been over whelmingly In for far too long until It is almost a dictatorship I was appalled to hear that the Provincial Premier whom we pay to work for the people of Ontario Is taking off to other provinces to prop up his federal leader Then come a voice In the wilderness a longdistance call from Brampton Peel- DufferlnSimcoe
