Gord Mill's View.0 from Gord Milis, MPP Durham East "There ought Io be a law". Last weekend, upon arrîving a'ack home from a short vacation, 1 was greeted at both my office in Bowmanville and Toronto with mountains of mail. 1 have neyer worked eut the cost of replying te letters but have ne doubts that the volume of replies would add up te a fair sum. Don't mnisunderstand me, it is the right of every constituent te Write te me and te expect a reply back. What tends te upset me is the letters I receive based upon articles'in the newspapers which are cempletely erroneous in content. These types of articles fan public anger resulting in a deluge of mail te me which always seem te end with a demand for a reply forthwith if flot seener. Earlier this year, one notable Toronto tabloid-type newspaper publishied a number of stories indicating that welfare paid more than working for a living. This error-filled article subsequently clogged my constituency mail systemn. The articles that cail the government anti-business is yet another example Of stupid reporting. Lately there have been stories blaming the gevernment for stopping religious educatien in scheols; another story claimed that the geverfiment was te spend "millions of dollars" replacing ail ,ie traffic signs in Ontario with and any form of double-meanings, in ail newspapers. 'm sure that if 1 were to write articles containing anything less than the truth then my own credibility wyould disappear, and rightly se. Yet why do those columnîsts whio repeatedly write untruths stili have any credibility left with their readership? t leaves me dumbfounded, te say the least - the way 1 see it. French signs because Bob Rae was Ilsnuggling up te the Premier of Quebec"' and on and on. Once facts pertaining te government policies are printed truthfully, then their interpretation should be open for comment and 1 have ne objection to that at al ialaf truths, amnbigueus assembly of facts and the like only tend te get the reader angry, who in turn vents that anger through a letter te their elected representative. I think there ought te be a law about writing haif truths, misleading interpretations of fac, The CATERING CONNECTION ON THE SPOT CATERING Weddings - Anniversaries - Ail Banquets CHEE-SE TRAYS- MEAT PLATTERS - SALADS Fred & Patricia Storsbergen Orono 983-9679 MERVYN B3.
