The Clinic has been operating operating since 1985 after a growing need for such a service service was deemed necessary and funding was obtained from the Ontario Legal Aid Organization.

Columbia? That's where residents residents held a Canada Post car 'hostage' in early July. The reason: to save their 112-year-old federal postal service. How about Heron Bay North, Ontario? On July 10, members of the Pic River First Nation Band there set up a roadblock into Pukask- wa National Park in an effort effort to save their post office, also over 100 years old. Mings Bight, Nfld; Aroostook, Aroostook, N.B., and Falmouth, N.S., are also fighting hard at present to save their post offices. And there are many more. What does all this have to do with you? Well, since rural communities right across the country are sub- 'ect to the same Canada 'ost policy, your town could be next. Canada Post calls its privatization scheme "equal or better service"; we say it's a sham which always always leaves somebody the big loser. Usually it is the private contractor who unknowingly unknowingly takes on a poor postal contract, but it is often often customers and rural route drivers too. It all adds up to yet another way rural Canadians are devalued by the powers-that-be, who usually live in cities, far from the consequences of their ill-conceived schemes! Here's how Wes Keller, Editor of the Shelburne Free Press/Economist, sees it: "Canada Post has a curious way of satisfying the concerns concerns of its customers. But, on reflection, maybe the corporation corporation is simply acting in a manner consistent with the attitudes of all levels of government in the final decade decade of the 20th century. Those attitudes reflect a notion notion that governments and corporations are always right, that the masses are frequently wrong, and that the people eventually will accept whatever is handed to them, no matter how objectionable objectionable it might have seemed at first." Mr. Keller goes on to explain explain in his July 4 editorial how Canada Post's plan to install community mail boxes boxes (CMB'S) in Shelburne , showed a total lack of planning planning or sensitivity to local needs (not a surprise if you've dealt with Canada Post). And he rightly points but that the ultimate aim of these cost-cutting measures is to make Canada Post even more profitable so it can be totally privatized, the Mulroney government's acknowledged acknowledged plan. Then he asks: "Would the Shelburne post office be a necessity in a for-profit corporation, given the • Shelburne mail for-profit corp that the -Sh would be sorted in Mississauga Mississauga and distributed through the unpopular CMB'S. Very good question. The message is simple. It's time rural Canadians took back what is rightfully ours: the power to control our own lives, including the services which make our rural rural way of life worthwhile. Please let your Federal member of Parliament, your Provincial member of Parliament, Parliament, and Mr. Harvie Andre, Andre, Minister responsible for Canada Post, know that rural rural Canadians will no longer tolerate such abuse.
