'A Family Tradition for 127 Years" Letters to the editor Mulroney legacy will haunt PCs To the Editor: The pendulum has swung full circle. Like a phoenix rising from the ashes of past defeat the Liberals have swept the - P.C.s leaving them with only two seats in all of Canada -- the lowest in history. The Mulroney legacy will live to haunt P.C.s for decades. The worst thing for the coun- try is another majority govern- ment. We had it for years with Mulroney and with Trudeau. Power corrupts -- absolute pow- er corrupts absolutely. We must end blatant patronage and perks of the Trudeau-Mulroney era. Let's hope that the im- mense concentration of power with the Liberals in Ottawa and the Bloc in Quebec that they won't take on the arrogance of the past 25 years of Mulroney and Trudeau. Demands for more and more power for Quebec by the Bloc combined with the reality of separation leaves English Can- ada to once again face the black- mail tactics of give us what we demand or we'll separate! Trudeau said Quebec sets the agenda the rest of Canada fol- lows. Serge Joyal former Sec. of State for Trudeau is now a sen- No right answer From Page 6 and control ourselves and our children. We shouldn't expect someone else to do it for us. The arguments about should we or shouldn't we publish personal ads is much like the controversy surrounding the ongoing abortion issue. There are two sides with two distinct views on this subject and both are convinced they are right. n otherwords, there is no right answer, because no matter what the decision there will always be some who disagrees. Three little ads in the Port Perry Star does not a monster make. This paper has always tried to be a good corporate citizen and will continue to do so. This sometimes means publishing letters and ads which we don't personally en- dorse. But we strongly believe that we should not become cen- sors just because we don't agree. That's freedom of expression, and as long as the material falls within the bounds of the law, there's no reason to censor and reject it because we have a differ- ing opinion. Propefully those who feel so intensely they are threatened by these ads, that they've threatened to cancel their subscription to the Port Perry Star, will also give seri- ous consideration to removing their TV sets and stop purchasing the daily newspapers, videos an magazines. | if you're really serious, it seems like the right thing to do! ee rt f DIET MAGIC E Lose up to 20 lbs. £2 a = on in 40 days on 5 herbal products ig = R=, ior advisor to Chretien. Joyal said "I and a number of col- leagues are working to make Canada a French state." As Jus- tice Minister inthe Trudeau government Chretien was ap- proached to act on the Supreme Court decision that French only Bill 101 was unconstitutional. His reply, "it's too sensitive a matter." He also said, "French is too deeply entrenched to be threatened." : The United Nations ruled re- cently that Quebec's sign law vi- olates individual rights and freedoms. Bill 178 was used to overside the Charter of Rights. Both Ottawa and Quebec an- swered the UN decision by ig- noring the UN and replying to the ruling in French. Bouchard has run his campaign on more power for Quebec, with eventu- al separation. English Canada has bowed to Quebec's demands for decades. Combining the Bloc's 54 seats with Chretien's 177, Quebeck- ers hold massive powers, with a total of 231 seats out of 295. The P.C.'s only hold one seat outside Quebec. The burden of repre- sentation for English Canada goes to the Reform party. How Chretien deals with Bouchard's demands will de- cide the future of Canada. His past record was dismal, weak and indecisive. He has made many promises to win. Let's see how well he will keep them. Re- member "yesterdays promises are tomorrows taxes."
