6. Terrace Review — Wednesday, October 28, 1987 - Letter Do Canadians. needa process — to impeach? ‘To the Editor; When democracy is no longer democracy and our represen- . tatives no longer represent us, there is nothing that we can do in Canadian law that will remove a Premier or Prime Minister. The Attorney General may remove him if he goes insane, but short of that there are no provisions. One of the cornerstones of democracy is that our leaders campaign on promises. We elect them because we believe that they will live up to those pro- mises. If they do not live up to those promises, then they have — not honestly represented us and are in fact working on their own ° agenda, which isn’t democracy . but autocracy or fascism or something similar: -— Mulroney’s government _ recently passed a Secrecy bill © that seems to-have done nothing to change access to information, something he promised to do during his campaign. He thus can be said to have committed fraud. He made a verbal contract with the Cana-- dian people and seems to have broken it. Vander Zalm, by invoking Bills 19 and 20 is touching off a serious labor dispute in British Columbia after he promised that his reign would end all that. These people were elected on the basis of promises that, so far, they haven’t kept. If an-ordinary citizen obtains goods or services on false pretenses, and is caught, he or she will be brought to trial. Yet our leaders, the figure-heads of our supposedly fair and just system, go scott free. To rectify this serious -loophole in our’ democratic system, to ensure accountability, I hereby propose a private citizen’s bill calling for impeach- | ment of our leaders if their party fails to remain true to their elec- tion promises, without complete and open. justification at a public inquiry to the satisfaction of the judges of the Supreme ‘Court of Canada. Entertainment this f Northern Motor Our system is being eroded by these rogue politicians that make ad hoc legislation to appease their whims. Unfortunately, the Mulroney government would never carry such a bill to the House because he would probably be the first to be kicked out over the secrecy thing. 1 would hope that some Senator or opposition member would have the courage to carry this protection of our system to the House.

Opportunities exist for health savings Letter: ‘Té the Eaitor; : _— a On the question of medical : service fees and all the talk these days about who should or ‘should not pay, please allow me to give my opinion. To adopt any kind of two-tier system is not the route to go, ' Firstly, those who earn more — and we’re talking now pri- ‘marily of the middle income bracket — pay their share to so- ciety in the way of higher taxes of all kinds.
