wT A6 - The Terrace Standard, Wednesday, September 4, 2002 some environmental groups doing more harm than good | Dear Sir: . The full page ad which tecently appeared in The Terrace Standard entitled “Road to Ruin” deserves comment. The ad suggests that by building the Brad- field Connector road ‘to Alaska, the Americans will somehow steal our re- sources, Firstly most people realize that there are a lot of roads leading to the U.S., and there have been for quite some time. Has this ruined our country? Isn’t the U.S. our. biggest trading partner? Do we want to shut the door on our best customer? Secondly who is paying for this ad? It appears that well-funded U.S. environ- mental groups are behind: this blatant piece of misin- formation. With all due re- spect lo legitimate envir- onmental groups, I would suggest that the tactic of stopping all development is wholly counterproduc- tive to the environmental movement. Think about it. How do you fix real environmental problems? It will take a lot of money to mitigate such problems as Victoria’s dumping of raw sewage, cleaning up toxic waste or ensuring that our water supply is safe. Freedoms are eroded Dear Sir: We are living in an anti-democralic society. Our freedom, liberty and democracy fade away when one group can im- pose their views on every- one else. mo Elected officials are forced to support some- thing they don’t believe in. The people we elect officlals “can, tio ‘Tonget de=" cide What ‘the city will” support. Terrace city council re- ceived overwhelming sup- port for it’s decision not to proclaim “Gay Pride Day”. We also had a flood of re- quests to appeal the B.C. Human Rights Tribunal’s decision. It seems justice is only for those who can afford it, We bow to their demands because we do not have the funds to do otherwise. Tolerance should mean tolerance for everyone, even those who don’t be- lieve in same sex partners. Everyone should have freedom of choice. Human rights should be applied equally. Respect should be mutual. Homosexuals are crea- ting their own prejudices by forcing everyone else to_ accept their life style choices. We have not guarded our freedom well enough.
