Letters to the editor

Dear Sir:

I’m writing in response
to a recent letter from Ro-
bert Baker in which ex-
plained that he was in
an intense discourse with
some youth about the state
of B.C.’s economy and that
he had invited them to at-
tend a meeting at the
R.E.M. Lee Theatre to see
some democracy in action.
“Well, it tumed out that

Harris was also too busy to

one to tell you, but thase

were wrong.

Dear Sir:

In response to the long
awaited report on EI staff
cutbacks, it is definitely
first time news to this ex-
El staff member the EI
‘claims have decreased by
half and this was the rea-
“son 10-contract employees

According to my recol-
lection (and collaboration
of ex-co-worker’s memor-
ies), we were advised we
were not being extended
due to budget restraints

Hockey over politics

and provincial politicians
it becomes quite clear that
politicians will say any-
thing to get elected even
though they have no inten-
tion of following through.

in our elected officials and

Dear Sir:

The recent headline Regular Saleway Pure Beef Boneless Pork Loin
“Methanex Natural Gas Ground Beel 1/4 Th. Patties , Sirloin Chops
Deal will Cost Users Sold in aS th, Chub tor Ordeasened. Frozen. Sold ing vee *Tendertain End.

what else Is new.
Whenever PNG and

Methanex get their heads

together, it is the consu-

‘mer who pays. Methanex
gets the breaks and the
consumer gets to pay.
. Maybe somebody can
‘tell me what Methanex is
supposed to be doing be-
sides getting big rate cuts?
The B.C. Utilities Com-
mission is hearing argu-
ments.
Why waste the money?
It is a foregone conclusion
as to how they will decide.
