The Don Kirkby, Terrace, B.C. ‘ Book on-line! www.hawkair.ca We're not puppets Dear Sir: Over the last few years I had become quite inter- ested in the Alliance party, but more recently on Ee listening to the party plat- eee eee form, I’m getting the ple- Sas ture that this party also would proceed in the dir- ection that Mulroney ‘set for Canadians. That is for our puppeti- zation or subservience ‘to the U.S. Who needs this? Because their wasteful existence depends on our resources, should’ -this mean that automatically we must tag along with. their forces of provocation ~ around the world? What are we doing sending our war ships to the Middle East to bolster U.S. military adventures. Rather than presenting ourselves as American puppets we should exer-_— cise our sovereignty by . neutrality.

This sly little trick enables his company to avoid many Canadian taxes and environmental regulations. One of Paul Martin’s ships was fined $125,000 after it dumped 90 litres of waste oil at sea. Does this sound like good Prime Minister ma- terial? Or would the termi- | nology be more like the pot calling the. ketile biack. Or better still, how ° about two crack pots get- ting rich at taxpayers ex- pense. ea eee a : - wore toa ve soe a ad
