North Van
objects to
excise tax

It was an evening for
eloquent statements con-
cerning Canada, its con-
stitution and its future
Monday in the council
chamber of North Van-
couver City.

And it boiled down to
Mayor Jack Loucks breaking
a tie vote in favour of
council “absolutely rejec-
ting” the proposed federal
excise (ax on the province's
natural gas and hydro-
electrical power exports.

The subject arose when
council considered a petition
being circulated by Tom
Sidden, M.P. opposing the
proposal.

“For 109 years British
Columbia has been treated
as a colony of Eastern
Canada,” said Alderman
Stella Jo Dean, who moved
support of Sidden’s petition.

She went on to say that it
was time for the province to
determine its own destiny.

“It’s Gime we in the West
stood up and were counted,”
said Alderman Bill
Sorenson.

And Alderman Gordon
Cross who commented that
it was “a very, very heavy
subject,” supported the
moton for another reason.

“Since 1973 this (Liberal)
government has been
spending billions and billions
and billions and _ billions
more than they have taken
in.... Now they are looking
for fresh pastures to sow.”

But the speeches were no

less eloquent in oppostion to
the mohion

“Otlawa ts not a foreign
country, the problems of
Ottawa are the problems of
British Columbia,”
Alderman Gary Payne said

“If we want to retire the
deficits in Ottawa we have to

Jook af ways of increasing
the revenue going to Ot
tawa

[Us really a question of
we here in our paradise on
the west coast being walhng
to share our bountiful wealth
with other provinces |
