Dear Editor:

Regarding Noel Wrigh:’s col-
umn More immigrants needed to
keep gran and gramp, is it not
totally contradictory to mandate
retirement at age 65 and then seek
to increase the younger population
to support those who have been
denied the right to support
themselves?

Furthermore, the logic of his
argument, taken to its conclusion,
is frightening. For an ever increas-
ing eiderly population we require
an ever increasing supply of im-
migrants who will themselves
become elderly and add to the
spiral of more people to support

MAILBOX

Immigration logic
is ‘frightening’

more people. Inevitably, we will
become, in terms of population,
another India or China.

I seriously doubt that the major-
ity of Canadians wish to leave such
a legacy for their descendants.

As for the elderly who require
care, we could provide that with
little hardship if only the politi-
cians would stop giving away our
tax dollars to countries which can-
not control their population
growth (the root cause of their
poverty), cease buying votes
(payouts to the various interest
groups in this country) and do
without a few nuclear submarines.

ICBC clarifies stats

Dear Editor:

The item ICBC Raises Rates in
your Dec. 30 editicn could cause
some confusion by mixing accident
statistics with claims statistics.

Over a year, there wiil be many
more claims reported to ICBC
than accidents filed with the
police.

One reason is that there are
many motor vehicle mishaps with
damages of under $400. Only those

over $400 are reported to the
police.

In addition, if you have two
vehicles involved in an accident,
each with a driver and one passen-
ger, this could result in two prop-
erty damage claims and four bodi-
ly injury claims to ICBC. That’s a
total of six claims out of one acci-
dent.
