signed, pure and simple. It is a bad deal
for democracy! It is a bad deal for sover-
eignty! Foreign investors will have the
right to suc governments, but citizens
will have almost no rights at ali, This is a

bad. bad deal for Canada. The U.S.
Congress is of the opinion that the MAI
is a bad deal for the U.S. and refisses to

Why then should our government

Persist in gomg aiong with this piece of

lunacy

Dear Editor:

I wonder what is going on
at othe Queens = Avenue
menagerie.

They have closed the road
through Lynn Valley park. It
has been closed — since
November.

There are a number of
signs on the gate and one says
thar the gate will be closed ar 6
p.m., bur it is never opened.

Today I learned the reason
for having the park out of ser-
vice, and it’s hard for me to
understand.

Why should owe — be
deprived of the full use of this
park? We paid for it. Well ...
would you believe the reason
given for this action is the road
was closed in order to stop
people — from dumping
unwanted articles?

What brilliant thinking.
This could be the answer to

~ the whiners of Garden Drive.
Just dump a couple of old TVs
and council will close the road.
OF course, no one asked me
about this problem.

T could solve the problem

+ for them at no cost to the
already weary taxpayer.

Is it any wonder when it
costs a bundle to get rid of any
unwanted items, that with the
high fees charged at the trans-
fer station and the environ-
ment surcharges, that people

‘are about to take the easy way
out.

One aip to the transfer sta-
uion is enough for any over-
charged citizen ‘to start look-
ing for the closest park.

In more advanced munici-

* palities the citizens are allowed
to pur out as much as needed
on wvo days of each year, on
their regular garbage day. In
that way, the old fridge or TV ©
can be disposed of.

This is too much for our
council: who have their hands
Out everywhere there is a
chance for an extra dollar.

This whole attitude is frus-
trating, maddening and totally
unreasonable.

By the way, my cynical
nature has me wondering if

there is a connection between
the generous pay raise the

councillors voted themselves,

and the motion for the legaliz-
ing of hemp and its byprod-
ucts.

Just asking ...
