The Socreds have
favored the wealthy
and the powerful

Dear Editor:

It's painfully obvious that B.C.
needs a change of government.
Even without their long-standing
record of corruption, the present
Social Credit government has con-
sistently favored the wealthy and
the powerful over average British
Columbians and has consistently
ignored the needs of the future.

_ In view of this government’s
appalling record, both in political
morality and in the handling of
issues like health care and the en-
vironment, the Socred election
strategists are forced to:

.@ try to arouse public fears by
distorting the economic picture in
Ontario,

@ cover their fiscal ineptitude by
using figures based on dishonest
accounting practices,

Proviem,

I hope that North Shore voters
will not be taken in by such ploys.
What we need at this time is an

one that cares about aif British
Columbians and about the future
as well as the present. While 1
don’t see Mike Harcourt and his
colleagues as perfect, they seem to
me by far our best hope at this
time.

‘Take a look at the

Socred fiscal! record

Dear Editor: |
it should not astonish voters in
B.C. that the major plank in the
Socred platform in this upcoming
and much-delayed election should
be an attack on ancther province's
government. As bizarre as it
seunds, if you had a record like
‘the Soctal Credit government,
wouldnt you want to resort to

"diversionary scare tactics also?

«> Let’s Sook at the Socral fiscal
record vighi heze in B. c. — that’s
seary enough:

1. Mismanagement of road
‘maintenance through overhasty
_ privatization.

2. Decentralization (bet you'd

‘forgotten about that one, eh?) —

*- a total fizzle, but not before a few
. of your bucks had been misspent
— about 15 million!

. 3. Undervaluation of . at least
two’ huge parcels of land sold to

. private developers — Westwood

Plateau and the Expo lands (un-
teld losses).

How about
a scented
‘seawall?

Dear Editor:

:T was appreciating the West
Vancouver seawalk recentiy as [
walked in the moonlight.

What pleasure it would be to
add the fragrance of night-scented
flowers and herbs reminiscent of
country gardens and lanes. How
about night scented stock, honey-
suckle and petunias?

Over to you garden experts and
the West Vancouver Parks Board,
for next summer's nights.

on HEALTH CARE

GG6Health care is a priority for British
Columbians and our government knows it. In
fact, one third of the total provincial budget
this year wiil go to health care ... the highest
percentage of all the provinces.

But still we face challenges ... surgery
waiting lists that must be shortened ... keep- s
ing pace with staffing requirements ... advances in technology and
equipment needs ... all put a huge strain on our health care system.

And any suggestion of user fees and the possibility of a two-tier systern
must be of concern to us all.

The Social Credit government recognized these issues and undertook a
Royal Commission on Health so that all British Columbians could have a
say. Now it is essential that the findings of that Commission be reviewed
and implemented as quickly as possible.

You and J must work together to keep health care in B.C. as vital and

‘healthy’ as it can be. It's for our own good. 99
