WE asked the candidates to tell us
why voters should trust them. Here
are the responses to press-time:

Bill Tomlinson, North Vancouver
Seymour Libertarian: “I would strongly
urge voters not to trust me or any other
politician with their hard-earned money.
Neither | nor anybody else can spend other
people's money as wisely and efficiently as
the person who earns it. | would not expect
. ‘to be trusted until | have had an opportunity
to. show how dedicated Libertarians are to

reducing government spending and the tax-

“ution that goes with it.”

. . Mike Becker, West Vancouver- —
Garibaldi Social Credit: “1 hop: ahat when
people hear about, read about or meet me, :
they will sec that 1 am sincere. I really
believe issues that affect people in the West
Vancouver-Garibaldi riding are my priori-’
ty.”

- Sheila Eltiott, North Vancouver- -
Lonsdale Natural Law Party: “The only
way to ensure that preper decisions in gov-
ermment occur is to make sure that the col-
lective consciousness of the people is main-
tained.

". “The Natural Law Party, which stands for respon-
sibility, accountability, and integrity, will always

maintain a group of. yogic flyers to maintain that
coherence and in that way be able to make responsi-
bie, correct decisions. Any government that does not
have a group of yogic flyers to create this coherence
is bound to fail."

‘Ted Shandro, West Vancouver-Capilano
Reform: “The basic policies of Reform BC ensure
voters’ trust: Any MLA acting in an unethical manner

: will not be able to sit in cubinet and Won't be allowed

to run for the party again.”
«Jim Kelly, West Vancouver-Capilano Family
Coalition Party of B.C.: “Traditional family values
carries. a- message. It's a message most voters will
recognize and trust.”

Caroline Meredith, North Vancouver-Seymour

. Reform: “I'am bound by the Reform BC Voters’ war-
ranty. I promise to uphold your trust or I will resign.

-, Voters in North Vancouver-Seymour can trust me
because of my unblemished record in the communi-

: ty as a | special- -needs educator for over 14 + years.”

Capilano Larry Gillanders chats with Balmoral secondary
students Dean Yamagata (left) and Caroline Dobuzinskis.
He was at the school on Tuesday to ask students what
question they would like him to ask on their behalf at the
BCTV leaders’ debate.

Daniel Jarvis, North Vancouver-Seymour
Liberal: “As I’ve stated frequently and publicly
many times since my election, the fact that the peo-
ple honored me with their trust remains a highlight of
my career. I believe that trust was built on the more
than three decades of ethical, responsible and respon-
sive business dealings | established and maintained
with literaily thousands of North Shore residents.”

Larry Gililanders, West Vancouver-Capilano
Social Credit: “Trust is something that you either
have or you don’t — you can't promise it. As a busi-
ness person I arn used to delivering on what I say {
am going to do.”

Stanley Dzuba, North .Vancouver-Lonsdale
Reform: “I have a distinguished and unblemished
public record and have observed a high standard of
ethical conduct during my working career. I wouldn’t
make any promises which could not be implemented
by the Reform BC Party.”

Peggy Stortz, West Vancouver-Garibaldi
Green Party: “People can trust me because I am a

_gentle, simple-living woman. My motivation for run-

ning in this election is to facilitate positive change for

the people of this riding and for the contin-
uation of all life on earth. 1 aspire to bring
peace, joy and creativity wherever I go.”

Royston Forsyth, North Vancouver-
Lonsdale = Progressive Democratic
Alliance: “As a) candidate with the
Progressive Democratic Alliance Party [
have no baggage to carry. Our party has no
‘alfiliation with big business, union execu-
tives, special interest groups or bureauerat-
ic paybucks to look after. How many candi-
dates have the freedom to represent the
wishes of the electorate without fear of
backlash from their party line policies?"

Brenda Broughton, West Vancouver:
Garibaldi NDP: “You can’t ask for trust.
You must earn it. Like parents everywhere,
my husband Michael and | have strived to
create an atmosphere of trust for our fami-
ly. T believe that the residents of Lions Bay,
where I have served as mayor for.the past
two and a half years, would say that I have.
proven myself to be worthy of their indi-
vidual und collective trust.”

Ted Nebbeling, West Yoncouver-
Garibaldi Liberal: “No voter in West
Vancouver-Garibaldi should trust me (or
any other politician) solely on the basis of what they
read in a newspaper, even the North Shore News.
Trust is built on observation, experience and commu-
nication, preferably one-on-one. I urge every voter to
come to an all candidates meeting, visit my campaign
office, step me on the street, call me directly (at 922-
1121) or invite me to your home and see for your-
self.”

Jim Mercier, West Vancouver-Garibaldi
Reform: “Unlike the Liberals and NDP, our party
has not lied to the voters before. Further.to that, we
offer a ‘money-back guarantee’ in our voters’ war-
ray .
Matthew Ferguson, West Vancouver-Capilnno
Green Party: “The voters of West Vancouver-
Capilano can trust me because as a 23-year-old
recent university graduate I have no corporate affitia-
tions or ties to any self-interested special interest’
groups.” . ; cea,
