‘QUAINT DRIVEL’

Cuddly Doug isn't essential

Dear Editor:

So it seems that Doug
Coilins is the North Shore
News’ ‘‘contribution"' to the
“debate and discussion”
that is ‘‘essential to the
health of our community
and country’, (Advertise-
ment “'Beware of Doug!” in
Western Living Magazine,
August 1985). Interesting
apology that....

It always seemed ta me
that Collins relied on a mix-

Dear Editor:

I would like to thank Mr.
Ross Meek of your paper,
together with Mr. Terry
Peters, for the article which
appeared in your edition of
the North Shore News, Sun-
day, August 25. I found the
article well written and ex-
ecuted. | should however
like to point out that the
term printed as Fung sei is
incorrect and is spelled

ture of myth, scissors-and-
paste logic and = sensa-
tionalism to forward his
views. Certainly he has the
right to voice his quaint
white-supremacist, reac-
tionary drivel but please
don’t ask us to accept that
this man has anything
significant to contribute to
“the debate.’’ He’s a pathet-
ic individual who has chosen
to turn his back on the com-
plexities of the world. His

opinion is not born of any
rigorous thought or piercing
insight but of ignorance,
fear and hatred. Therefore
Collins avoids unravelling
issues by considering various
perspectives and instead opts
to direct his vitriol once
again against ‘‘the
Enemy"’—the Jews, liberals,
French Canadians, im-
migrants, and women.
So that’s your contribu-
tion to the debate, eh? —

cuddly Doug in grey flannels
and a blue blazer. Contrary
to your assertion, 1 think
Collins is neither ‘‘forceful"'
nor ‘essential to the health
of the community’ but
rather a sad reflection of a
newspaper bent on boosting
sales through gimmickry. Do
yourself a favor and hire
some talent. Perhaps Stan
Persky?

Only question is
number of votes

Dear Editor:

So W. Lovitt thinks that
West Vancouver has
“foisted’’ its bus garage on
North Vancouver? I can’t
tell whether he is serious or
taking a little jab at us to the
west. If serious, he is wrong.
You had already given us the
story on Premier Bennett’s
little pre-election goodie

delivered to us over here.
The location costs Victoria
nothing, of course, since it is
on or adjoins the disused
ICBC facility. Will Premier
Bennett's little sleight of
hand garner the Socreds any
North Shore votes? That's
the only question.
