Tories must

Dear Editor,

The most fundamental aspect of the current cause
of inflation is the federal deficit. The refusal to ac-
cept this fact and the continued use of the high in-
terest rate as a temporary inflation control instru-
ment is causing permanent damage to Canadian
business and,therefore, to our overall economy.

Mulroney and his Conservative government have,
through their failure to deal with the deficit, doubled
Canada’s national debt in less than six years. Their
high interest rate policy only aggravates the deficit
and increases the rate at which our debt grows.

At the presem rate of debt growth the debt ap-

reduce debt

pears to be heading for a level where we will no
longer be able to pay the interest on it. This in turn
will give us the same problems as those of the Third
World countries who overborrowed to “‘create a
good life’ for their people.

We must write our MPs, MLAs, news editors and
others of influence, like the Chambers of Commerce,
to force the government to change this policy. We
can’t afford to wait another two years as by then it
may be ioo late.

Please act today!

Open Letter to 1991 graduation
committees:

With the emphasis these days
on the future well-being of. the
planet, ecological conservation
and sound fiscal management in
order to achieve these programs,
would it not be a good idea for
your graduation class to change
the course of history and perform
some significant community activ-
ity for which your group could
receive credit and public ac-
colades?

In the past, the major contribu-
tion made by youths visible to the
general public has been the graffiti
sprayed on bridges, rocks and
other public places. It is time to
put all this to rest and take a
responsible attitude to the larger
community you are about to enter
as graduates from high school,
where your contribution will be
welcomed and your efforts
suitably rewarded.

An interest in community af-
fairs and local management and

politics could help change the di-
rection of recent years, where
many politicians are ridiculed,
mistrusted and perceived to be out
to satisfy only their own interests
and feather their own nests,

ft is time for a change for the
better and who better to initiate
this than the graduating classes of
1991?

Dear Editor,

The Young Greens of North Vancouver deserve
much credit for organizing the recent Rally for the
Earth in Lynn Valley.

It is only by such positive demonstrations of their
energy, and determination to change attitudes
towards consumerism and pollution that we shall
have any hope of lessening the damage the ever-in-
creasing human population is wreaking on this
planet.

The recent fracas at McDonald’s in which the
young Greens protested against the use of 2cological-

ly unsound products should not deter our support of
our Young Greens. Remember, youth can be equated
with enthusiasm and spirit, but it is mot always
tempered with discretion.

lc is a happy outcome that McDonald's has an-
nounced its withdrawal of -the use of foam con-
tainers, and despite the Young Greens’ indiscretion
of trespass, they have achieved their purpose, and
helped our only planet to become a little less sick.
