Dear Editor: ’

Earlier this year, in May,
Garde Gardom, Minister for.

intergovernmental: Relations
in our provincial legislature,
wrote a letter to community
newspapers throughout
British Columbia. In it, he
expressed his deep concern
that our right to own prop-
erty had not been included in
the constitution.
‘*Property’’ docs, of
course, include much’ more
than just buildings, for
which the term generally us-
ed is ‘‘Real Property’. The
right 10 own ‘property. is

fundamental to a free socie- |

ty, and it, should be the duty

of any government in a free +

society to protect the right of

cach of us so that we may

Pro; op oerty loss —

-enjoy the peaceful use of our

real property without fear of

invasion or expropriation.
Unfortunately, most of us

are prepared to:

us. Complacent right up un-
til the bulldozers are tearing
away the gateposts.

The Jatest slap in the face

for each of us is illustrated

by the move of West Van-

‘couver Municipal Council to
‘literally

trample all over
whatever rights the four
homeowners in the Cypress
Creek area might,
thought they had..
Unfortunately, as the Law
stands right now, every per-

arbitrary .whim), of any
bureaucrat who thinks that
the ‘common good’ would

. be better served by depriving

you or-me of :our: property.
If we allow it, to, happen to
others without’ protest,
perhaps we should -not be
too! surprised “when it. hap-
pens to us, and sooner or
later it will, as sure,as night
follows day. :
