A7 - Sunday News, September 6, 1981 BS mailbox Hayden a ‘knee jerk’ liberal Dear Editor: Hayden Stewart seems open minded, fair and balanced when discussing personal, one-on-one problems but can get quite hysterical and unbalanced when discussing a larger question involving society at large. government or politics. In your Sunday News August 16, an enquirer asked him what .he thought of large scale immigration of races- who generally chose not to integrate, to the point they may be in the majority. A fair question to ask in a free country where the government has a multicultural policy and where the public is not allowed to vote upon or express their view. Hayden Stewart is ob- viously a knee jerk love the world liberal who knows best and insults the questioner. His insults: —"If you believe that clap trap” —"“Is there any possibility that your nose is so high in the air that... ~ —“Can you back off for a moment and ask yourself a question or two" —"“Perhaps your family is too small” —"Perhaps you feel God's children are only pink” —“No wonder you're scared” —"“Why human race" —"I am snarly... because I'm aprehensive about narrow minded bigots” Quite a few uncalled-for insults from one “liberal, fair thinking” Canadian to an innocent enquirer! Question Why Canadians denigrate own kind while imagined not yon the do their they extol virtues of exotic foreign peoples” Hayden Stewart should remember that Canadians have been the most generous (some call it stupid!) nation in the world to other races. But Hayden will not allow a questioning of where such an open handed giveaway might end. Our housing shortage, our unemployment, our huge government deficit, could be blamed to a large extent on immigration promoted at such a fast pace that we cannot cope. Without having a vote we are bequeathing a new environment [to our children, an environment which has never proved workable anywhere in the world in all history. But people like Hayden Stewart feel if they exhort and insult everyone enough to be full of “love” and “God's Children” that then = our ensuing expermence will be unique and = marvellous Begging the question Dear Editor: Ken Bruce's statement in the Lions Gate Hospital Report (News, Aug. 30) that “if abortions are to be performed. as set out in the law. they should be carried out im a hospital setting” beys the central question of the aboruon controversy, which ts should most of aborhons be carned wt at all? It has been amply documented in the past that a large percentage of these threo abortions have been per- formed for social and economic reasons’ rather than for clear and present medical need The law in Canada does | | { l not demanu the = annual destruction of 700 young lives at LOCH. s.r does it leave the mattec. «s Bruce appears to bebeve ip to the “woman. decisign to Rave an abation” Tf‘: present hoard and staff of the hospital oar: lunwaat lo rescue the voung lives of those who are carried itn utero into the hospital to be destroyed. then obviously others in the community must speak up on behalt! of these hapless infants The weitare of che community aud the law of the land would best be served by phystians who SAPPHIRES...

Hayden Stewart uses illogic in his diatribe. 1.e. “What illogic prompts tke enquirer to think this 1s “our part of the world.” There is no illogic. Canada is a sovereign state. We have the right to admit or exclude anyone we choose. It 1s Hayden who is illogical in thinking ‘others have the “right.” Foreigners, in fact. have no “right” we extend to them. if we wish. a privilege. Icis my belief the majority of citizens in Canada would stop immigration nght now, dead. if given a_ free referendum. The privilege to vote or even to question and discuss the subject is one that the professional “democratic” liberal in- telligentsia will not extend to the citizen voters as they. the liberal intelthgentsia, what is best for us. word «--the latest paving 3 times stronger than the average concrete driveway PLEASE CALL US FOR A FREE INSTALLATION ESTIMATE WITH NO OBLIGATION OR DO-IT-YOURSELF SANDERSON CONCRETE know St v to th questioner exhibits the PRODUCTS LTD. l d j d “debate anything as lone, as 3 1 G HARBOUR AVE. - art oof tye liberal ronpel par footie wera N.
