Councils know betier
when it comes to pubs

Dear Editor:

Upon reading the one-
sided article in) Sunday,
August 2, edition written by
Timothy Renshaw, also the
vicious editorial on page 6,
both pertaining to public
house applications, for the
first time in my life IT am
angered cnough to write a let-
ter to a newspaper.

Both newspaper articles
criticized and ridiculed deci-
sions made by North
Vancouver City and West

have far more
data and facts available to
them on which to base
informed, balanced decisions.

This is their responsibility
and which is why they were
elected. Decisions should be
made to benefit the majority
of the citizens in each munici-
pality.

Any one can criticize (and
they usually do!), but people
belittle them s when chevy
ridicule the efforts of honest,

North Sbore citizens who
spend many thankless hours
working en our councils.

The council members
should be commended for a
job well done over several
years, and given our support
and input, ner negative criti-
cism.

Dear Editor:

To must sav Prooa inthe: per
turbed with the remarks made
by a supposed “racist expert”
in Doug Collins cotumn in ie
Sunday) August 7 North
Shore News.

She went on to state with
regree that many Canadians are
calling for a return to old val-
ues and the more traditional
forms of behavior associated
with a society based on Anglo
Saxon values, norms ind
ideals.

My goodness, am EF sup-
posed to feel ashamed about

my roots? What ant I to tell my
‘ dren now about their

’ Should [ lie maybe?
Tell them chat they ctu-
ally barn on a make- shift boat
out in the Georgia Stzait?

Or maybe ! should tel!

itage and culture but, just to
be on the sate side, keep quiet

Where is this woman's
brain? She is the one who
shows no tolerance and, dare I
say, racism.
