The Insurance Corporation of B.C.
recently announced a new program that will
severely penalize drivers who cause a lot of
accidents. Whereas there is now a limit to
the premiums one driver must pay, soon
there will be no limit. Drivers involved in
numerous accidents will have to pay much
more for car insurance.

Today’s question is:

‘Should accident-prone drivers

have to pay a greater share of
car insurance costs?’’

Terry Hearty
North Vancouver

Yes, I'd say definitely.
I drive thirty or forty
thousand miles each year
without accidents.

Sandra Enns
North Vancouver

If you're talking about
accident after accident,
I'd say yes. If some guy
goes out and gets drunk,
why should I have to pay

for that? In fact, 1] think
that after dnnking of-
fenses they should lose

their license

speech lambasting the
Liberal government for its
failure to act was followed
by a barrage of audience
questions.

They covered a range of
issues from western
separatism to the budget,
election = strategy, the
Conservative party
leadership and the rumors of
the setting up of internment
camps.

John Sherman of West
Vancouver pleaded _ for
urgent solutions for a
country which was going
down the drain: “Businesses
are rapidly going into
receivership; productive
people are calling it quits,
unless parliament takes
action now there won't be a

society to save,” he said.
“Don't allow them (the
federal Liberals) to do

anything else unless they
deal with the economy and
the interest rates first,” he
added.

“You mean you support a
parliamentary boycott?”
queried Huntington and the

previously quiet crowd
broke into enthusiastic
applause.

But Huntington = also
dished out some strong
medicine of his own to his
supporters.

“T can't march on Ottawa
alone,” he said. “It's up to

you to get your message
across loud and clear. Write
letters to the ministers; get
involved; talk on hotline
shows; write letters to the
editor. Opinion polis are
going on all the tme. You

scope on a pay-as-you-go
basis from annual operating
revenues.

If authorized, the $5.6
million loan to have been
raised through the provincial
Municipal Financing
Authority at a reported
interest rate of 14.5 per cent
would have been repayable
over a 10-year period.

Following the an-
nouncement of the
referendum late last month a
groundswell of opposition to
the proposed borrowing
became apparent in leaflets
distributed by unidentified
citizens, outdoor signs and
banners, and numerous
letters to The News.
Municipal spokesmen
charged that the leaflets
contained categoncal items
of misinformation.

politicians that you are angry
enough to march.”

Challenged to come up
with some. constructive
solutions, Huntington said
that if the
controlled investment
abroad it would be able to
cut loose from the U.S.
interest rates policy.

When — and not if — the
Tory government is_ re-
elected, he said, it would
have a takeover plan ready
for Day One: “For a start we
would clear out 300-350 top
senior government
bureaucrats. And in my
opinion, our priority bill
would be a totally new tax
act with the aim of getting
our young people back to
work.”

Many of the young people
present waited behind to
question their MP after the
10 p.m. close of the meeting.
Their mood was typified by
Tom Ballingall of North
Vancouver, attending his
first-ever political rally
because “the country is
hurting so much, there has
to be some answers
somewhere.”
