Tory generosity to Trudeau

Dear Editor

] wonder how those of us
who are retired on fixed in-
comes feel about the
generosity of Mr Mulroney
in providing a Government
yet for the private use of a
retired ex Prime Minister and
his children to. travel to
Washington, BC . a journey
that could well be taken on

Don't crit

Dear Editor

Re your comments Oct 14
about the highrise fire in
June

1 am fortunately privileged
to be a tenant in this
building for eleven and a
half vears. | do not agree
with your remarks concern-
ing this incident.

Personally, |
others feel that
ticular manager should not
be criticized Then. as
always, with the tenants’
welfare in mind, his action
was to be helpful and
possibly avert a talse alarm,

and many

which vou tave stated were

any one of several commer-
cial air tines

Gestures such as this are
easy tO Make when the act of

generosity costs the giver
nothing If our Prime
Minister wants to appear

mMagnaminous fo the ex
leader of a defeated political
party, 1t would be more fit-
ting for him to reach into his

icize the

all too frequent
nion, this
alarm system

In my opi
expensive fire
falls short of

being as adequate as your ar- .

ticle claims. The property
manager was required to in-
stall this svstem regardless of
his opinion

Whilst) the saving that
would result trom the
cancellation of this trip

would appear to be only “‘a

the less symptomatic of a
state of mind that Govern-

the plunder to be shared
