DEAR NEW Premier: You are now in charee of a SS.

@ strictly personal @

pillion enterprise called British Columbia.

I just thought vowd Like to
know what's goine on and what
to do.

Little British) Columbia = —
just a drop in the bucket of five
billion human beings — barely
has a toehold on North
America. Major industries face
bleak futures. Our fate is in the
hands of othezs.

Of course, when the sun
shines it reveals a paradise. Yet
it is one blighted by painful
levels of unemployment. This
doesn’t have to be the case.

Listen closely, now. If we
could become famous, we could
become rich. That’s how it goes
nowadays.

As a trading enterprise, we
are not badly located, and Expo
has helped, but we need a
quantum jump in profile. With
that, everything else would take
off ton.

Yours is a government which
has shown a certain fondness
for gimmicks in the past —
BCRIC comes to mind.

Here’s the scoop: 7 still thank
we should declan war on New
Zealand.

You understand the reason.
ing behind that, don’t you? It
would do wonders for our
beleaguered shipbuilding — in-
dustry.

Canada once built the third-
largest’ fleet of ships in the
world. B.C. already has a ferry
fleet larger than the Canadian
Navy. All we need is the stimu-
Jus of sending a task force
down to New Zealand.

We could employ all the un-
employed kids, boys and girls
alike, and send them off on this
massive armada all the way
ACROSS instead of going
straight.

We'd generate enormous
publicity in the Pacific Rim
countries, to say nothing of
Europe tnd the U.S.A., and
publicity ‘s what we're always
