Unite for a big,

Dear Editor:

The Confederation of
Regions Western Party can, if
enough of our Candidates are
elected from the four
Western Provinces, become a
political block to establish
Western Power. We in the
West, can have for the first
time in our history, a big
Voice in what happens if we
elect enough C.O.R. Western
Party Candidates to hold the
balance of power.

We must learn a lesson
from Quebec and quit split-
ting our votes amongst three
parties, all of whom are con-
trolled in Ontario. JI know
Quebec has two things in
common which makes them a
cohesive group, their

Dear Editor:

The news reports of a Viet-
nam war veteran in the States
killing 22 people and woun-
ding 20 more in a restaurant;
then the Indian Ambassador
to Canada being mobbed in
Winnipeg while police stood
by, is very disturbing.

In regard to the first item I
think youth is brutalized to
the point of committing
murder, organized as war.
Then we have repercussions
of this brain-washing and
wonder where the terrorists
come from. I believe men
should be the protectors of

Dear Editor:

Just a short note to thank
you for including our story,
**More than just aches and
pains’’ in a recent issue. |
wish you could have been in
our office as the phone rang,
and rang, and went on ring-
ing — all requests for further
informavion about arthritis!

‘“Ahal’’ you may think
“We have lots of elderly
residents on the North
Shore!’’ But the fact is, ar-

thritis is no respecter of age.

language and their religion.

We- in the West must
establish our own reason for
unity and in my opinion it
must be the fact that we are
Westerners. I am sure we are
all very proud of our western
heritage, and western
roots, that we are sons and
daughters of pioneers who
came from 100 Nations of the
World, with different ethnic
backgrounds, different
languages, different religions
and very proud to have
established a western way of
life and language which is
now common to us all.

We have come from multi-
culturalism, and a society in
conflict, into a western
society different in many

fight for the survival of their
young. Are we less than rats?
Our youth must not be
brutalized, they are Canada’s
future generation and need a
ray of hope in their lives.
We must demand a stop to
the testing of the cruise
missile in Canada. It is a
weapon with ‘‘first-use
capability’’ and is a serious
escalation of the arms race,
being almost impossible to
detect. If it is used (God for-
bid) it definitely is not an
‘umbrella for security’. It

There’s no cure for ar-

ways from Ontario, Quebec
and the Atlantic Provinces.
We must now become
westerners and we must vote
for the West.

There is only one party,
The Confederation of
Regions Western Party,
which has Western directors,
Western policies, Western
loyalties. It is the only party
which will never become
dominated by Ontario or
Quebec, and we can have
politically the best of both
worlds.

If the Conservatives win
we will not be taking
anything away from the Con-
servatives as long as they
treat us fairly because we will
support them. If the Liberals

win and they treat us fairly
we can also support them.
The guidelines of course will
be ‘‘Is it good for the West?”’
If we have the balance of
ower we can support or
defeat either one of the par-
ties, which will establish
western political power and
the best of both worlds.
* Let us then join, work for,
and finance the first and only
western party ever assembl-
ed in the West. The people
from Manitoba, Saskat-
chewan, Alberta and B.C.
are now joining and can-
didates are being nominated.
What about you? Don’t you
believe it’s our turn?
