communication with the people of
North Vancouver,”’ said White,
shortly after he was declared a
winner in North Vancouver.

While White said he ran a clean
campaign, he said the campaign
overall in North Vancouver was
“very, very dirty.”

White said he and the Reform
party took much criticism during
the campaign from other North
Vancouver candidates.

During the campaign, McMartin
had called for Manning to probe
White’s past association with the
now-defunct Western Canada
Concept party, a western
separatist party. White ran as the
party’s North Vancouver can-
didate in the 1983 provincial elec-
tion.

At White’s campaign office on
Monday, party supporters had
posted a picture of McMartin on a
hallway wall. Someone had.drawn
a moustache and beard on the
picture.

While most. North Vancouver
candidates were concentrating on
getting party supporters to the
polls on Monday, Liberal can-
didate Mobina Jaffer said the
highlight of the day for her was to
make sure her party supporters at
the different polling stations were
being fed.

She said that several of White’s
supporters had approached her at
the polling stations and con-
gratulated her on ‘‘taking the high
road’’ with her campaign.

As she watched the poll results
come in at the Coach House Inn,
Jaffer conceded defeat to White

NORTH VANCOUVER Tory candidate Will McMartin talks to a
reporter shortiy before the polls closed on Monday night. McMar-
tin said he still hopes Tory leader Kim Campbell will stay in ' poll-

tics.

and wished’ him well-in his new
job.

“I'm very pleased with the our
national. results, and of course, I
am disappointed with the loss.

“y ant sad about. the strong
showing! by the Reform party in
the west. Their success has: in-
troduced extremism in our coun-
try, a country that was known for
its tolerance,” said Jaffer.

McMartin said Canadians are
telling the Tories that they are not
happy with the job the govern-
ment has done during the past
eight years.

He also said that Prime Minister
Kim Campbell’s message to voters
that the election was about

; ntroducing

Canada’s future was’ not articu-
lated or received well. © :

As McMartin ‘watched . the
returns come in, he had some ad-
vice for White.

“| hope the candidate selected is
able to live up to the expectations
North Vancouver residents haye
because they expect a good repre-|
sentative, somebody whether in -
Opposition’ or government ' who
does a good job’ of speaking for

.the people of North Vancouver,”
. said McMartin. i

Meanwhile, White ruled out any
chance of :the Reform and." the
Bloc Quebecois forming a coali-

‘tion Opposition Party. «
