MB Aes . SS mailbox as ‘Restraint’ it ain't! Dear Editor: There is indeed a _ fun- damental differe in philosophy (see Sund ews editorial, Sept. 25)2) Most people just find it to dif- ficult, despite the in- washing, to accept blood- letting as an effective way to cure the present economic disease. In any case, the restraint program has nothing to do with restraint. Unless, of course, someone could enlighten us as to what Bill 9 — which will deny the regions the right to plan, preserving our environment and farmland — has to do with restraint. Nothing, I suggest, except to pave the way for big developers and speculators, government friends in the main, whose at- ‘Underhand Dear Editor: The Planning Dept. of the North Vancouver District has produced a very elaborate brochure (cost $5) to pro- mote their plan for the future of the Marine Drive Cor- ridor. Included are many comments from residents and business about the pros and cons of the plan. However, nowhere does it include the fact that immediately after the open house that was held at the Avalon Hotel in February, 21 of the 22 home- owners on Pemberton Ridge titude is ‘‘apres moi le deluge.’’ Or Bill 3, which threatens municipal officials with heavy fines for making deci- sions they were elected to make by democratic elec- tions, even though they have shown far more business sense and have a far better restraint record than the government in Victoria. The way I see it, this so called restraint program, conceived by the Fraser In- stitute et al, is geared to dis- mantle our standard of liv- ing, reduce B.C. to third world status and teach British Columbians a lesson in the process. What is interesting is that those who drew up this game plan and now threaten to in- vest the profits, which they made here, in third world countries (where labour is cheap) are the same ones who . expect the people of B.C. to buy the goods made through these investments abroad. That this is only possible as long as British Columbians have the necessary purchas- ing power never occurred to these ‘‘brains’’. The prospect of making superprofits (which can only be on a tem- porary basis) has dimmed their wits. The question is how long will the people of B.C. put up with these economic ‘‘witch- doctors’’ and their disciples before they throw them on the scrap heap of history where they belong. Ernie Crist Alderman N. Van. Dist. expropriation’ sent a petition to the Mayor stating: ‘‘We are absolutely opposed to the proposal of the Planning Dept. to designate Pemberton Bank as a conservation area or to restrict the present zoning of the bank in any way.’’ Nor does it mention that a meeting was held with all residents and the mayor, four members of council and two members of the Planning Dept., and the plan vociferously opposed. Do the residents of the District realize that this plan would designate up to 75% of the lot size of our private property into a nebulous term ‘‘conservation area?’’ How would you like to have your back yard termed un- developed land, pay taxes for 30 years and then have some one in the planning dept. say they want to keep it as a ‘‘park like area?’’ We resent this underhanded way of expropriation without compensation.
