A Real Choice _-Athortaod by Doug WEST VANCOUVER DISTRICT COUNCIL by Maureen Curtis ments before the municipal elec- tion. Durman said that council’s ob- jectives concerning trails, creek preservation, tree-cutting, and. greenbeit should be written into the bylaw amendment so that open space dedication would be automatic when subdivisions are developed. . The planning commission and the parks and recreation advisory commission have proposed changes to strengthen and defize ‘segments of the bylaw amend- ments, but they have yet to be incorporated in the proposed bylaw amendments. Council consequently decided to keep the hearing open for further public input until it. could return for council gonsideration’ on Oct. 3. In response to a question from Coun. Andy.. Danyliu, district planning director Steve Nicholls said that a delay of a few weeks would not have any effect on current development above the Upper Levels. “We are acting on these princi- ples now,’ he said.

INFORMATION "CON SULTATION It's no surprise that Reform has become the target of hot and heavy attacks over the past ten days. The attacks will probably intensify in the remaining days until the vote. NEGATIVE ADVERTISING - Reform's position throughout this campaign has been that the election will not be won by negative radio, television or newspaper advertising. It is very clear to us that you want substance and direc- tion to be built in to the policies of the party you choose on October 25th. That's why we have channeled the greatest share of our resources into arti- cles like this one, and door to door litera- ture and videorape drops using hundreds of volunteers. We have concentrated on supplying detailed information instead of "one liners". We have made ourselves available to answer your questions, and we have not dodged the issues. SCARE TACTICS Our strategy has been very effec- tive in ensuring that the truth about our policies is wideiy understoud, but just to be sure, | will cover a couple of the high profile items currently subject to scare tactics. According to the NDP, Reform is going to introduce GST on food. Where they got this nonsense from is anybody's guess but ic did not come from Reform. Puzzled by the claim, I asked the loca! NDP candidate what made him think DESPERATE MEASURES Authorized by Vie Bermington, Offa een for ‘Ted White Ted White Candidate 1336 Main St. North Vancouver Telephone:.- 980-5300 - that Reform would add GST to food. He teplied that he did not know where the information came from. Well, all f can say is please don’t go to che NDP for Reform palicy, they have it all wrong. MEDICARE According to all of the other par- ties Reform is yoing to slash and burn medicare. They claim this despite Refonn's written statement in both the "Zero In Three" plan and our election platform “Blue Sheet” that this is not the case. We have made it very clear that all funding transfers in support of medicare will be maintained at their present levels, and that no Canadian with be denied access to medical care because of an inability to pay. What more can we do than this ? On a related topic, emotional claims by some parties thac they will never perini¢ user fees are either deliber- ate lies or genuine ignorance. There is already extra billing in BC. Hundreds of doctors have “opted out" of the BC Medical Service Plan and are charging extra fees. These extra billings are a sig- nal chat the MSP itself is sick and in need of attention. GET THE FACTS The only place to vet the eruth about Reform policy is from the Reform Parry.
