C12 - Wednesday, April 20, 1983 - North Shore News Be true to yourself QUESTION: At the time of the recent Royal Tour, Prime Minister Trudeau spoke to and discussed with the students in a local high school. One student queried him about what he planned to do to gain more friendship and support in the west. This is not a quote of his response, but, in effect, he said he was not going to do anything special to win western friends. Then he offered a bit of his philosophy, pointing out that he felt a person has to do what he knows is right for himself, and, in doing that he might win or lose friends. He admitted that if, in the process, friends are gained, that is great, but if they are not gained, then “to hell with them.” That comment of his has caused a lot of dis- cussion.What do you think?

If he goes against what he’s sold on, then he’s dying, whether anyone else in the world knows it or not. “To hell with them” does not mean, to me, that the one who utters those words is wishfully condemning to death those who do not agree with him. It means. rather, “They've made their choice.
