‘Don’t give Canada away’

Dear Editor:

Here we go again, Oct. 5, our
Bob Hunter bashing out the ques-
tion of Canada’s sovereignty and
why it is such a Holy Grail. It
deserves an answer, although no
doubt with no effect.

Sovereignty is defined as
supreme power or dominion,
possession, ownership of some-
thing of our own, of home and
family, of belonging to our land.
A true, warm and proud feeling
for our heritage and traditions, our
culture and history, old or new,
our own precious Holy Grail, free
for generations to come, hope-
fully, and masters in our own
household.

Save old

Dear Editor:

Regafding the demolition of
Hollyburn Manor in West Van-
couver,

I, too, feel sad at the very
thought of it. Anytime I happen to
pass by there I always think
“‘there’s a little bit of England.”’
After all, wasn’t it mostly the
English pioneers who first settled
here when West Van was just a
wilderness? That is how we got the
names Ambleside and Dundarave.

With the demolition of

People who have experienced
invasion of their country and
possession by foreign powers, lived
under it or been driven out, have
no problems as to knowing what
sovereignty means.

Numerous Canadians see free
trade as an invitation for gigantic
U.S.A. to please come and take us
over. Hunter says: ‘tA welcome
march into the direction of inter-
national cooperation.”’

We need not give Canada away
for that to happen. Nations are
gradually learning to cooperate in-
ternationally by cutting down on
wars and hate, by trading, visiting
back and forth, by talks and
friendship, like neighbors.

buildings

Hollyburn Manor there goes
another reminder of our early ar-
chitecture and a link with the past.

What do tourists go all the way
to Europe and elsewhere to sce?
Modern buildings with modern
plumbing? No way!

Progress should not be at the
expense of obliterating what few
remaining buildings of heritage
significance we have left.

When Hunter and scores of Ca-
nadians think so little of Canada
and our sovereignty, can anyone
blame big U.S.A. for jumping at
the opportunity to invade Canada
and take over, without firing a
shot. And we naive Canadians
would become glamorous second-
class Canuck Mericans.

The Americans are the greatest
nationalists, fiercely loving their
country and Old Glory they fought
for. And they would not give away
an inch of their Holy Grail or
sovereignty.
