Dear Editor:

I am writing you this let- ter as I want the public to know about the Jack of jus- tice in Canada.

- My father, Bjorn -Bjornson, was killed by a dump truck in West ‘Vancouver last year on - September 27, 1996, that was overloaded and had lit- tle or no working brakes at “the time of the accident.

T use the word “acci- the, driver “of the truck was supposed to

be trained to drive and maintain the truck in a safe ‘manner, and since the driver did not, I personally believe this to be more of an act of ‘murder.

’ Since I-did not rely on my father for financial sup- ‘port, [ have. no legal recourse to make the driver held accountable for his

crime, and now that the Crown has decided that they will not press charges, it appears that the driver will get away.

The Jase time I checked, au was illegal to kill someone in Canada, even if it was an accident.

Apparently, we have a legal system that protects the guilty and not the inno- cent. What good are laws if they cannot or will not de enforced?

Te was explained to me thar the reasons the Crown was not pursuing the case was — one, it did not appear to be in the public’s best interest.

Two, the Crown «sas not confident in strength of the evidence for a guilty verdict.

IT cannot believe that the people of the North Shore and Canada are willing to

laws ESS

accept the rash of deadly dump trucks on our roads, or that the Crown can not find a huge dump truck with no brakes and enough dirt to fill nwo trucks is eneugh evidence to convict the dri- ver with anything.

I can only hope that the driver’s God will try and convict him.

The police forces in British Columbia do such a wonderful job of enforcing the laws only to be back- stabbed by the inept and lazy court system.

I wonder if the truck had come down the hill five minutes later and had killed several of the students from the nearby school — would they have pressed charges?

T am just thankful that J never will know.

Practise racial harmony

Dear Editor: _ .While searching for parking at the Park Royal Mall, I had a very disturbing encounter. 1 feel it is important for me to bring this to the attention of the community, especially for future gencrations if we are to live in harmo- ny. 1. Who got there first is a debatable question. I may have or she may have. I had already given “way. once before. I was in no hurry. I would have given way again, to the other car, into the parking spot. . ; . ..

I am absolutely appalled by such disgusting, racist comments. What made the “dear” lady think J was not Canadian?

The color of my skin —- brown --- or maybe she was just under this very, very, backward illusion that a Canadian is white?

Whatever the reascu, please let us refrain from making rude comments, especially with children around.

If we want to teach racial harmony, let us practise it first.

Dear Editor:

Re: Georg Erstenuk’s News Youth

Dear Georg and other young people with che «ame views:

Whar really happens when you die?

We have read your column in the North Shore News with great interest. We agree with vou that no one really knows what heaven and hell will be like, but these will be vour only two options.

It is obvious from the phrases you used in your column that you are searching for answers.

«Truth is, the answer is not determined by the influence of previous generations, your present environment, or even future events. ft

is also not a case of “good” or “bad”. After all, how good is good enough?

It is actually an individual choice, your choice, that you have to make today: Christ alone — not Christ plus our performance. God. in His grace sent His Son Jesus Christ to die for our sins on the cross, and this grace alone is our salvation.

Never be tempted to find out what is on the other side.

You can have that certainty on this side. We pray chat you will find thar certainty today. Alida le Roux Frances Potgieter Louisa Kunzmann aleroux@mail.synesis.net
