6 - The Canadian Champion, Tuesday, August 24, 2004 *Commenut PI news in terminal fight Halton MP Gary Carr\s plan to start a petition opposing CN's intermodal terminal ks an example of' an elected represent itive serving bis community well. As reported elsewhere in tbis ncwspaper, Mr. Cari is spear- beading a drive against the controversial internmodal termninal pro- posed for south Milton. Starting next month, Mr. Carr's office will mail out petitions, whicb he plans to personally deliver to Parliament Hill. We tbink it's safe to say the majority of Miltonians are against tbis proposai, so any politician truly representing bis constituents would also take this stand. And we're pleased to see Mr. Carr is standing behind the view on the terminal he expressedi during bis campaign. Witb the backing of Mr. Carr, Milton may just he able to thwart this intrusive development, wbich contravenes the Official Plan, stands 10 muin the area as we know it and clearly bas no place in south Milton. *Our Readers Write August 6 cartoon with Statue of Liberty dressed up in protective gear flot amusing Dear Editor: 1 was somewhal miffed by the editori- a] cartoon in the Augusi 6 Champion showing the Statue of Liherty dressed up in armour and holding an auîornaîic weapon.
