Era is under fire for linking Democrats with the PQ The purpose of a local newspaper is surely to inform people of local events report local news and comment on municipal and regional politics I have always been disturbed by your action in offering a slate of candidates just prior to town elections I am sure that many people simply follow your advice without informing themselves personally of the candidates merits However since you have a more intimate knowledge than the average resident of municipal politics perhaps you have some right to bias local elec tions with your opinions This does not apply to provincial politics In last weeks May Era your editorial Ontario election is necessary was both audacious and preten tious You do not have the right to try to influence the electorate about a matter which is beyond your You mandate as a suburban newspaper applies to local and regional news Surely you do not pretend to be experts in provincial matters also The editorial was an example of journalism at its worst What on earth has Rene got to do with the Ontario election tactics designed to frighten people Into returning a majority Conservative government The three major parties are united on one issue and that is their desire to see Quebec remain a part of Canada A minority government would handle the threat of separatism in exactly the same way as to majority government issue cuts right across party lines You state in the editorial that a majority government that is strong enough to stand up to Mr threat to separate What exactly do you think a majority government would do send in the troops Your ultimatum about the Liberals they have no hope of forming a government is both premature and presumptuous Let the electorate make that decision for themselves You save your cheapest shot however for the To make the statement that the New Democrats have socialist leanings similar to the Parti is not only irresponsible journalism it is underhanded dirty and unworthy of reasonable people It is an attempt to smear the NOP with the taint of separatism Socialism my unlearned editor has nothing whatever to do with separatism Youll be trying to create a red under the bed scene next Your whole editorial is lacking in logic and reason It offers no facts do insight into the elec tion and no reasonable grounds for making any kind of sensible decision It is a biased and insane attempt to frighten people into voting for the conservatives I find it hard to believe that the editors of The Era would stoop so low They surely have more pride than that in their profession I prefer to think that the editorial by the owners The Inland Publishing Co who I would assume have a vested interest in returning a conservative government If you want to play an informative role in the coming election and that is your job I suggest that you would be better employed in reporting the issues on which the election is being fought You would serve your readers better by giving them a basis on which to make an intelligent choice Newmarket Humbug Sid says of the campaign Guaranteed Investment Certificates Annual interest 1 Semiannual interest Member Canada Deposit Insurance

whom come in two varieties plain rotten or ab- soluteply putrid Of course they sometimes look like bishops even angels and sound like vestal virgins leader Stephen Lewis for instance looks a bit like Byron on his way to the forum One could imagine that he long ago swallowed a very large dictionary and is still busy dealing with the indigestible mass regurgitating all the holy words in streams of semireligious rhetoric commonly known as bull All in the manner of a professor of phonetics His approach to unemployment and other motherhood issues is that of the outraged saint Flapping his wings over dust pollution at a brand new asbestos mine at these past months he pressured the minority Davis government into closing it down The resultant multimillion dollar in stallation of extra purification equipment put the mine into receivership And 250 miners out of work They are now unable either to pay for or sell their new homes in this one industry town The investors Oh to hell with them Yes Stephen Lewis is very gravely concerned about unemployment And pollution So con- cerned that he has kept a safe distance from the enraged and desperate miners of Somehow now he doesnt seem to have the answer to their problems He is too busy politicking around here about it About what About the terrible sin of unem ployment Employment is an everchanging numbers game When people are busy breeding I doubt they even stop for a Coke never mind pausing to consider whether squalling fruits of their frolics may have a place or value in future labor markets Add to this the facts that present taxation levels more numbers deeply discourage capital investment and its resultant jobs in Canada And that the present attitude is to work as little as possible for as much as possible This makes the work go further So a lot of jobs have gone as far as Taiwan Hong Kong Korea and elsewhere Lewis who wears the air of being the original discoverer of unem ployment would no doubt advocate state planning Under that once mighty Britain is losing more money more jobs has more discontented over paid people has perhaps fallen further and faster than any great power in history Statements by Lewis and his echoing lieutenants come out like thalidomide babies distorted with parts missing yet he is in telligent enough lo know that he is playing to the gallery of the hopeful and the hopeless-
