p 6 weekender april 1 1995 t st letters reader believes poll taken at arena is fair comment dear editor it is done in the banana republics it was done by the likes of joey smallwood and maurice duplessis until their communities refused to be manipulated but all of these could take a lesson in gerrymandering throwing an election an election from joan ransberry and the tri bune editor i refer to the headlines in the march 22 tribune which stated pool wins trib poll and the lead to the editorial on page four that the ballots were in and the pool wins 3 to 1- some very simple facts and principles cannot be whitewashed not matter how much rationalization and justification the tribune applies to its stories and actions first the tribune asked people to drop offor fax their ballots into your office and declared the results would be taken to council there was no qualifications that would disallow people from putting their ballots in a box at the arena to be transported to the tribune office in fact a great many people did do just that and because of it their votes are not to be counted speaking for just myself i am outraged simply put i have strong feelings about the issue i would have taken my ballot to your office in bare feet ifyou had told me convenience was to be held against my vote you had offered to have people fax their ballots in so you certainly did not think convenience was a negative factor before you knew the results of the poll i am outraged that you have the nerve to tell me that you are a neu tral agency but that my opinion does not count because it was transported to you by committed individuals in the company of 487 other ballots the fact is you did not like the ener getic participation that showed so overwhelmingly a win for the ice pad i am outraged that you would disqualify 488 opinions 70 per cent suzuki sell off 1995 suzuki sidekick ja 2 door soft top alarm system 3 yr or 80 km warranty 3 yr road assistance 5 speed a m i aaa was 14495

of all respondents from members of this community by saying that their opinions are so weak and fleeting that they would change with the weather mark my words my opinions contrary to yours will be the same in july as they are now yes some children cast ballots because they want an ice pad and did not realize their participation in this supposedly democratic exercise would taint all the rest the vast majority of the people i saw casting their ballots were adult taxpayers incidentally you said in your editorial on page four march 22 that there were almost no children who responded in the ballots dropped off individually at your office if they were for the pool did you disqualify them of those responding without disquali fications 2 to 1 favor an ice pad be built of the total 70 per cent want an ice pad or both in future you should not invite people to participate in any polls if you are going to be arbitrarily and subjective ly disqualify so many that make the effort please
