A Senate appointed by the provinces and a Supreme Court appointed by the provinces have the potential to stifle the national vision essential to a healthy federal state. An amending formula which requires unanimous consent will choke off all meaningful constitutional reform for decades. Public hearing on the Meech Lake Accord, as suggested by Andrew Telegdi, will not be enough. The Accord is so fundamentally flawed that it must be returned to the drawing board.

Rather, they rep- resent a naked grab for power by provincial interests. Further, these provi- sions have nothing to do with satisfying the concerns of French-speaking Cana. dians, as Brian Mulroney would have us believe. No one should quarrel with Quebec's deep concern for protecting a cherished French heritage. Nonetheless, Senate reform and similar proposals are completely unnecessary tools for this pur- Pierre Trudeau is right to lament the lack of a strong national voice in these constitutional negotiations, which is so necessary to the dynamic tension of a federal state. o If you are travelling with someone try to keep up a conversation.

Ken Norris Kitetteoer Should the postal workers be classified as an essential service and not allowed to strike? Unfortunately, Pierre Trudeau is in Inrgemeasure responsible for the current morass in this area. Repatriating the Constitution without Quebec's consent, Trudeau opened a Pandora's Box from which all manner of dire consequences may spring. He ignored the time-tested directive: "if it sn't br 1, don't fix it."
