The only acceptable smoking bylaw for Waterloo Region is an incremental smoking ban in ALL places of business, leading to a 100 per cent smokingâ€"free environment by the year 2000. The bylaw under consideration does not go that <â€" far and in my opinion, is sacrificing health for the sake of business. I also feel that it should not be up to the indiâ€" { lish, monitor and manage their own set of smokâ€" ing bylaws. A regional wide bylaw, especially one towards a 100 per cent ban in all places of busiâ€" â€"ness by the year 2000, would be the exsiest to implement and manage. This would make all ‘â€"_ :1 do not feel that it should be up to each place : of business to determine what its own smoking <â€" guidelines should be because we should not trust " the market to dictate health interests when that The proposed smoking bylaw for the municiâ€" palities of Waterloo Region is under review by the Health and Social Services Commitiee of Waterloo Region. As it stands, this committee seems to be bending over backwards trying to accommodate business owners who express unfounded fears of loss of income, rather than address the health issues for the population at The Tories claim that the tax cut is intended to be an economic stimulus. But, while it is the Iwydanaudduiruflapnfienapu 725,000 jobs, even Finance Minister Emie Eves now predicts that only 289,000 jobs will be creâ€" ated. Clearly, the Common Sense Revolutionâ€" aries are starting to believe less and less in the economic spinolls of the tax cut. There are two glitches in the tax cut equals jobs equation. The first is that the majority of the tax dollars saved will go into the pockets of the top 10 per cent of income earners (accordâ€" ing to the Tories own figures). All of the availâ€" able evidence suggests that the most wealthy members of our society are less likely to spend their money in Ontario (or to spend it at all) than those at the bottom end of the income scale. To the extent that their good fortunes will "trickle down* to others, very little of it will h In tmunss" ihz move. Mike Harris and Emic Eves hnhn"ad‘hlhcyndd cut the provincial income tax rate by 30 per cent over three years. Now that they‘ve decided to folâ€" low through on that commitment (albeit with a slower phaseâ€"in), they are wallowing in accolades LETTER S Tax cuts add to deficit There is not one good thing to be said for smoking, It is the single most harmful thing you can do to yourself and others. Nonâ€"smokers must make their needs known by way of boyâ€" ing letters to council pÂ¥fSons, mayors and newsâ€" time. Those smokers represent only 20â€"25 per cent of our regional population and they have 1 have no freedom to pursue leisure activities when those places 1 may choose to go to are allowed to be smokeâ€"filled and hazardous to not only my health but the health of my family and : for accuracy Letters should not 4 ) " 3 00 AYEsOY AdUOLUILIC WOLUIICS letters :o the editor.

This is a government which claims that it has *no choice" but to make cuts to programs that have helped millions of Ontarians; which talks about the unsustainability of spending $1 milâ€" lion an hour more than it takes in; which says that not dealing with the deficit would do irreparable harm future generations of taxâ€" payers. The decision to follow through on the tax cut proves that massive Tory cutbacks have nothing to do with reducing the deficit. These harsh spending decisions are really just a question of During the election campaign, when the Tories polled Ontarians uhudnywddmhi tax cut, the questions men tion any of the new costs that would come with it.
