We should reaily 'dump' on bis ego, for bis government, directing the finoncial centre of Canada, levios more taxes, raisos them more often, has the largest provincial debt of any province, and ignores the taxpayer's wishSe ven more thon the feds. ,But what are wo to do? Who will lead us out of the moramé? Who wiil teil us the truth and force us to accept the*bardsbips that we must face to get us bock on track? Who wiil put education back on track? Who wiil get us out of government car insurance? Who wil oct for the people who pay the taxes? The NDP and Comrade Rae would have us ail working for the governient and paying ta, do it.

Locaily, one exampie might involve the Prince Edward Island ferry boat ln Whitby harbor. Jim Flaherty, Progressive Conservative candidate for Durham Centre, has made Issue of the PCB-contamina- ted oit contained ln transforrar on the boat. Mr. Flaherty says the PCBa are potentialy clangerous and that i's the province's job to remove them afeiy, thus pointing the proverbial linger at Durham Centre rilng Liberal lncurr*ent Allan Furlong. Mr. Flaherty la rlght. The PCBa pose grave danger, particularly should theme be. a ire on the ferry boat. But ail fingera point to the federal Conservative govemment playing Russian roulette wth the people of Whltby. Mr. Flaherty, ln the mldst of a provincial elecion campaign, la polnting fingers at the wrong people. Mr. Furlong says he's done as much as he can and that i's the responsbillty of the feda. <lime town has laid trespassing chargea against the vessel'a owner, and the case wlI be ln court this Noverrier). Meanwhile the vessel stili sits, and sits, and site, ln Whltby harbor. Even the WVhfby fire chief has declared, the vessel an unsafe area. Should a tire acvur. iflla questionable, under such conditions, who woukl put Rt out. Mr. Furlong has been ciearly told thla la an Issue to be deait with at the federai levei. The town, the MInIstry of the Environment, and almoat everyone else sees thla as a federal responslbiiity. Perhaps Mr. Flaherty shouid look no fuuiher than hie own party, at the federailovel, to find accuntabillty wfth regard to the PCB situation ln Whitby harbor. Phone No.. No reason for election, To the oditor. 2nd CkuasPosti RogistratiqnbO5351
