New world means new problems

Dear Sir:

Canadians have worked
too long and hard to build up
Canada to let George Bush
and Brian Mulroney ruin the
country for the sake of their
fantasy called the New
World Order.

Already statistics are
revealing the grim reality of
our times. Out of 75,000

bankruptcies in 1991, 62,000
were consumer bankruptcies.
This begs the question: how
do you operate a consumer
society if you’ve free traded
Canadian jobs to Mexico and
abroad?

It may be cheaper to pro-
duce goods in the exploited
Third World but who in
Canada is going to buy

them?

Other figures indicate that
the ones being hardest hit by
the recession are people with
a high school education or
less. Fewer peopie with a
post-secondary education are
out of work,

But as the industrial state
crumbles in. the recession,
yuppies and bureaucrats are

Show your pride with
end to discrimination

Dear Sir:

Hello there! Not very long
ago I wrote a letter about at-
titudes toward different peo-
ple and the consequences of
those actions,

Racism is a very ugly word
and it touches the hearts of
all of us.

Racial discrimination has
killed and injured thousands
of people and it’s gotten so
out of hand the United Na-
tions has declared March 21
International Day for the
Elimination of Racial

Discrimination!
On March 21, 1960,
peaceful demonstrators

against apartheid were
wounded and killed (also
known as the Sharpeville
Massacre).

Fe CORRECTION

In this week's Kmart flyer the follow-
lng errors have occurred:

Due to unforeseen circumstances
the ‘Lisa J’ Cosmatics featured on
Page 1 will not be available for this
event,

The Ladies’ Work Oxfords featured
on Page 8 ara not Canadian made as
appears on the illustration.

We apologize for any Inconve
nlence this may have caused.

I have yet to see Terrace
take part in Canada’s cam-

. paign against racism, This

program has been taking
place since 1989, Especially
today with so much uncer-
tainty in Canada’s unity with
the aboriginals needing to be
a distinct society. and the
Quebecers needing to be
distinct and everybody else
wondering where exactly it is

’ they belong.

It's easy to see why 50
many people would turn to
racism as the answer, If you
hate racism speak out against
it. Believe in yourself — you
are an. original, Did you

know 94 per cent of Cana-—

dian job agencies are asked

by clients, to reject workers

because of their colour.
Black people are turned

when looking for an apart-
ment.

You are probably wonder-.
ing what you can do to start
eliminating racism and racial
discrimination,

First of all, get involved —
write an article, prepare a
class project, organize a film
night, write to your elected
representatives,

You see it all starts with
you. So come on Terrace get
a leg up.

You always hear on the
tadio and TV — Come on
Terrace show your pride.
How can we be proud if there

_ is still racism in our com-

munity.
Let’s get involved and do
something about racism.

next on the list, Good luck!
In the cycles of recessions
and boom periods there has
never been such a social pat-
tern of violence before. Even
Bonny and Clyde have
nothing on today’s youth. .
Already there has been an
increase in suicides and crime
as a result of the recession.

. Given the statistics of crime
_and violence before the reces-

sion it boggles the mind when

- one contemplates what it will

’ pe like in a few years when
hurting people really start
‘ going Bonny and Clyde,

_ I really don't think the
ivory tower economists with

- their $60,000 a year incomes

have any idea what’s about

-to come down, If Robocop

was supposed to be futuristic
then the future is now.

I’m often accused of being
partial to James 5 in the Bi-
ble: ‘'Go to now, ye rich
men, weep and howl for your
miseries that shall come upon
you. You have heaped

treasures together for ihe last
days. Your riches are cor-
rupted, and your garments
are motheaten. Your gold
and silver is cankered; and
the rust of these shall be a
witness against you, and
shall eat your flesh as it were
(nuclear) fire. Behold the
hire of the labourers, who
have reaped down your

fields, whom you have ex-

ploited by fraud — their cries
have entered into the ears of
the Lord. you have lived in
pleasure on the earth and
have been wanton; you have
nourished your hearts as in
the day of slaughter. You
have condemned and killed
the just...”

Greed and gullibility have
insured that this recession is
going to be a long period of
fasting and attrition before
people wake up and smell the
rotting economic cadaver.
