Editor: It is so enlightening to read perceptive opinions contained in both The Times’ editorials and some of the letters. This was particularly true last Tuesday (Sept. 20). The ‘We Say’ piece expressed the dilemma that faces Parliament, and especially the NDP, as they determine the number of seats to which Quebec and other provinces are entitled.
That party is threatened by a guillotine, as it grapples with the demands of its disproportionate number of Quebec members. It seems that it is in trouble of losing its head, no matter which way it goes.
Joining this thought-provoking piece was the excellent letter regarding the amalgamation of the two Langleys by Eric Bysouth. He is, of course, correct in his opinion that a renunciation of the two entities would probably be of benefit.
Those vehemently oppose this are those who desperately cling to jobs that might be done away with, including the City administrator who compiled the negative amalgamation report, I believe.
