key to dying with dignity
To the editor:.
• Since the death of Sue Rodriguez,
Parliament will again be discussing
whether to allow assisted suicide,
While the related court case drew a
lot of attention and public sym-
pathy, it does not call for an
automatic change in the law. People
break the law all the time; we do
not go running to government
saying "change the law". Assisting
in suicide is still illegal, and for
very good reasons. We are not
talking here about a right to die; we
are talking about doctors being
given permission to kill people.
Be assured that after the terminal-
ly ill will come the severely
disabled, the lonely and depressed,
the elderly, those in a coma (the
decision will be made `.`for their
own good"), the mentally han-
dicapped, infants diseased or
disabled at birth, etc. Just as we
never 'got 'a little bit of abortion',
we can never have 'a little bit of
euthanasia'.
Your MP needs to hear your
views on this. The key to dying

The story of Bombardier
•from page 4 •
By 1935, he had assembled a model
that satisfied him. He packed his
bag and set out to drive the
machine around the province. At
each new town he took the local
newspaper editor for a ride. The
remarkable new invention thus
became front-page news in local
papers across Quebec. Bombardier
discovered that he was an impres-
sive salesman as well as, a very
good inventor.
Priests, country doctors and am-
bulance drivers quickly bought the
new machine. Soon, in communities
across Canada "Bombardiers" were
serving as school buses and am-
bulances, delivering the mail, and
carrying out rescue work.
When World War II broke out the
Canadian government asked Bom—
bardier to design a winter troop
carrier. The' modified snowmobile
met widespread approval and Bom-
bardier continued to invent military.
nilachines.
When the war • ended, Bombar-
dier's company continued to ex -
The business grew by leaps and
'bounds when Bombardier invented
'a new snow machine which he
called "Ski -Doo" in 1958. The Ski -
Doo revolutionized life in Northern
Communities and snowmobiling
became a wildly popular winter
sport throughout the country.
Joseph -Armand Bombardier's
tradition of innovation lived on
after his death in 1964. Over the
past twenty years Bombardier Inc.
has become a leader in the field of
transportation.
The company has produced sub-
way cars for Montreal, Mexico city
and New York, built a number of
high-tech planes and expanded their
fleet of recreational vehicles.
Today,' bombardier Inc. has grown
from being a young inventor's
dream to .one of the largest com-
panies in Canada.
pand. Bombardier quickly realizes
that improved roads and
automobiles would decrease the
demand for his snow machines and
he diversified. L'Auto Neige Bom-
bardier was . soon making a large
variety of specialized transport
vehicles.
