Sign is torn and smashed
Dear Rob,
An interesting footnote to Mr.
Mulroney's visit to our area yesterday was
what happened at the end of my lane last
night.
Some weeks ago put up a sign which
says, on one side, "CANADA - don't trade
it away" and on the other, "Let Canadians
decide". It expresses my concerns about
the Mulroney trade deal and my belief that
Candians should have a chance to vote on
the issue.
The sign stood peacefully at the end of

my lane until last night when some enter-
prising soul, perhaps emboldened by Mr.
Mulroney's visit, got up the courage to poll
it up, tear it to bits and smash the stake
against our mailbox.
The symbolism of this act of an-
nonymous violence was too great to let
pass, Mr. Crosbie is forever talking about
the "irrationality" of those ,ti ho disagree
with the Mulroney trade deal. Unfor-
tunately it appoars that those who support
it will resort to violent intimidation. TFry
are prepared to tear up and trample the <
quest that ordinary Canadians have a vote
on a deal that will profoun,,iy effect their
country. And in the process they are
prepared to damage Canadian insitutions,
in this case symbolized by my smashed
mai. box.
1 am not amused or intimidated. Canada
is a country worth fighting for. Politicians
who lie about their true intentions before
elections, like cowards who annonymously
smash signs and mail boxes, can not be
respected.
Neither should they be feared.
I hope what happened at the end of my
lane is not an example of how supporters of
the Mulroney trade deal intend to. behave
during the election. If they do stoop to in-
timidation they will be surprised to find
that ordinary Canadians are looking for
honesty and integrity, not violence.
Yours sincerely,

Tony McQuail was surprised and maddened when he found the sign at the end of his
lane destroyed one morning last week. The sign, which asked for a vote on Free
Trade, was torn down and smashed on the eve of the prime minister's visit to the area.
