ADECENT BRI&~, IM UND£ClDED! It is a choice that would appear at the bottom of the ballot: None of the above. We say this not because we can't find anything favourable in any of those people running in Saanich North and The Islands. To the contrary, there are many good characteristics and ideas among the five with whom we have spoken. It's just that each choice carries a black mark or two against it. We admit that we have a soft spot for Gary Lundy of the Progressive Democratic Alliance (PDA). No one had declared locally for the PDA and Lundy stepped in to fill the gap. But his lack of familiarity with party policy was evident at one all candidates meeting where he responded to nearly every ques tion with an answer gleaned from the printed literature. However, we cheer his public-spirited decision to enter a cam paign he cannot win. Also running from Salt Spring is Lynda Laushway, who is carrying the banner for the New Democratic Party. Known locally for her participation in the Clayoquot protest and as an active member of SWOVA (Salt Spring Women Opposed to Violence and Abuse), Laushway has tried to make an issue of representing Salt Spring as a member of the government cau cus. She makes the very plausible assumption that Glen Clark will lead his party to victory, but the expectation that a backbencher on the government side can make a difference is implausible indeed. The influence of an Ml.A who is not part of the cabinet circle i - to the detriment of the system - negligible, no matter that he or she happens to be a member of the governing party. That aside, Laushway has been tainted by her vague refer ence on a Victoria radio station to controlling real estate prices as a means to provide affordable housing. To voters looking for More public involvement would less government interference in their lives, such sentiments rep resent bright red flags.

The new Election Act, Bill 28, sets out spending limits for political parties as well as groups or individuals. While we appreciate the underlying concern for the enormous role that money plays in an election, we believe this legislation is an unwarranted and unconstitutional infringement of free dom of expression. Why would this ad be illegal? Because it is critical of the NDP government for introducing the legislation and of the other parties in the legislature for their feeble opposition to it. And its value would exceed $5,000 if published eight times. Before election day, we urge readers to ask candidates where they stand on Bill 28. It's your freedom they're playing with.
