TERRACE MAYOR Jack Talstra doesn't plan to actively T campaign for the Nisga'a treaty ~ but says he stands by his support of the deal.

"We like the agreement and we'd like to see it signed off so we can get on with our lives."

"You can go through the good courts and jump up and down and shout and so on. That's a great exercise, but for what? What's that ex- ercise trying to attain, real- ly?" he asked. "The real essence of the situation is different groups of people trying to live to- Jack Talstra gether on the same land and sharing goals and objectives," he said. "That's reality to me." Talstra suggested the treaty could meet the same fate as the Charlottetown constitutional accord, which was defeated in a national referendum. "The Rare Mairs of the day, they fought against the con- stitution, bui we still have the problem and we still have Quebec threatening to leave, and nobody has a better ans- wer today," Talstra said. "Are we going to do this again now with the Nisga'a treaty? Are we going to trash this one and then flounder around for the next 50 years?" "The more we mess around today, the worse it gets at a future time and for our children," he warned. Like the constitutional accord, Talstra said, critics of the treaty are trying to find fault but offering few solutions. "It's a little difficult to determine what the critics are after," he said. "If not this, then what? If not now, then when?" No one likes to be told whot to do. He said B.C. natives have steadily gained grouud in defining aboriginal title in the courts, raising questions of how any alternatives suggested by treaty critics could be imposed. "In the psyche of the white person in B.C., we still have a view that we should tell them what's right for them and we're telling them this treaty isn't right for them," Talstra said. "I think we have to be more respectful than that. These people have some of the best advice in the country. Their lawyers are second to none. This is what they want. In fact Smoking they wanted more. But this is the compromise that Canada's Food Guide to Healthy resulted." Talstra said he continues to be dismayed that provincial Would you like to quit smoking?

She laughs, or some- times apologizes very gravely, and then we usually talk about the toy sewing machine I received when I was about eleven years old.
