WE NEED RECALL LEGISLATION

To the editor: So here we go again, an election is around the corner and we are being promised a number of goodies by the incumbents, some already broken in the past, and they've added a new twist: "it will only come into affect after the election."

Any bets on us really getting the offer?

I think not in most cases. This needs to stop as it's unethical and morally disgusting and happening now in all levels of government.

We need a bill for recall legislation to be brought forth to control the ethics of our present-day politicians, similar to the one they now have in B.C., where politicians are held accountable for such things as making big promises and not keeping them or passing unacceptable/ even harmful legislation in all manner of areas that go against our charter or laws or ordinary reasonableness for Canadians and taxpayers.

Today's politicians are in the game to reward themselves first and us last, if at all. There surely must be a politician out there somewhere with the spirit and ethics to bring such a plan to fruition. If so they would certainly secure thousands if not millions of votes to back them up. Time for change! R.A. CAMERON
