Alliance's cultural position

[Tibor Egervari]

Don,

    I don't know what D. Grey means when she uses the word "Canadians", but I
guess no one can use it meaning all Canadians. That's why we live in a
democratic society. As a matter of fact, I think  the first part of her letter
could have been written by Sheila Copps or even the Governor General.
