EDITOR:

It was St. Patrick's Day and we all donned green. We had a two-fold reason for wearing Green, we were introduced to Peter Bevan-Baker – the GREEN PARTY leader. Ah yes, Mr. P. B.-Baker will surely lead us into a new political realm. We recently attended an onstage performance at The Playhouse at Victoria-by-the-Sea where Peter (the dentist) and a friend – Matt MacFarlane (the lawyer) hit it off by 'jostling back and forth' about the differences that lie between a dentist and lawyer. The two of then missed their callings, they brought the house down with their antics. Look at his intentions for this wonderful Island, approach Peter and give him your ideas for this place where you live, he's open to suggestions, suggestions about this Island and changes that should have been made eons ago. I'm thinking Green … are you?

Ralph MacDonald,

Borden-Carleton
