Canadian Missiles
Sir, —The confirmation that Canada is to have nuclear warheads for its obsolete antiaircraft Bomarc missiles indicates that the annihilation machine still clanks onward in its progress towards a fiery end. Obediently, Canada has taken itself and the world “one step away from peace and one step closer” to a war of accident, miscalculation or madness, as warned by President Kennedy on September 25. 1961. Thus Canadians are now secured pawns in the game of nuclear lemmingism. Canada could have been, in the words of President Kennedy of June 10. “one of the many nations taking one of the many concrete steps to achieve genuine world peace.” Now this is not to be. Canada's voice will be a hypocritical lament of empty phrases and hollow hopes, as the hardware of extermination rolls across their border.—Yours, etc., THANKFULLY EX-CANADIAN. August 20. 1963. Tunnel Link.— The City Council has agreed to acquire land needed for the Ferry road-Tunnel road intersection and the extension of the Tunnel road to Dyers road. Three property owners are involved.
