There was a commission recently, headed by the honorable david crombie.

	Who does What

Apparently it tried to spell out the truth about our governmental
structure, the responsibilities of the various legislatures in our
province. 

	I would like to see a new and different type of investigation.

	I call it, for want of a better phrase,

	
			 Who owns what.


In 1993 I boycotted the FW Woolworth co.inc. I haven't shopped there since.

I extended the boycott to the stores that, according to the FW Woolworth
co.inc. discount card (1993 version), were part of the FW Woolworth
co.inc. group of companies. 

Here's the list.

Woolworths
Woolco	
Ashbrooks	
Best of Times
Champs Sports	
Reflexions
U.B. Anywear	
Northern Reflexions
Northern Traditions	
Silk & Satin
Canary Island	
Foot Locker
Karuba	
Kinney/Fredelle
Lady Foot Locker	
Randy River
Willow Ridge	
Robinsons

In keeping with the "truth in advertising"  principle I think all
companies should indicate their ultimate ownership, this will enable all
consumers to know which companies and countries are profiting from their
patronage. 

Ask yourself, " where is my hard earned money going?"

If you agree with this truth in advertising ideal tell your M.P or M.P.P,
and let others know to pass the message on. 

If you want to know why I am still boycotting these companies, Email me at
