AS LONG AS WE'RE TESTING

Ottawa -- So Mike Harris wants to give welfare recipients drug tests (news 
- -- Nov. 14). Well, the rich have addiction problems, too. Why doesn't Mr. 
Harris test for debilitating alcohol and cocaine problems before advancing 
privileged Ontarians the tax rebates and tax reductions that he continues 
to slather on them? If we're going to put public funds into social 
engineering, let's make it work at both ends of the spectrum.
