NEW VICTORIA, SSCP. The head of The People's Republic of Soviet Socialist Canada, has been faced with a difficult decision: Should the dictatorship release some control over the course of politics and economy in the country, or continue with its firm grip on the country's politics and society. While deliberations in Parliament continue, the people are beginning to question the Dictator's use of power.

The High Minister for Finance, who also happens to be the Dictator's brother, dismisses the claim. "What these people fail to realize is that we know what's best for them. The alternative is anarchy! I say stick to our course-- And execute these wackos for treason."

"Perhaps the people could be given some more political freedoms," muses the Government's Chief of Staff, who is the Dictator's sister. "Is there really such harm in allowing public discussion of ideas? We could even have a real Opposition Party. One that isn't just full of his puppets, I mean."

Meanwhile comments from the Head of State have been scarce, the question of his ethical standards being raised.

The SSC has been an anomaly in Socialism. Following the basic principles of socialism, the country has managed to respect some of the citizen's rights, though it has continued to maintain a firm grip on whatever issue that is presented to the Dictator.

This pivitol point in the country's politics can go either way. It could continue its path towards total Communism, or begin to respect personal rights. Similarily, the country has been in a stalemate on the issue of joining the United Nations.

However, the dictator may simply dismiss the issue, and spare the citizens who first raised the question, from their charge of treason.

All people enjoy the power to buy and seel their own products at comptetitive prices, thus we suggest you make the following changes to your government"s rather flawed economic system:

Place all buisnesses and corporations under private control, but keep them centrilized under rigid governmental oversight. If things get out of hand and these private-enterprises become revolutionary, your government will be able to easily re-insitgate command over these enterprises and quell any further thoughts of revolution.

Once these changes have been made, I can assure you that your nation will be a happier, more prosperous place to live in.
