Ltd. W. S. COOK, Publisher “Second class mail, registraticm number 0190" 1979 .i \“D .o o o ", 1' U n 2 I 4 \° CULA‘ Stanfield On October 30 The Canadian people go to the polls next Monday to decide who will adâ€" minister their national affairs for the next five years. Any federal election is important but the outcome of the 1972 contest is highly signifi- cant for it affords our citizens the opportunity to halt the drift towards socialism in this country during the past four years under the Trudeau Government. Since Mr. Trudeau assumed office in June 1968 Ottawa has been dominated by the arrogant personality of the Prime Minister and an administration which has been largely negative in any of its legislative decisions - ROBERT SANFIELD Every taxpaying Canadian should not lose sight of the high level of personal income and sales taxes that marked the reign of former Finance Minister Edgar Benson. Mr. Trudeau very conveniently named Mr. Benson to a non-elective sinecure just before calling the election. However, it was his tax legislation, supported by the Liberal majority in Parliament. which, if.it had been passed, would have seriously affected the middle class of this country. The Benson proposals would have made it virtu- ally impossible to pass a man's life- time earnings on to a wife and child- , ren. Mr. Benson’s damaging tax . proposals would‘have been passed in . Parliament had it not been for the ; public outcry against the legislation. Or consider Cabinet Minister Bryce r Mackasey's mishandling of unemploy- ment insurance and immigration. Mr. Mackasey forced thousands of addi- tional Canadians to begin paying un- employment insurance premiums, then turned around and began pay- ing money out freely to many healthy, able-bodied citizens who had an aversion to working. The Liberals have moved towards substituting the welfare ethic for the work ethic. Thanks to Mr. Mackasey‘s mismanâ€" agement of our immigration laws, Canada’s laws in that area have become ludicrous. Anyone, regardless of his background or training. can enter Canada practically at will and if unable to find work. he immed- iately goes on welfare thanks to the generosity of the Canadian taxpayer. By Mr. Mackasey‘s own admission, there are some 50,000 immigrants illegally in Canada right today. Yet he and his leader continue to make this [country a haven for many undesirables who have nothing to contribute as citizens. In fact. most of them will land on the welfare rolls of our large urban centres. Consider the bankrupt bilingual policies in the federal civil service. Here we have a program that has already cost the taxpayers millions of dollars and deprived English- speaking Canadians of tin opportunity to serve or advance in the public service simply because their mother tongue does not happen to be French. But the most damaging indictment of the Trudeau Government is its repeated failure to limit unemploy- ment and control the fires of infla- tion. Its sad performance in the handling of these two major issues is enough to warrant its defeat. The Conservatives under the lead- ership of Robert Stanfield offer the only viable alternative to the present government. The Conservatives are the only major political party outside of the Trudeau Liberals who have any real hope of forming a govern- ment. Mr. Stanfield has promised if elected to put Canadians back to work. to lower income taxes for the middle class and introduce a system of wage and price controls to limit the ravages of inflation. The Con- servatives have offered a bold new program of financial assistance to the small businessmen and a promise to outlaw strikes in the public sector. Canada needs more businessmen directing its affairs. Mr. Stanfield has been involved in a family bus- iness and he has a proven record of administrative experience both in Ottawa and as a provincial Premier. He is a. sincere, dedicated Canadian who will bring some semblance of order into our national affairs after four years of mismanagement by the Trudeau Liberals. When the citizens of York Region go to the polls next Monday we sug- gest they support the two Conserva- tive Candidates in this area. In York North we endorse Stephen Roman and in York Simcoe, Sinclair Stevens. Protect Your Right To Vote The right to vote by secret ballot was won by our forefathers after centuries of struggle and is a priv- ilege to be cherished by Canadians and citizens of all democracies. since it is denied to most people in the world today. Unfortunately, many people do not take advantage of their right to take part in the decisions on how our country is to be run and in what direction it is to go. It would be indeed fortunate if anyone wishing to exercise the fran- chise were denied the right to vote because of crowded conditions at poll- ing sites (mostly schools) where up to 10 stations will be in operation October 30. We realize that York North Returning Officer Brian Bailey has become aware of the problems which are bound to occur and has made arrangements for special con- stables to be present to direct voters to the proper station. The voter can help ensure that he (or she) will be able to vote by tak- ing advantage of the provisions of the Federal Election Act which pro- vides for four consecutive hours off work within the hours the polling stations are open, without loss of wages or penalty. This will distrib- ute the load on the polling officials throughout the voting hours and eliminate to a great extent the crowd- ing and the utter chaos as the hour of closing draws near. It will also make it easier to find a parking space close to the poll and eliminate traffic hazards which would be cre- ated by large numbers of cars parked in the vicinity of the multiple poll buildings at a time when road ‘ traffic is normally at its peak. Full co-operation of the York Reg- ional Police will also be necessary to control parking and traffic in these areas. The polls will be open from 8 am to 7 pm October 30. Mr. Bailey has assured us that anyone inside the building at the closing hour will be allowed to vote. Four ducks on a pond, A grassâ€"bank beyond, A blue sky of spring. .

In the meantime. the autumn sun dapples the surface of our pond with patches of light and color as groups of tame and wild ducks patrol its surface. There are several features about elections in Canada â€"â€" even this electionâ€"that are un- democratic. One is the absence of any effective limit on elec- tion expenses. Another is the destruction of candidates‘ signs. “and especially destroying the signs of one candidate leaving other signs untouched. At pres- ent. these two factors coincide.
