Gamble, 44, a partner in the law firm of Gamble and Garbe in Markham, made his remarks at a press con- ference at home last week to announce his candidacy for PC nomination in the federal constituency of York North. This new constituency includes Vaughan, Richmond Hill and Markham towns. Dustan Miklas of Thornhill, who announced his candidacy the week before, is the only other candidate so far for the nomination. Gamble, who was asked his opinion of the present Tory leader, said he wouldn’t “speculate at this time," but he did admit the PC party had a “history of displaying its dissatisfac- tion with its leaders." In making his first bid for any kind of political office, Gamble said he decided to become a candidate after attending a number of meetings at which the question of capital punishment was discussed by federal government members. Despite the fact public reaction was 80 per cent in favor of retaining the death penalty, the attitude of the MPs was that “democracy works in a limited fashion." Gamble said. The public was left with individuals who heard them out, but “who didn‘t commit themselves to what they wanted. “That's not the way the government should be run,” Gamble said.

Most of the fashions came from Patricia Bridal Salon and the Man Shop in Markham. Organ music was supplied by Bob Richardson, and vocal entertainment by Norma Martin. “Motion picture politics have given us bad government and if the country is to be saved from economic and political doom, then we must revert to elections run on issues," he said. He said it had become “increasingly apparent" to him over the years federal elections were “won or lost in the same way you would win a nomination for the Academy Awards." ‘ One could “shrug properly, use vulgarity, carry on as a jet set image maker, but smile at the right times and kiss the young girls," while keeping the issues cloudy. As with fellow candidate, Miklas, Gamble said he was very concerned with Canadian unity. Separatism must be stopped if people have any belief in their country. There should be no dealing with Quebec on an economic basis; Quebec could be convinced separation wasn‘t palatable when the economy ground to a halt. There was no “constitutional validity" for the principle a province could separate by a referendum. If Gamble said, also, he always felt he thought one way and the rest of the people another way. However, after talking with a widely-diversified group of people, he found they didn‘t disagree with what he had to say. Now their views must be “mar- shalled" and correct legislation im- plemented. Were not the provincial PCs doing the same thing by announcing an election when the public said there was no need to? It was a “technical” thing, Gamble said. Besides, they had no alternative after losing a vote of confidence. Wasn't that the way they wanted it? “Well,” Gamble started to say, and' then dropped the matter with a chuckle. Far from the emergency ward. Marilyn Grasse couldn’t look cooler than she does in Working the short shift Markham, for example, could separate from Ontario, “and I in turn may make my house lot an independent nation by a referendum of my family." Gamble said. Gamble said Trudeau had a “conflict of interest" where Quebec separatism was concerned, and Canada needed someone whose loyalties lay elsewhere. Asked if there were a simple way out of unemployment and inflation, Gamble said there was, but he‘d rather save that issue for another time. However, he did say government spending could be reduced by an ob- vious $2 billion right away. Without elaborating, he said $1 billion could be pared from “one expenditure alone,“ while another billion could be saved with the elimination of some government departments that shouldn't even exist under the British North America Act. @112 tral Section C comtnunity news Wednesday, May 4, 1977 this halter-top and shorts combination. Tennis anyone? Gamble said he would use the money saved to give taxpayers a reduction in tax. Labor had said that, if taxes were reduced. pressure on wage demands would be reduced as well. He attended the University of Toronto and Osgoode Hall law school, being called to the bar in 1959. “Taxes must be reduced,” Gamble said. The average Canadian worked two days a week (out of five) to pay his taxes. “Where will it stop?" he asked. A native of Perth, Ontario, Gamble grew up in ’l‘horold, St. Catharines and Niagara Falls. He was tax counsel with the departâ€" ment of national revenue in Ottawa from 1959 to 1963.. Then he entered private law practice in Toronto. He moved his office to Markham last year. He and his wife, Katie, and 'sons, Mark, 17, and Blake. 15, have lived in the Box Grove area of Markham since 1972. 010 h Hoggl
