Q. What does radium look like' C.F.
A. Radium is usually obtained from ore in the form of
hydrous sulphate, chloride. or bromide and it is sold and us-
ed in the form of these salts. These are all white substances
whose appearance is very similar to table salt or baking
powder.
Q. Does hot water freeze faster than cold water" J.R.
A. No, hot water takes longer to freeze than the same water
at room temperature. Chemically pure water, however,
freezes more quickly than water that contains impurities.
Water that has been boiled and cooled will freeze faster
than water at the same temperature that has not been
purified.
Q. Who invented the air conditioner" T.D.
A. The idea of the air conditioner was thought of by Willis
Haviland Carrier in 1902. Carrier was waiting for a train in
Pittsburgh when the revelation that air temperature could
be regulated with water came to him.
Soon, he built a model that was installed in a printing
plant in Brooklyn. This event marked the beginning of what
was to be a major change in America's lifestyle. Cool air
was in demand in no time. Many companies saw the advan-
tages of keeping their products and employees cool.
"Air conditioner" was not what Carrier called his inven-
tion. It was an "air washer and humidifier". Stuart Cramer
named his invention for cooling air the "air conditioner"
around 1906. Soon this was the generic term for any air Cool-
ing system.
Air conditioning units for the home were available as ear-
ly as the 19Ms but they were large and expensive. In the
1950s they were built smaller and the price was lowered.
Now America is definitely air-conditioned.

The Housing Crisis
by Bob Watson
It is very interesting to see various government leaders
and many citizens who think there are easy answers to pro-
blems riding the back of the housing crisis.
If we go back a few years to the infamous government of
Premier William Davis we would see how all this mess of
housing started. Bill Davis began rent controls and sent
builders and developers scuming into other projects. It is
illogical to expect a company or person to invest millions of
dollars in a housing project only to have a government tell-
ing him or her that their profit is eliminated or restricted,
depending on conditions at the time.
The normal practice is that a person or group invest in a
project and take their chances with profits and don't lean on
governments for the end result. However, when govern-
ment steps into the market place and interferes in the pro-
cess. naturally the normal forces of private enterprise are
suppressed.
The answer for housing in Ontario is that the government
encourage private builders to build accommodation and
soon there would be enough rental units to compete and con-
trol the price of one. In the meantime we believe the
government should announce exactly where the developer
is going - for sure - so he or she will have confidence to in-
vest in housing.
In past years the government encouraged developers of
apartments by loaning them capital at low interest rates
with stipulations that a percentage of the accommodation
must be rented at a low fixed rental pace. This deal is prac-
tical and it worked. Why did the government of Bill Davis
stop this excellent answer?
It is to be hoped that the current Ontario Liberal cabinet
could see the advantages to letting private enterprise forge
ahead and elimirsate the shortage of housing in the pro -
Vince.
Cost Of Living Index
Is Misleading
Those who are responsible for the application of the addi-
tional costs reflected in the published cost -of -living index
should examine their approach with something more than
casual aplomb. In considering adjustment to income com-
pensatim. pricing of product. indeed in all budgetary con-
sideration, the automatic application of the COL index can
be not only misleading. but it can be demonstrated that the
misapplication is in effect. a major engine in driving infla-
tmary factors.
if the purchasing power of the dollar is to be kept
reasonable and fair, more attention must be given, other-
wise the lifestyle of those not in a position to defend
themselves will became canpieteh intolerable. Those no
longer in the workforce 1 the retired) are at the complete
mercy of the system'
The major factors used in establishing the COL index by
Statscan are shelter t25%, food ( 16%), clothing 16%i, wet
related travel, etc. These items are generally classified as
'.essential". As inflation became a serious problem, we ap-
plied factors to enure these essentials were protected. By
going far beyond that concept, we have created a runaway
situation which is completely unfair to many, and when
compared to our international world competitive markets
is downright dangerous.
Let us assume a factor of 5% is established. In the field of
personal compensation. if we apply that factor to gross
compensauon. not only are we including the essential
items, but the discretionary items as well For example,
that portion of income assigned to savings ; pension, RRSP
etc, lifestyle ; holidays• travel, eating out, cultural etcl are
included in the adjusted package. A major item subject to
the continuing upward drift is personal tax, which brings up
the point of the glee expressed by the various governments
as the process escalates.
An in depth study of gross income expenditure on per-
sonal compensation, would probably indicate approximate-
ly 60% of the gross is subject to inflationary factors applied
to essential lifestyle. The balance can be considered as an
inflation driver. Thus the real compensation adjustment
should be somewhere between 3 and 4% where a 5% infla-
tion factor is in effect, to compensate for real costs and to
provide some upward movement in lifestyle for the reci-
pient.

Bob's Notes
Simple Test For Brain Tumor
Until recently acoustic neuroma has been considered to
be rare. It is now apparent that many more persons than
previously suspected air victims of this non-malignant
tumor.
Early detection has been most difficult, but a method
known as "brainstem evoked respomes" has proven to be
extremely accurate and is now being widely used by clincis
both in Europe and America. Sounds are delivered to each
ear through small hearing aid type devices. Small detectors
are pasted to the scalp and pick up electrical responses
generated by the sounds.
A self-help group recently formed offers support and
understanding to those attempting to cope with their chang-
ed lives and altered appearance. Write the Acoustic

Reaching All -Time High
Snowmobile accidents investigated by the Ontario Pro-
vincial Police have increased dramatically in the province
for the second winter in a row. The OPP is concerned that
the 1987 88 winter season. which is only half over, could be
the worst on record for fatalities involving snowmobile en-
thusiasts.

assigned permanently.
Re "Miracle On The Parkway"
Article Jan 201W
Following the car ahead too closely gets us involved in ac-
cidents sooner or later. Whv? Because we need that reac-
tion time for the brake pedal. The driver ahead already has
brakes applied when he see his rear lights, and that cushim
of space becomes so important.
The rule of thumb for space is eine car length for each 10
miles per hour. If we're travelling 60 miles an tour that
means 6x10, or 6 car lengths between the two of us.
Let's say you are on the Don Valley Parkway travelling
60 mph, following 2 car lengths ( you and I see this every
day), and the fella ahead slams on his brakes for - car trou-
ble, something ahead of him, oil spill. - anything!' What
chance to you suppose you have?
You haven't a chance. You slam into him, and if that big
truck loaded with gasoline behind you hasn't left enough
space - What then"
So when Bob Watson says he speeded up on the Dm
Valley Parkway to eliminate 6 car lengths of space ahead of
hum, should we be surprised he had a narrow escape?
We agree with you Bob, your prayers were answered -
this time!!
A Secret For You - Guy behind following too close? Just
take your foot off the gas (no need to brake) , he will pass
you. Oh sure, he might rant, rave, honk, give you a salute,
but won't it be nicer to see his wreck in tomorrow's paper
than yours?

Durham Launches Membership Drive
The Tourist Association
of Durham Region has
launched its first member-
ship drive. Already
membership associations
are coming back from the
many sent out to potential
members.
Agencies and businesses
dealing with the tourism
market in the region can
share their concerns, join
in group marketing efforts
and benefit from associa-
tion with others in similar
or complimentary
businesses. There is also a
category for interested
members of the public.
Benefits of membership
:include: a bi-monthly
newsletter of tourism news
in the area and from
around the province, dis-
counts on advertising in
some publications, par-
ticipation in a public
marketplace, staff training
opportunities and sharing
the fellowship and ex-
periences of others serving
the same clientelle.
Tourism is Canada's
third largest industry after
forestry and the
automotive industry. In the
Durham Region tourism
business can be expanded
from its present levels. One
need not be in the theme
park, museum or accom-
modation business to be
considered "tourism
oriented". Gas stations,
shops and restaurants all
see a number of "tourists"
annually, from locally and
abroad.
Metro Board Of Trade Briefs
Board Appears Before En-
vironmental Assessment
Board in Support of Finch
Ave. Extension.
Missing road links in the
Metropolitan Toronto
arterial road grid disrupt
traffic flows and cause a
breakdown in the ability of
the road network to move
traffic effectively. Without
the construction of several
road extensions, local traf-
fic operations become
degraded, other roads
must accept additional
traffic -olurnes sometimes
beyond capacity, and con-
gestion is compounded.
The completion of
several missing links and
other needed road im-
provements will reduce the
congestion experienced by
motorists in their daily
travel throughout Metro.
The Finch Avenue Exten-
sion has been the subject of
an Environmental Assess-
ment Hearing. This is the
last approval necessary
before its construction can
begin.

ner of the Amethyst Award, highest honour in the

Ground Source Heat Pump
With Hydro's help. the Janet Lee Elementary School in
Stoney Creek has become the first school in the province to
use ground source beat pumps with exhaust air heat
recovery. It is estimated that Lase of 14 four -ton 'Waterfur-
nace' heat pumps may make the all -electric school the
lowest energy user in the Ontario school system.
Electricity Demand
Ontario customers used 10.6 billion kilowatt-hours of elec-
tricity in November, down 0.3 percent from the same month
last year. This decrease can be attributed to unusually mild
weather throughout the month.
Export Revenues
Ontario Hydro sold an estimated 246 million kilowatt-
hours of electricity to the United States in November, earn-
ing Ontario consumers over $1.6 million in revenues.
AIDS Outpatient Clinic
An AIDS outpatient clinic will be established at Sun-
nybrook Medical Centre, Health Minister Elinor Caplan has
announced. "People with AIDS need constant and compas-
sionate care, and the hospitals that are providing that care
need our government's support," Mrs. Caplan said. "To-
day's announcement shows that our government remains
flexible to the ever changing nature and demands of this
disease."
Do You Know ....
1) How often have you been near the end of a long journey
and could think of nothing else but crawling into a soft,
warm bed?
Now imagine making that voyage on the back of a donkey
and finding at the end of your journey, a bed made of hay
surrounded with cows and sheep.
Mary and Joseph seemed to have made the best of their
situation and Baby Jesus probably never knew the dif-
ference. Luckily, Canadians rarely have to suffer through
such uncomfortable accommodations. In fact, do you know
approximately how many hotel rooms Canada does have to
offer its travellers?
1) 200,000
2) 280,000
3) 323,000
Answer: Statistics Canada's latest figures show that in
1984, there were 285,426 hotel rooms across Canada.

Bill Watt's Worlds
ON YOUR TOES:
Don Quixote is the
perfect ballet for a
February presentation.
The second month of the
year can be dreary enough
but there is sometimes a
hint of spring presaging
glorious summer.
There was a welcome
softness in the air as we
entered The O'Keefe
recently for a performance
of Don Quixote set in the
endless summer of sunny
Spain. The presentation
was something less than
memorable but it left us
happy and contented
nevertheless.
Some suggest that the
choreography of Nicholas
Beriozoff after Petipa and
Gorsky is not remarkable
and perhaps it is not; it is,
however, imbued with the
spirit of Iberia and we find
it satisfying. Too. the
music of Ludwig Minkus is
regarded in some quarters
as being akin to that of the
hack. Ridiculous!
It is simply the case that
Minkus wrote in subser-
vience to the wishes of his
choreographers with resul-
tant music that is always
rhythmic and melodic. Add
the John Ianchberry ar-
rangements and the
Minkus music achieves the
stature and status it has
always deserved and
sometimes not received.
This National Ballet pro-
duction is a sumptuous one
and we suggest that so-
mean seeing a ballet for
the first time should be
directed toward it. The
sets. costumes and lighting
are superbly rich and yet
Join
retain the sparse purity of
mediaeval Spain.
Now, to the dancing.
Much was made of the fact
that Tomas Schramek was
making his debut in the ti-
tle role. Much ado about lit-
tle in our estimation. Oh,
it's pleasant to observe the
progress of Mr. Schramek
into character roles but
that of Don Q. is not or
seems not to be demanding
and so we prefer little com-
ment.
David Roxander is being
groomed for character
roles too - far too soon in
our view - and was along as
Sancha Panza. Amusing
but only that.
The nominal lead
dancers were Gizella
Witkowsky and Owen Mon-
tague as Kitri and Basdio.
Miss Gizella seemed to us
to be having an off night.
Perhaps it was an earlier
unavoidable slip from
which she never recovered
but there was an
undeniable shakiness in
her dancing.
It was most testable in
her attitude when the sup-
port from Mr. Montague
was less than firm.
Perhaps the fault. if fault
there was. belongs to Mr.
Montague. When two are
dancing. they become pro-
perly as one and cause and
effect cannot always be
separated.
Both Miss Witkowsky
and Mr. Montague danced
well mind you but we've
seen them both dance bet-
ter.
We believe we might well
have been present at the

ing in this production as we
watched Jeremy Ransom
and Cynthia Lucas as
toreador and the street
dancer. They are, perhaps,
the handsomest couple in
the company and their dan-
cing skills together and in
solo are breathtaking.
One thinks particularly
of Mr. Ransom's dancing in
the tavern scene. We are
probably uttering natural
inanities but his dancing is
filled with enough raw but
controlled passion as to
make him a cock in rut!
Wondrous dancing and we
hope to see these two
paired again .. soon.

suspect that she is

In our Lenten sermon the
question of sin was discuss-
ed. Sin is not so much
disobedience or
misbehaviour as it is the
failure of love. When we
are impotent to love those
around us, we break God's
primary commandment.
That capacity to love is our
true measure as Chris-
tians.

Suffering From A Sinister Diabolical Condition
by Gay Abbate
Alderman Kurt
Christensen was not drunk
but suffering from "a
sinister diabolical condi-
tion" the night of his arrest
for impaired driving and
refusing to give a breath
sample, his lawyer told a
provincial court judge last
week.
The condition is
hyperglecemia or low
blood sugar, defence at-
torney Michael Wadsworth
said in his summation.
One of his witnesses, Dr.
Eric Shrubb, a chiroprac-
tor and naturepath,
testified that he has been
treating Christensen for
the past month for low
blood sugar and metabolic
disorders which can cause
migraine headaches, blur-
red vision, slurred speech
and poor coordination - all
symptoms which can be
mistaken for being drunk.
He said the accused has
probably had the condition
for several years.
Crown attorney John
)&Mahan said the medical
defence was "manufac-
tured" to cover up for be-
ing drunk. He pointed out
that Christensen did not
seek medical help until last
month - over one year
following his arrest.
"ibere is no evidence
that hyperglecef lia played
any part in the events of
Dec. ll." he told the court.

earlier that Christensen
smelled of alcohol, had
bloodshot eyes, slurred
speech, was belligerent
and had trouble walking.
He also said Christensen
drove his car northbound in
a southbound lane after
leaving Zack's Emporium
and Eatery at Eglinton
Ave. E. and Danforth Rd.,
made an illegal left turn.
drove up onto a median,
swerved from lane to lane
and generally drove
dangerously.
Christensen, on the
stand, denied all these
charges except making an
illegal left turn. McMahon
told the court it would have
to choose whom to believe.
He added that Soffe had no
reason to make up sueh a
story. Christensen was con-
victed of impaired driving
in August, 1982.
The trial finally ended
Friday but Judge Charles
Purvis reserved his deci-
sion until Mar. 22. The trial
lasted four days spread out
over six months. There
were a total of 16 witnesses,
all but two of them for the
defence.

Nearly 14,000 Scar-
borough public school
students will make
beautiful music together
for three weeks starting
Feb. 22 as the baton drops
on the 32nd annual Scar-
borough Music Festival.
Students in grade 1
through 13 participate in
vocal, instrumental and
string sessions in a non-
competitive setting.
Groups perform before an
audience and an ad-
judicator.
The festival was founded
in 1956 by a former co-
ordinator of music and 1000
students participated that
year, a far cry from the
numbers expected this
year.
'Ibis growth reflects the
growing importance of
music in our curriculum
and in the lives of our
students," says Cam
Cowan, director of educa-
tion.
Aims of the festival in-
clude: to raise the music
standards in Scarborough;
to create a learning ex-
perience for conductors
and students through
preparation, listening to
other groups and workshop
sessions, to provide an Op-
portunity for conductors
and students to receive
constructive suggestions
from a qualified expert in
the field of music; to
develop incentives and
goals for performing
groups and for conductors.
The festival is planned
and organized by a conn-
mittee of Scarborough
music teachers in co-
operation with the music
division.

Pull Out Of
Head Lice
Check
by Gay Abbate
Scarborough's boards of
education and health have
both pulled out of screening
for head lice leaving it up to
parents to check their
children' hair.
The board of education
has decided pediculosis or
head lice is not an educa-
tional issue and therefore
refuses to hire a health
care worker to check
students' hair.
The board of health end-
ed its screening program at
the end of last month leav-
ing no one to do the screen -
g.
mNow, students suspected
of having head lice will be
sent home with a letter tell-
ing parents how to check to
see if they do have head
lice and how to treat it if
they do. Neither teachers
nor principals will check
students' hair because of
their collective agreement.
Earl Campbell,
Superindendent of Student
and Community Services,
said the board will not re-
quire a doctor's certificate
as proof that a child is lice -
free before being allowed
to return to school. "We'll
take the parent's word at
face value," he said.
The board of health
which had been doing the
screening decided that
head lice is not a public
health issue and that the

technical skill and virtuosi-
ty of this world-class
ensemble of musicians,
joined by soloists Ofra Har-
noy, cellist; Lev Berensh-

Yuval Fichman.
The National Chamber
Orchestra of Canada, bas-
ed in North York and now

form under the direction of
critically acclaimed com-
poser, violinist and conduc-
tor Sasha Alexander

"North York is a city to
be proud of and the Na-
tional Chamber Orchestra
of Canada is putting North
York on the world's
cultural map," says Sasha
Weinstangel, Music Direc-
tor and Conductor. "We are
delighted to offer our third
consecutive season of great
concerts here, with a pro-
gram to please the most
demanding music con-
noisseur."
Ofra Harnoy is one of the
world's most exciting
young musicians. Her
many albums and TV ap-
pearances in North
America, Europe and
Japan have established her
as one of the most recorded
and admired cellists of all
time.
Born and educated in
Russia where he establish-
ed himself as a soloist and
chamber musician, Lev
Berenshteyn is now based
in Ottawa where he is a
member of the National
Arts Centre Orchestra.

Weinstangel was born and
educated in Yugoslavia
where he recieved the
highest academic degrees
from the University of
Belgrade. Described as
"passionate", possessing
"tremendous rhythmic
vigor," Weinstangel's
works reveal a prolific
composer, sought after by
leading chamber and sym-
phonic groups.

Maggie Warner, who
recently arrived in Toronto
from Sydney, Australia, to
take up the position of Area
Manager, Canada, says
that the move into Canada
is both an exciting and
logical step forward for
Tourism Australia.
"Canada has been
recognized as an important
market for Australia for
some years," Maggie
Warner said.
"There is an annual
growth rate of around 14
percent in the number of
Canadians visiting
Australia. As well, com-
pared with other major
markets, Canadians tend to
stay for longer when they
visit Australia, with an
average length of stay of 31
days." she added.
This is the time of year that most Canadians are dying to
get to a soft, sandy beach with a warm sun to beat up the
soul - as well as the body!

THE FIGHT FOR PEACE
by Bill Makris & Kartik A.
Morjaria
What first started out to
be a grade 11 English class
project in the fall of 1996, is
now known as a club with a
caring heart.
Some students know it as
JANUK others know it as
Project Humanity, but that
is not important, at least
not as important as the
causes for which they
struggle.
IIstarted when Mrs.
Soutar -Hynes, a grade 11
English teacher brought
her students to see "The
Diary of Anne Frank" at
The Young People's
L-ach lamik home.

Theatre. During this emo-
tional play the students
developed a dislike for the
Holocaust and sympathy
for the Jewish community.
After the performance,
all the students felt strong-
ly that the Holocaust
should never recur, and all
30 students agreed to work
towards a non -prejudicial
world.
They worked on it in the
English class as a class
Project. When the year end-
ed, Mrs. Soutar -Hynes
sensed student interest and
helped to form a club in the
upcoming spring of 1987.
From the autumn of 1966
to the spring of 1987, Pro-
ject Humanity has spon-
sored many events. One
such event was The Peace
Forum• which included the
releasing of hundreds of
balloons with peace
messages enclosed and the
printing of the well-known
JANUK sweatshirts.
These events publicized
the need for world peace.
as Vinay Jirdal eloquently
stated "if you cannot con-
vey the peace message in
Pearson then how can you
• I_ducate your children as to the
hazardous products in your
home and store those products
safely.
• Buy only those products which
can be used and disposed of
safely.
• Buy pesticides and other
household chemicals only in
quantities that you can
actualh, use.
• 1 lelp to organize special refuse
collections for hazardous
materials.
• Discourage overuse of plastics
:md styrofoam.
• 1. ncourage the use of re -usable
materials.
Ike your part to make sure
the world is safer for yourself.
That way we'll all benefit.
Canada`
expect the rest of the world
to be peaceful
themselves?"
Project Humanity has
dedicated the week of Mar.
7 to 11 as Human Rights
Awareness Week. It in-
vovles workshops, guest
speakers, assemblies,
musicians and a forum on
"Human Rights in Canada
and the World."
It would be a powerful
statement if people sup-
ported the theme. Pearson
C.I. would be looked upon
as a peace -loving school as
stated in its motto: "Peace
Through Understanding".

The Multicultural Com-
mittee at Lester B. Pear-

year and it is attempting to
promote an even greater
degree of harmony and
understanding among the
diverse ethnic com-
munities in its school and

The committee is
presently in the process of

to better pinpoint areas
where it can have the
greatest impact. U. Gover-
nor Lincoln Alexander has
graciously accepted an in-
vitation to participate in
the festivities during Inter-

Through the use of
various multi -faith calen-
dars. and the help of Pear -
son's Ethnic Council, P.A.
announcements will be
made throughout the
school year by students
who are celebrating special
days.
By giving the student
body a better understan-
ding of these holy and
festive times. the sclnod
hopes to improve the level
of understanding and
tolerance among its
students.
The committee is
presently investigating
many new ways to make
Pearson C.1. a better place

to "Peace Through

THE RIGHT 70 READ
Most people just sit bock and think that illiteracy is a ter-
rible p vbkm that someone should do something about.
Fortunately there are people who do more than worry about
it. they are doing something to alleviate the problem. These
people are volunteer tutors who offer their services to local
literacy groups.
One group that is lighting the bottle of illiteracy is the
Ajax -Pickering Adult Learn -to -Read program. It was
started in May 1985 by a group of tutors who were than
working with the Durthma Literacy Council. The Ajax -
Pickering group was formed because members of the Coun-
cil
oco-cil were primarily concerned with the Oshawa-R'hrtby area
and that a group localized in the Ajax -Pickering area was
needed.
The program has three main objectives.
These are ( 1) to recruit and train new tutors.
(2) to recruit students and (3) to increase
community awareness and to encourage cam-
munity co-operation in alleviating illiteracy.
The program's most important objective is
to reach those people in the Ajax -Puckering
area who ,need help in umprorrng their
reading and writing skills. It is important to
let these people know that there is help
available to them. If you know anyone who
could benefit from free, confidential tutoring
or if you would like to become a
volunteer tutor call the Ajax -Pickering Adult
Learn -to -Read program at 839-3063 or
686-�.

Report
from Norah Stoner
MPP Durham West
Increasing physical access by disabled persons and
senior citizens to existing community facilities is the aim of
the Ontario Government's Access Fund.
Under the program, which has been established jointly by
'the Office of Disabled Persons and the Office for Senior
Citizens Affairs, matching grants of up to $50,000 can be ob-
tained for approved renovations.
A publication explaining the program says organizations
(such as service clubs, senior citizens' centres, and con-
sumer and religious groups) which open their halls and
meeting rooms to the disabled or senior citizens could be
eligible for grants under the Access Fund.
The organization has to be private, non-profit and have
been incorporated for at least a year prior to applying for a
grant. Senior citizens and disabled persons centres which
are municipally -sponsored are also eligible. However,
some non-profit organizations (schools, hospitals, urtiver-
sities and colleges) are not eligible because a significant
portion of their funding comes from government ministries
or they are primarily providing residential care (group
homes and homes for the aged for example).
The access fund will provide grants for renovations such
as ramps, elevators, grab bars, alert and emergency
systems, washroom redesign and door widening, which im-
prove access to facilities for seniors and disabled persons.
The provincial contribution to a renovation project will
match dollar for dollar (up to $50.000) the approved costs of
the project. An organization's matching contribution can
not come from the federal or provincial governments.
The next deadline for applications for funding under the
program is April 1st.
For more information you can call 1-800-387-4456 or write

seniors and their families. As well, the pubiicatim can be
used as a reference resource by libraries, muarapal of-

"We must respect everybody's rights .. 'as stated in the
House of Commons in 1867 by Hector Louis Langevin.
It is now the fifth anniversary of the proclamation of the
Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. Since that time,
we have begun to see how the Charter affects the lives of in-
dividual Canadians. The Charter has brought in a new and
exciting era in Canadian Law.
From the time of Canada's first occupation by our
Aboriginal peoples, to the arrival of the British and French
Settlers, and the immigrants from Europe and all parts of
the world, this country has offered a sense of freedom to all
of those who have lived here.
However, while we as Canadians assumed that equality
of opportunity and participation applied to all members of
our society, these beliefs were not upheld by law.
It was not until August 4, 1960 that a Canadian Bill of
Rights was approved by the House of Commons. That great
parliamentarian and Prime Minister of the time, John
Diefenbaker declared, "No Canadian can give me sanction
to bigotry. That is the essence, one of the major portions of
this Bull of Rights."
The Diefenbaker government laid the historic ground-
work for the Charter of Rights as we know it today. It in-
cludes not only the rights which have traditionally formed
our heritage, but also those which we expect from our free
and democratic society of the 1980's.
As one can see, the Charter is a living document. It has
been designed to respond to the development of Canada. I
feel that we as Canadians each hold a responsibility to en-
sure that our society moves towards the principles of
tolerance, fairness and justice. The Charter supported by
this government, and individual Canadians, is helping
make this aspiration a reality.
