Let's Kill The GST. This Space Could Be Yours For $9 PER WEEK Page 2 THE NEWS, POST Wed..Apr. 18, 1990 Opinion a page for expression for you and us Hooray For 2 MPs by Bob Watson Well we must give praise to the two Alberta MPs who would not give their votes in Parliament to the passage of the GST law (Goods and Service Tax) even though they were threatened with expulsion from the Progressive Con- servative Party if they didn't vote the way the Prime Minister had dictated. Our uninformed prime minister then came on television to say that they had not voted for this money bill and so under British parliamentary tradition they had to be expell- ed. Well. Mr. Mulroney is not very well informed about tradition - or about democracy. Every member of Parlia- ment is supposed to represent his or her constituents, not the leader of his or her party. And in the mother of Parliaments over in Britain. members of the Prime Minister's party often vote against the party's stand and they are not required to leave the party because of that stand. In the United States congress, members of the two parties frequently cross party lines to vote and rarely does everyone in the same party vote the same! Mr. Mulroney obviously doesn't believe in democracy nor does he understand British tradition. All he seems to believe in is his right to pass laws regardless of the public's sentiment. Over 80% of voters in Canada are against the GST and for very good reasons. It would be the most expensive tax to collect in our history and already Muroney's gang is hiring 2000 civil servants at a cost of $2 billion to handle the rebates which are going to dribble back to Canadians for one reason or another. In the meantime private enterprise and especially small business. will be paying out in man howl about $5 billion to collect this idiotic tax. All prices and services will cost most because of the tax and the extra costs to business to handle it will be transferred to the cost of goods and services. If the government had added just 5% to the current income tax. there would have been no extra costs to the collection of either government or private enterprise and the govern- ment would have had the money to pay off some of the na- tional debt. However. the Mulroney government is still spending money on groups to get their votes. dishing out money as if it were easy to balance the budget at Ottawa. Then there is the Bank of Canada leader who thinks that by increasing the bunk rate he can solve everything' Instead he is creating less sales for cars and houses in the marketplace and making homes unaffordable to the average consumer. What we need is a 6% interest rate which woWd help all con- sumers and lower the cosi of the government's debt. The answer is so easy to all of our problems but politicians like Brian Mulroney and Michael Wilson just haven't got any sensible ideas on how to do it. It is time for all Canadians to do the un -Canadian thing and rise up in anger and express it to these out -of -touch - with -reality politicians.

Scarborough General Hospital "ill s(x)n intr.,Auce a :w• k program called "Combined Care', thu: si*nificanlix changing the current mother -baby care process at the hospital. 'pursing staff, Obstetricians and Pediatncians from the hospital gathered together at Cullen Country Barns on Mon. Mar. 26th for a dinner and presentation, marking the kick- off of this new direction for the hospital's maternity ser- vices. "Combined Care" allows for one nurse to look after both the mother and the baby. This is in contrast to the current procedure at Scarborough General Hospital where dif- ferent nurses care for the parent and her sibling. The new method is aimed at improving the co-ardination and com- prehensiveness of maternity care, while it also represents an important advancement in the support of a family centered environment. Above at the Maternity Dept. of Scarborough General Hospital on Mar. 23rd is Esther Bussey with her baby. Joshua. and nurse Lisa Ainsburg marking the new Combin- ed Care system. Freedom Of Language Dear Mr. Editor: 'English only' is the same thing as 'French only' sign laws. Both are reactionary. It conjures up an image of two chidlrenn, each clutching his own toy, each unwilling to share with the other. I think Canadians are bigger than that. The issue demands that reason prevail. The controversy does. however, provide an opportunity to ask our parliament - once again - to revamp our Official Languages Act. It should be abundantly clear to Ottawa by now (as it is indeed to average Canadians), that language cannot be legislated_ It should be equally clear, that they can't legislate tolerance. There is a third option - much better than 'only' laws - or official bilingualism . . a third option which not only recognizes Canada's multi-ethnic heritage, but it's also Our Charter of Rights and Freedoms states clearly that Canadians are guaranteed "freedom of expression". Com- mon sense would tell us that our laws should reflect this. Common sense should tell us what we need is a Freedom of Language Act. (Instead, we have 'official bilingualism' with a burgeoning bureaucracy to promote it. Freedom is cheap. It offers recognition only, and all the freedom necessary to use whatever language we so choose. It does not impose. It does not hyphenate Canadians. It does not bequeath official status. It offers equal opportunity. It is unequivocably just and fair. It is toleant. It is easily understood. And - it requires no bureaucracy - it casts nothing to promote. Governments should not try to legislate language. It is a freedom. Canadians should demand nothing less than that our laws reflect that. I want to hear from Canadians who agree. Together we can ask Ottawa to apply a little old-fashioned common sense to a volatile issue. In the Canadian tradition, we the people, should not expect Ottawa to come to its senses on its own. I am willing to start the ball roUing. I want to hear from you. My address is: "FREEDOM", Betty Maxwell, Box 1958, Neepawa, Manitoba ROJ 1HO Let's stand up for Canada. Let freedom ring - from sea -to sea -to sea. Sincerely Betty Maxwell From National Citizens' Coalition Dear Sir The latest budget of Prime Minister Mulroney's govern- ment, like its five preceding budgets, is a failure. We should not feel relief that the latest budget didn't in- crease taxes. Mr. Mulroney's government has increased taxes 33 times in the past five years! It's high time the line was held on taxes. In fact, taxes have probably been increased indirectly by foisting part of the tax burden onto the provinces. We'rethe people who get taxed in the end, whether the hand in our pocket comes from the federal or provincial governments. Mr. Mulroney's government should have led by example by ending the unlimited indexing of pensions for MPs and federal civil servants. It should have stopped wasting billions of our tax dollars on foreign governments and thousands of special interest groups. The temporary, illusory or one-time cuts that are in the budget will not affect the structure of government overspending. Privatizing Petro -Can was a welcome move but the government should have gone even further and sold off other Crown Corporations like the CBC and Canada Post. Finally. the budget did not respond to the overwhelming opposition to the Goods and Services Tax. Instead of impos- ing this tax on Canadians, the government should hold a na- tional referendum on the issue. :fir. Mulroney's government had yet another opportunity in this budget to set our country on a healthy course. Tragically, the prime minister lacked either the vision or the courage to do so. We are all the losers for it. Yours truly David Somerville President OHIP Cards Soon Starting this spring, new individual health numbers, on plastic cards, will be provided to every bona fide resident of Ontario, Health Minister Elinor Caplan has announced. Health coverage, including Ontario Drug Benefits, will remain the same, but everyone will eventually need the new health card with its io-digit number, as old OHIP paper cards and numbers are phased out. "Ibe introduction of this new card means people's health needs will be better served,.. Elinor Caplan said. "A per- sonal number is the key to reliable records that no kxtger need to be changed as people grow up, leave home, switch jobs, marry or divorce, raise families or retire. Individual cards also mean improved confidentiality. Under the premium -driven, family -based system, several people might use the same number but only persons paying premiums could be contacted by the health ministry. This put at risk the maintenance of confidentiality for other family members. The cards are part of the health ministry's modernization and consolidation of all its information systems. The overhaul should provide savings of more than $1.5 billion over 10 years, with 10 percent of that amount resulting from use of the new health cards. Following this year's initial registration, newborns and new residents will be added as they arrive. Each person's health number will be assigned for life. Eventually, that one number will provide access to all health programs and services. Its common use by hospitals and other inssbtu- tx s, most of which now issue their own cards and main- tain large client registries, will reduce their administration costs. Since residency in Ontario must be established in order to obtain the new health card, both fraudulent and uninten- tional use of Ontario health benefits by non-residents will be curtailed. Registration kits will be mailed to every household in the province, over a two-week period beginn- ing Apr 17. Disagrees With Replacing GST Dear Sir: I read with great interest your column on the proposal by Mr. Neil Brooks to replace the proposed G.S.T. by an in- crease in income tax rates. Mr. Brooks, of course, confirms that the existing Federal Sales Tax must be eliminated. The actual reality of Mr. Brooks' presentation to the Finance Committee indicates that all personal income tax payers would have to pay 15% more taxes. This includes all low and moderate income tax payers as well. There would be no assistance for these people like the G.S.T. credits that will, in fact, assist low income Canadians to be better off. Mr. Brooks study makes no mention of the reduced economic activity because of a reduction in investment ac- tivity because of the increase in taxes. Of course, the G.S.T. will, in fact, encourage investment .. exactly the opposite of the Brooks plan. Neither the N.D.P. nor the Liberal Party were prepared to endorse this proposal and 1, for one wouldn't support an increase in income taxes nor would your readers.

Guidelines for installation of condom machines established The board established guidelines for the installa- tion of condom dispensing machines in secondary schools. Two machines will be installed in North York's 20 secondary schools at an estimated cost of $12,000. The condom - which must meet Board and North York Board of Health stan- dards for quality - will be sold at a price to recover the cost of the machines, product, and maintenance. The dissemination of ap- propriate literature to parents, students, teachers, and ad- ministrators was also ap- proved. Director to review Secon- dary School report cards The board asked the Director of Education to review the effectiveness of the method of reporting student achievement at the secondary school level and report back to the board in April. Strategic Plan to be unveil- ed in March A strategic plan for North York Schools which has been developed to res- pond to the needs of the '90s will be presented for discussion at the March 28 regular board meeting. Quality Assurance update The Director of Educa- tion outlined areas of praise identified in the last Quality Assurance report (teaching excAlence, stu- dent self-esteem, parent in- volvement, and the con- tribution of caretaking and maintenance staff, for ex- ample), areas needing at- tention (revising and upgrading school plans and clarifying educational goals for parents, for ex- ample) and detailed the steps to streamline and im- prove the current Quality Assurance process. This year all secondary schools will be reviewed. As well, the board is conducting major curriculum reviews in Reading, Mathematics, and Co-operative Educa- tion. Expansion of Middle Level Extended French program deferred The board has agreed to defer implementing Middle Level Extended French un- til 1991-92 at the earliest. Unavailability of French teachers was cited as a serious concern. School Year Calendar ap- proved The board has approved the following 1990-91 School Year Calendar.

The board approved that there will be 195 school days of which 186 will be us- ed for instruction and nine for professional activity days. Evaluation S}stem review- ed The board passed a series of recommendations to help employees and their supervisors understand the purposes and process of performance evaluations. Among the recommenda- tions, it was agreed that each employee must receive a performance ap- praisal at least once every two years. Elementary teachers reach tentative settlement A tentative agreement has been reached by the negotiating teams for Metro's public school boards and their elemen- tary teachers, the Metro chairman told members of the board's Standing Com- mittee.

Ontario Open First Aid Competition On Apr.21 In 1971, an event was launched in Ontario to pro- mote romote health and safety awareness throughout the province. Twenty years later. the Ontario Open First Aid Competition, sponsored an- nually since 1971 by St. John Ambulance, has been successful in promoting this awareness of health and safety by encouraging residents throughout On- tario to publicly utilize and be recognized for their first aid knowledge and skills in emergency situations. The 20th Annual First Aid Competition is to be held Sat. Apr. 21st at the Fort York Armoury in Toronto at 1 p.m. with first aiders throughout the pro - vine participating. The Hon. U. Gov. Lin- coln Alexander will be the Opening Ceremonies keynote speaker, and will remain on hand to assist to the presentation of awards immediately following the competition. Purpose of the competi- tion is to encourage these first aiders to display their skills to the general public by taking "problems" designed for emergency situations, and using the limited information given to them, they provide the necessary first aid treat- ment on casualty simulators. These simulators are volunteers dressed and acting the role of accident victims.

Apr. 18, 1990 Bill Watt's Worlds AT THE OPERA: There is little narrative suspense in operas since the story lines are well known. This is particularly so when an opera has been adapted from another work. Where the original work has no narrative suspense either then the opera must succeed on its own merits of music and libretto. Consider Verdi's Otello based on Shakespeare's Othello. The play has no suspense to speak of; it is a superbly written exercise in manipulation of the emo- tions and desires of an in- secure man. Yes, Othello is an insecure Black in a White Christian world even though the fact is downplayed in modern pro- ductions. perhaps wisely so. In anv event, the denouement is in evidence almost from the opening. So an opera version of Othello must have superb music to 'sustain it else it becomes tedious. Regrettably, Verdi's Otello currently being presented by the Canadian Opera Company at The O'Keefe is not one of the master's better creations. Mind you, Verdi at his arguable least is better than the best of such as Janacek, Berg and other such poseurs. Even so, there is little of melodic line or emotional evocation in the score. So the opera must survive as an entertainment on ex- cellent singing and characterization. Ermanno Mauro in the ti- tle role is quite impressive. He carries himself as a warrior king while still con- veying the message that he is susceptible to insinuation in that part of his life that he loves most but fears los- ing the worst, the fidelity of his wife Desdemona. In a word, his characterization is ex- cellent and beautifully sup - c7 CAKES AND HAND -MADE CHOCOLATES Atedo fresh dally wfrh pun whipping creom 1045 Bellamy Rd.

Only one aspect of the aforementioned characterization puzzles us and we are prepared to display possible ignorance of historical culture in so saying. Would a Moor have spoken/sung with a Castilian lisp? Stefka Evstatieva is a splendidly junoesque woman perhaps more com- fortable with Wagner but her sweet soprano quite carries the day and the role. The plummiest role of course is that of Iago and it has been assigned to baritone Allan Monk who should be hugely successful in but is not and through no fault of his own: he simply does not look like an Iago. This classic villain should be thin like Cassius. not robust like Falstaff. Further we've always felt that the role should have been written for a tenor in order to be more sweetly 0nsuative (new word but what the hell). We confess too, our feeling that Otello is better portrayed by a baritone or even a helden tenor but then we are not Verdi. Back to Mr. Monk. His voice is glorious and his portrayal well honed or at least as far as possible. To be honest though. he is not well served by the English translation in surtitks. Our Italian is not sand enough to state if the translations are word for word but they corm to be and as a result FAIRVIEW LIBRARY THEATRE 35 Fair..eA V 3 -,, .- SIP.- ^a• '.vp E a• ^ V1,11% Qoad Canterbury Tales Book by Starkie 3 Coghill (Translation from Chaucer by Coghill) Music by Hill 3 Hawkins.

We are firm in declaring that Messrs. Mauro and Monk and Mlle. Evstatieva do exceedingly well in their roles but we suggest with the utmost kindness that they might have been miscast. Is this production of Otello without merit? Of course not! There is much to admire and enjoy. One thinks of Odette Beaupre in the role of Emilia, a woman fearful and know- ing of her husband Iago but loyal to her mistress Desdemona. There is the superb work of the chorus under the direction of Donald Palum- bo. There are the superb lighting effects of Stephen Ross. There is the sump- tuous albeit sometimes overly so. conducting of Maurizio Arena. And, as so often before, there is the grand crowd effects of Director L0tf1 Mansouri. Otello is, as must be ob- vious by now, worth one's custom but it's not Verdi at his best. EARTH TOPICS: Among the five new reporters recently hired by Global Television is the fust full-time erMroomient reporter. Former CBC Journal producer Linda Boyle became Global's environ- ment reporter as of last evening. Applause. ap- piause. Miss Boyle will likely be interested in three books which have just crossed our desk for consideration. All concern the natural - more or less -environment. In order they are Making Peace With the Planet by Barry Commoner ( Pan- theon) . Clearer. Cleaner. Safer. Greener A Blueprint (sic) for Detoxi- fying Your Environment by Gary !dull (Villard) and Saving the Earth A Citizen's Guide to En- vironmental Action by Will Steiger and Jon Bower - master ( Knopf) . Each of them is a hand- some volume which clearly states the problem of our surroundings being fouled and what should be done about it. Each of them however is redundant. It seems to us that everyone knows about the problem and anyone of any in- telligence knows what should be done about it. Far better we believe to form strong voting groups to force necessary changes than to write books telling us what we already know. While we're on the stump allow us our own sugges- tion. Two of the biggest pro- blems facing the world to- day are the increasing shortage of fossil fuels and disposal of waste. Why rot- as we will have to eventual- ly anyway -cease the use of petroleum and petroleum byproducts in favour of alcohol .. and use the waste to make it? Of course the powerful lobbies of Stan- dard Oil, Shell and the others would never stand for it but it is the most reasonable solution. Com- ments anyone? Making Peace With the Planet contains one piece of information that gives some relative comfort.

Apr. 18, 1996 THE NEWS/POST Page 7 Loop With Yonge St. - 1 Government should be allocating its funding for public transit to the con- struction of the Sheppard subway. A subway along Sheppard Avenue will con- tribute to the decentraliza- tion of Metropolitan Toron- to," said Mr. Gardner. In his presentation and discussion with the Metropolitan Toronto Priorities and Policy Com- mittee, Provincial Deputy Minister, Gardner Church, stated that higher density residential development would be a requirement in order to justify and Support any rapid transit line. In contrast, land use along D ifferin Street is primari- ly light industrial. "Unfortunately, in the last few months, the TTC has reported a drop in the level of ridership. In light of reductions in ridership, an emphasis should be placed on increasing rider- ship levels, and by attrac- ting new riders to the TTC. The Provincial Govern- ment should be working with Metro and the TTC to achieve this end, said Councillor Gardner. He feels that at the pre- sent time, there is insuffi- cient residential develop- ment to support an exten- sion of the existing transit line. There may not be enough people who would benefit from the construc- tion of an extension along Dufferin Street. As a result, few new riders will be attracted to the TTC. Councillor Gardner is proposing that the Provin- cial Government commit itself to the construction of the Sheppard Subway. A Sheppard Ave. rapid tran- sit line is supported by Metro Toronto Council. The Sheppard Ave. sub- way is seen as an integral component of the concept of creating subeentres as a means of managing Metro's future growth. In order to maintain its viability, level of growth and quality of life, the development of subcentres is being encouraged as a means of meeting this ob- jective. A Sheppard sub- way line would strengthen the creation of a North York subcentre. KALLYIS STEAK AND RBS Charcoal broiled k Cut NY Steak and dekwus B.B.O.

Metro Toronto Board Of Trade Notes The Canadian Chamber of Commerce FOCUS 2M Task Force Reports The FOCUS 2000 project arose as a response to the major competitive challenges facing Cana- dians. Canadian business and the Canadian (umber of Commerce. In this regard, The Canadian Chamber of Commerce established six task forces to provide recormnenda- tions of policies and pro- grams which would assist Canadian busirKs4 to meet the challenges of 2000 and beyond. With regard to the en- vironmental report, "A Healthy Environment for a Healthy Economy: A New Agenda for Business". the board recommends the Canadian Chamber on this well prepared report and states that "it has many practical recommenda- tions, and is an excellent reference for many of the strategies the board re- quires to achieve its own environmental objectives... In addition, the board demonstrates its support for the project through many of its ongoing and vaned environmental in itiatives. In response to the educa- tion and training report "Putting Business into Training - A Guide to In- vesting in People", the board supports the thrust of the Task Force recom- mendations. The board also informs the Canadian Chamber about activities of the board's Education and Business -Education Relations Committees which demonstrate that the board actively supports the FOCUS 2000 project through initiatives of its own.

Councillor Hollander was one of the few Councillors who spoke out against the proper - "Metro has problems such as poverty and homelessness. We ( Metro Councillors) have it good. We have a salary somewhere in the range of $60,000 one third of which is tax free," he said. "It wouldn't be right to adopt this severance policy. I can't imagine anything that would be more un- popular with my consti- tuents, except maybe, the GST. " In spite of Hollander's remarks, most members of council were supportive of severance allowance. A notable proponent of the proposal was Councillor Moscoe. "Municipal politicians are not permitted to pur- chase unemployment in- surance, and are not entitl- ed to sick leave gratuities," he said. "Metro Councillors deserve benefits which we would wish for all members of society. Municipal politicians need not be third-class citizens." Moscoe told council that without a severance allowance, involvement in municipal politics is "open to those who can afford to be defeated." He said the severance policy should be adopted to prevent municipal politics from becoming a "gentlemen's club". Moscoe's comments were echoed by Councillor Anne Johnston. "A severance allowance would keep politicians honest and able to resist temptation," she said. Councillor Bill Christie voiced particularly strong support for the severance policy proposal. "Adopting this proposal is not a mat- ter of charity," he said, "It's a matter of dignity." _�& Lida Intemationa Artificial Floral Specialists 265-L I DA ANNIVERSARY SALE Up to 50% off 2273 Kingston Road Hours: Tues. -Sat. 10.8: Sun. 1243.

Anniversary The Toronto iinaorical Board invites everyone to help commemorate one of the most significant events in Toronto's history - The Battle of York - at ffistoric Fort York on Sun. Apr. 22nd. This special day will feature remembrance ser- vices for the British, Cana- dian, American and Native warriors who fell during the battle; music from the War of 1812 period; and a wralkirrg tour of the Victoria Square Cemetery - York's first military burial ground - Services will begin at 2 p.m. after which refreshments will be serv- ed in Blockhouse Not The tour will follow at 3 p. m. Admission to the service is free. On Apr. 27, 1813, fourteen American ships landed an invading force of 1,750 American soldiers on the beach just east of the modern-day Sunnyside Pavilion. From there, an attack against the fort and the Town of York ( now Toronto) was mounted. After a valiant defence by British regulars, local militia, and Ojibway and Mississauga warriors, Fort York and the town fell. A week long occupation followed the battle, marred by the looting of private homes; the burning of the parliament buildings, and the destruction of public stores. Though the attack was heralded as an American victory, it fell short of its primary goal, - namely, the seizure of British naval vessels in the town. One ship had escaped before the battle, the other, the "Sir Isaac Brock", was burned by the British during their retreat. The following year, 1814, saw a British counter at- tack against the American capital of Washington. There government buildings, including the White House, were burned in retaliation for the attack on York and other targets. Historic Fort York is located on Garrison Rd. off Fleet St. between Bathurst St. and Strachan Ave. Free parking is available. The site is TTC accessible via tate 511 streetcar from Bathurst Subway Station.

The Canadian environment ministers met on Mar. 20th, to take action on a number of environmental issues being pursued by their national coordinating organization, the Canadian Council of Ministers of the Environment (CCME). One of the issues on which important and firm in- itiatives were taken was excess packaging. The environment ministers declared war on excess packaging, agreeing to adopt a series of measures designed to cut the amount of packaging that ends up in our garbage dumps. Recognizing that packaging contributes significantly to the volume of solid waste in Canada, the ministers endorsed a National Packaging Protocol for reducing packaging by 50% by the year 2000. The Protocol is the work of a 30 member multi - stakeholder National Task Force on Packaging, establish- ed by the COME in April, 1989. As a first step, the ministers established a 1992 interim national target of 20% reduction over 1968 levels of packaging. If that target is met in 1992, the savings in annual waste collection and disposal costs will exceed $50 million dollars. The ministers challenged the packaging industry to in- itiate measures voluntarily to meet the interim target. They signalled, however, that they would immediately begin to prepare compatible legislation and regulations to achieve the necessary reductions. Measures in the protocol set minimum content levels for recycled material and regulate packaging imported into Canada. In addition, a ..Code of Preferred Canadian Packaging Practices" would give preference to systems that use no packaging, followed by those that use mininal packaging. reusable packaging and. finally, recyclable packaging. Canadians understand that our landfill sites are growing at an unacceptable pace. This is no secret to is in Ontario Riding. Each year the average Canadian family buys a tonne of packaging, of which 8D percent is used once then thrown away. This is a situation that must be addressed and in my opinion this initiative has done just that. Once again this year. the federal government has mailed out renewal applications to Guaranteed Income Supple- ment (GIS) and Spouse's Allowance I SPA I recipients. To be eligible to continue to receive these benefits you must send in these renewal fours. MP Participates In Ceremonies At Chart Industries Expansion Ren6 Soetens. M.P. Ontario Riding participated in the ex- pansion ceremonies of Chart Industries Ud., on Fri. Mar. 30th at 10 a.m. Officials at Chart believe that the Free Trade Agreement will enable them to become more competitive in the U.S. market. Presently, Chart's products are subject to a four to five percent tariff when entering the United States. Given that management believes that the American market is one of its primary opportunities for growth, the FTA will almost certainly be beneficial to Chart. This ceremony represents Soetens' fifth opportunity in the last year to take part in opening and expansion ceremonies which the companies involved claimed were, in part, a direct result of the Canada - U.S. Free Trade Agree- ment. Chart Industries is now realizing the benefits of the FTA and according to Soetens, is demonstrating "confidence to invest in their future and that of Ontario Riding" Chart Industries Ltd., is one of the world's largest sup- pliers of collision repair equipment. Apart from holding the largest share of the Canadian market, Chart's sales in Japan are the largest of any supplier in the industry and the company has also captured a significant share of the U.S. market. Since 1981, Chart has more than doubled its sales making it one of the top four North Amencan manufac- turers of collision repair equipment. The Hon. Otto Jelinek, Minister of National Revenue, was also in attendance. HANDI-TRANS BITS Handi Trans is a totally accessible transportation system for all our disabled citizens.
