Economic Chaos Courtesy
Of Mulroney Government
The bank rate is going up again and has reached a point
where an average individual can no longer sustain a loan
for a car or house or credit cards. Finance Minister Michael
Wilson still backs the head of the Bank of Canada who is set-
ting these ridiculously high interest rates. We note that off
in Japan the interest rate is 3% - and this low fact does not
seem to bother that country's economy'
It is high time that the leaders of the policy at Ottawa get
removed from their positions. The simple democratic way
is for the ruling Progressive Conservative Party members,
who are supposed to be at Ottawa representing the citizens
of this country and not the banks or the civil service, ex-
erted their constitutional right and replace the Prime
Minister and the Finance Minister - and anyone else who
believes in the idiotic financing presently being forced on us
all.
If the Progressive Conservative MPs who represent us do
not take action against Mulroney and Wilson then they are
equally responsible for the coming economic mess of our
country and should resign and let the citizens vote in a bet-
ter representative.
This coming fall and winter. if the bank rates continues to
rise artifically by the Bank of Canada thousands of small
businesses will be put out of business. When the ridiculous
GST comes into force in January more will close down
because it will be impossible to run a small business pro-
fitably when the public can't afford to borrow or buy and
confidence in the economy has been virtually removed.
What the value of our Canadian dollar is to the American
dollar is really not as important as the fact that no one can
afford a 15% mortgage on a new house. With the current in-
terest rate people are restricted from buying new cars
because of the high cost. The result will be less cars being
produced in Canada and thousands of workers getting laid
off. Is not this crisis more critical than whether we have a
4% or 5% inflation factor or a Canadian dollar that is only 70
cents instead of the high 86 cents today'
It doesn't taste much brainpower to realize that our
federal government financial policies are all wrong and
nu st be adjusted to common sense and for the good of the
average Canadian. not some head of a government agency.
When are you PC MPs going to exert your muscle in the
proper way and Ret rid of your current leadership .. please'

Credit Card Costs April 1990
Canadian consumers spent over $381 billion on goods and
services in 1969. Many of them used their creidt cards to
make these purchases. Studies show, however, that only
half of these consumers usually pay off their credit card
balances in full each month. During 1989, for example,
household indebtedness in the form of consumer credit rose
by $8.2 billion. This is a slightly lower increase than the $9.7
billion increase in 1968.

By Terry O'Shaughnessy
It seems that the more ques-
tions asked about the Goods
and Services Tax, the more con-
fusion is created by the so-called
simple, fair and workable tax
system proposed by federal
Finance Minister Michael Wil-
son. Recently, another area of
confusion was brought to light
by John Bulloch, president of
the Canadian Federation of
Independent Business, who
is deeply concerned about
Canada's retailers as they face
the daunting task of coping
with the as -yet unharmonized
federal/ provincial GST at the
cash register.
The facts tell the story:
Approximately 450,000 to
500,000 cash registers are cur-
rently installed in Canada.
Roughly 10 to 15 per cent are
computers, while the remaining
85 to 90 per cent are electronic
cash registers. Another 200,000
retailers use cash drawers with-
out any sort of electronic or
computerized equipment. Most
electronic cash registers in use
today can handle two tax sys-
tems as long as both taxes are
applied on the same number,
but they cannot handle two
taxes if one tax is applied on the
other—the current state of the

YOU COULD EARN UP TO
$4800 In 24 Hours!
Can you picture yourself mAmg at least
55000 dollars a week, every week? If you
can. 1 urge you to read this article, it odd
be worth thousands of dollars to vou!
My name is Mark Preston. I am 32 years
old and a self made millionaire. A few
years ago I discovered a money snaking
method that changed my life forever. This
is not just another "get rich quick scheme"
This is a unique new• system that is in
demand everywhere, yet few people even
know it exists.
Anvone can do it. Trust me. If vou want
to make monevthis system is for you.
When 1 first started this money making
program, 1 was flat broke and at least
SIUM dodos in debt. My family thought
I was crazv and said I should be out look-
ing for a ':real job" That did not stop me.
I was determined to make it with this fan-
tastic money making plan I had discovered.
I started at home on the kitchen table
with no capital. Within a year I was taking
in over $20,000 A WEEK ... MORE THAN
A MILLION DOLLARS A YEAR. You
heard me right, OVER A MILLION
DOLLARS A YEAR! I went from driving
an old beat up Pick -Up to a Brand New
Lincoln Continental. I paid for it in cash.
I bought a new home in a prestigious
neighborhood, a waterfront summer cot-
tage, and a Townhouse in Florida. I do not
mean to brag, but these are my results us-
ing this amazing money making system.
Do not envy me, join me!
THE SECRET REVEALED
k. ffic , ! brad discovered a
tionary new money making program that
would continue to make me thousands of
dollars a day. It seemed so easy. I asked
myself why everybody wasn't rich? Then
it dawned on me that not everyone knew
about this secret method of making
money. You do not need special training
or even a college education for this money
making system to work for vou.
Once you have learned how to use it,
your money worries will be over for life.
You will have financial security and peace
of mind. This money making system is
perfectly legal and amazingly simple. It
has nothing to do with real estate, the
stock market, or gambling of any kind.
It does not matter what vour financial
situation is now. You can start this money
making program at home in your spare
time with less than $15.00. In a few short
weeks vou will see the cash start to roll
in. Once you put this money nuking
system to work for vou, the skys the limit!
ve
You will hacash tD spend on whatever
von want, whenever you want it. Think
of ie. Enough cash to finally put an end
to economic nightmares forever!
HERE'S PROOF
I am sure you are somewhat skeptical
at this point. That just shows vou have
good business sense. Read what a few
people had to say about my money mak-
ing program

dill Watt's Worlds
AT THE OPERA:
We confess an initial em-
barrassment over our lack
of familiarity with
Puccini's La Rondine cur-
rently in production by the
Canadian Opera Company
at The O'Keefe.
Embarrassment dispell-
ed, however, upon learning
that this is the Canadian
premiere, to be replaced by
a question. Why has La
Rondine (The Swal low )
taken so long to fly here?
It is a charming fine de
siujcie work, rather more
like operetta than opera,
replete with a luscious,
opulent score.
Plot? La Rondine is most
succinctly described as a
happier La Traviata.
Magda. la rondine, is the
mistress of wealthy Pari-
sian Rambaldo. She falls in
love with Ruggero, they
run away together. she
flies back to Rambaldo still
loving Ruggero. ( And
wouldn't Humberside's
Miss McGuiness be proud
of our latter accomplish-
ment of pruscis writing.)
Ah, but what wondrous
musical joys from the
Broadway sounding over-
ture to the final curtain a
scant two and a half hours
later. And, how well they
are presented!
Magda and Ruggero
were performed on the
night of our attendance by
Elizabeth Knighton Printy
and Robert Brubaker.
Miss Printy admirably
portrays both world weary
mistress and a maiden
awakened by love both in
actions and in song. She is
seemingly at one and the
same time, and with the
fine use of her vibrant
soprano, worldly deter-
minate and sweetly sur-
rendered.
Mr. Brubaker is callow
youth personified. He is
never however a twit; he is
always the young
gentleman as he sings with
the tenor voice of a fallen
angel. Even in anguish he

James Hoback as
Prumer the posturing poet
conveys a message of
worldly strength or
strength in the ways of the
world through the medium
of his excellent tenor voice.
This is notably so in his
scenes and duets with
{Meryl Parrish as the maid

Miss Parrish's role is in
the nature of comic relief
but she is never a clown:
always a lady who, with
apologies to Cole Porter,

plain that the conductor's

To be honest though, the
fault might have been

semi -tragedy to downright
knockabout comedy.
Enke Sommer is the star
attraction and the question
everyone is asking is how
does she loon now'. Well.
she is quite glamourous but
she is not the Elke Sommer
we recall. She is no longer
the dimpled little darlin' of
seeming endless curves
and exciting pro-
turberances. She is slim to
the point of looking almost
anorexic.
All right then, that's how
she looks. How does she
act? Better than ever. In
fact she is now a fine
polished light comedienne
as well as a lady of percep-
tion in roles that many
might gloss over.
She is a properly upset
family woman who
discovers her husband in
apparent flagrante delecto,
a bitchy British actress
with a gay husband and a
tough suburbanite suffer-
ing through a holiday with
previous best friends.
Aiding and abetting are
Marvin Goldhar as her hus-
band in Acts One and
Three, John Evans as her
husband in Act Two and
neighbour in Act Three,
Catherine Barroll as the
hooker in Act One and the
neighbour's wife in Act
Three.
All are excellent and all
are sharp foils for Miss
Sommer.
Stage West is a theatre
restaurant and we cannot
conclude without commen-
ting again on the excellent
buffet.
A new entrEe is Iamb
Loin au croute with Mint
Sauce. If Miss Sommer
ever tries it, we warrant
she will soon be again the
curvy venus we once knew.
It is simply delicious. We
have the recipe and it's

Discovery Of The
Titanic At Cedarbrae
In April of 1912 one of the
most memorable of all sea
disasters occurred when
the R.M.S. Titanic slid
beneath the icy North
Atlantic waves and 1500
passengers and crew of the
',unsinkable vessel" died in
the frigid waters that night.
Seventy-eight years later
the word "Titanic" is still
Synonymous with grim fate
and unexpected disaster.
The compelling story
was enhanced by the recent
discovery of the Titanic
followed by a number of
haunting photographs
taken of the ill-fated ship.
The corroding hulk, a far
cry from the sleek and
Polished ocean liner which
was triumphantly christen-
ed a short time before her
mysterious sinking, is
revealed to be slowly
disintegrating under
nature's merciless actions.
Why did this ship, one of
the safest and best -
designed ever built, sink?
What kept the rescuers,
some of whom could see the
ship's lights in the
distance, from getting
there in time? Will the
Titanic, or parts of it, ever
be recovered?
Corey Keeble, Associate
Curator of the Royal On-
tario Museum's European
Department, will present
an illustrated talk on the
discovery of this famous
ship and answer some of
the many lingering ques-
tions about the Titanic, on
Sat. Apr. 28th at 2 p.m. at
Cedarbrae District
Library, 545 Markham Rd.
Everyone from ages 12
years and up is welcome.

Metro Toronto Board of Trade
Executive Summary
POLICY IN ACTION
Commercial Concentration
Tax
By letter dated Feb. 20,
1990, Ontario Treasurer
Robert Nixon responded to
the board's recent submis-
sion expressing concerns
about the impact of the
Commercial Coocentation
Tax (CCT) on the overall
oast faced by businesses
located in the Greater
Toronto Area and urging
the Ontario government to
reconsider this measure
( "Metro Toronto Tax
Burden", January 18, 1990)
The treasurer advised
that "The Government
believes that the cost of the
Commercial Concentration
Tax to businesses will be
more than offset by the
benefits from the im-
provements to roads and
transit that are being fund-
ed in pact by the CCT...
Also in response to the
above submission, Metro
Chairman Alan Tonks
stated "I fully endorse the
position which the Board of
Trade has taken. " Further.
the Metro Chairman added
"Let us hope that we have
had some impact on in-
fluencing the decisions of
the Treasurer."
Business Names Act
A Discussion Paper on
proposals for a new
Business Names Act was
released in February 1988
by the Ontario Ministry of
Consumer and Commercial
Relations.
In a letter to the Director
of the Ministry's Com-
panies Branch in March
1988, the board indicated its
support in principle for the
proposed Act and made a
number of ===_
tions on issues raised in the
Discussion Paper.
Then on DeC. 2Dth, 1989
Consumer and Commercial
Relations Minister
Gregory Sorbara introduc-
ed Bill 108, An Act nespec-
:ing Business Names.
The board's Legislation
Committee is reviewing the
Bill. In a recent letter from
the Ministry, we were ad-
vised that the Ministry an-
ticipates the Bill will
receive Royal Assent in the
Spring Session.
Proposed Metro -wide
Reassessment Program
By letter dated Jan. 22,
1990, Ontario Minister of
Revenue Remo Mancini
responded to the board's
recent letter expressing its
concerns regarding
Metropolitan Toronto's
market value assessment
plan.
In advising that he had
taken careful note of our
board's views, the Minister
stated "Metropolitan
'Tehb6ro'ff ' ibbtioh' 'ort
market value reassess-
ment is a local option which
reflects Council's
understanding of, and sen-
sitivity to, Metro's local
conditions, needs and
aspirations. As with all
other requests,
reassessments are im-
plemented by the Province
only upon formal resolution
by Council "
As part of the C. T. E.
award, winners receive a
$1,000 Savings Bond and an
all -expense -paid trip to the
Ryder Dealers Conference
in New Orleans.

Metro Toronto Board of Trade
Executive Summary
POLICY IN ACTION
Commercial Concentration
Tax
By letter dated Feb. 20,
1990, Ontario Treasurer
Robert Nixon responded to
the board's recent submis-
sion expressing concerns
about the impact of the
Commercial Coocentation
Tax (CCT) on the overall
oast faced by businesses
located in the Greater
Toronto Area and urging
the Ontario government to
reconsider this measure
( "Metro Toronto Tax
Burden", January 18, 1990)
The treasurer advised
that "The Government
believes that the cost of the
Commercial Concentration
Tax to businesses will be
more than offset by the
benefits from the im-
provements to roads and
transit that are being fund-
ed in pact by the CCT...
Also in response to the
above submission, Metro
Chairman Alan Tonks
stated "I fully endorse the
position which the Board of
Trade has taken. " Further.
the Metro Chairman added
"Let us hope that we have
had some impact on in-
fluencing the decisions of
the Treasurer."

A Discussion Paper on
proposals for a new
Business Names Act was
released in February 1988

In a letter to the Director
of the Ministry's Com-
panies Branch in March
1988, the board indicated its
support in principle for the

tions on issues raised in the
Discussion Paper.
Then on DeC. 2Dth, 1989
Consumer and Commercial
Relations Minister

ed Bill 108, An Act nespec-
:ing Business Names.

Proposed Metro -wide

1990, Ontario Minister of

recent letter expressing its
concerns regarding
Metropolitan Toronto's

plan.
In advising that he had
taken careful note of our
board's views, the Minister
stated "Metropolitan

sitivity to, Metro's local

aspirations. As with all
other requests,
reassessments are im-
plemented by the Province
only upon formal resolution
by Council "

Discovering Costa Rica
"Call it Central America
without gunfire". The
speaker was Yerick
Chaviarai, my guide to
Costa Rica, the peaceful
kingdom in a war-torn
region. This year more
Canadians than ever before
are discovering this tiny,
affordable paradise
located north of troubled
Panama, and south of war -
battered Nicaragua.
A thriving democracy for
the past century with the
highest literacy rate in the
region, Costa Rica abolish-
ed its army in 1948 and has
since served as peace -
broker in an area seething
with bitter conflict. When
then -President Oscar Arias
Sanchez received the 1987
Nobel Peace Prize for his
Central American peace
piaci, the whole nation re-
*ced.
The prize had an im-
mediate impact on
tourism. Tourism Minister
Mario Quiros told me the
government had begun a
carefully programmed ex-
pansioo of tourism in the
early 'Ms. "Carefully Pro-
grammed" meant doing
nothing to disturb the
ecological balance in a
country that is home to
more than 800 species of
birds, 238 different mam-
mals, 360 species of amphi-
bians and reptiles and
12,000 plant species. A
tenth of the country is na-
tional parkland ranging
from the deep jungle of the
south to the lunar land-
scape of the northern
mountain areas.
When the peace prize
was announced, the
tes opened.
hotels, such as the
Cariara, the Corobici and
Sheraton Heraduu a, made
their presence known on
the skyscape of the capital
city of San Jose and along
the Parc Coast.
To offset the heavy book-
ings of mid -winter, the
government is trying to
make potential travellers
aware that Costa Rica of-
fers something to do every
season of the year. The
countryside is as fresh and
delightful in mid -Spring
and Autumn as it is in
January. In October and
April you will find pleasant
temperatures along with
fewer tourists on the
beaches and cheaper
prices.
Few countries offer the
cultural riches or contrasts
found in Costa Rica. Poised
between North and South
America and peopled by
almost three million cheer-
ful descendants of Indian
and Spanish civilizations,
the country has borrowed
from the best of both
worlds to create a people -
friendly society. Coffee
from the misty hilltops
fuels the economy.
"Tiros", as they call
themselves, are as much at
home at an operatic perfor-
mance in the magnificent
National Theatre as they
are at a feast of Indian fare
at the mountainside Ti-
quicia Restaurant, outside
San Jose.
To get to the latter we
were driven east of the
capital to the base of a hill
that climbs straight up.
The minibus switched to
low gear and a long groan-
ing climb begins, in the
dark. There is no electrici-
ty in this suburb. Half an
lour later a plateau, of
sorts, is reached. We were
told it is an old coffee plan -
The Scarborough
Philharmonic Orchestra
celebrates its 10th anniver-
sary season with a celebra-
tion concert "La Belle
France" on Apr. 28th at
Birchmount Park Col-
legiate auditorium at 3663
Danforth Ave.
The concert will include
works by Debussy, Ravel,
photo by Pete McGarvey
Cation.
We groped through the
blackness to a doorway
where restaurant owner
Robert Slicker awaits,
outlined by candlelight
from within. In the dusky
gloom we pick up a cup of
"witches' blood", a rum -
based concoction, and
begin to nibble cautiously
at the appetizers. In the at-
tached kitchen, two wood
fires are blazing as Cook
Mario Bagio puts the
finishing touches on corn
soup and other staples of
Indian fare known for a
millennium in this area.
Fish, chicken and pork turn
up in surprising and
delicious combinations. A
lime tart and rich, dark
coffee completes the feast,
but the real dessert awaits
us on the terrace.
Spread before us and
below and to our right and
left are lights... millions of
them... the twinkling
iridescence of nighttime
San Jose and the six towns
and cities surrounding the
capital. It's a summer
night sky fallen to earth
and so overwhelming that
nobody speaks.
Even man-made
wonders tend to be unique
in this land of nature's
treasures.
A Toronto Premiere
The Danny Grossman
Dance Company returns to
the Premiere Dance
Theatre, with the Toronto
premiere 'Ground Zero",
Apr. 24 to 29 at 8 p.m_, as
part of the 1989 90 CIBC
Dance Season.
One of the most original
exponents of modern dance
in North America, the Dan-

pletely original style of
dance since its founding in

proach to movement ex-
pression and breathtaking
theatricality filled with wit

company will perform

"Nobody's Business",
followed by the Toronto
Premiere "Ground Zero",

Shostakovich's First Violin
Concerto.
..Ground Zero" with its
riveting costumes and set
design, deals with a planet
being held hostage. As the
planet approaches the zero
hour. it finds itself with the
choice of total destruction
or a new starting point.
This 10 -member Toronto-
based dance trouble has
performed at major dance
festivals in North America,
West Germany, Italy and
Israel. The company has
also performed to au-
diences in 17 countries

Grossman's works are in
the repertoires of the Na-
tional Ballet of Canada.

with Rene soetens, M.P.
In recent decades, we have radically changed life on
Earth and greatly diminished our planet's ability to assure
the continuation of life. Increasing world population, from
2.5 billion in 1950 to 5.2 billion today, along with a twenty-
fold increase in global economic activity since 1900, has
finally taken its toll. Changes in the Earth's atmosphere
damage our climate, crops, forest, and economy. Oil spills
and chemical fires create short-term problems but may
create long-term effects not yet fully understood.
"Your destiny is a mystery to us. What will happen when
the buffaloes are all slaughtered? And what is it to say
goodbye to the swift pony and the hunt? The end of living
and the beginning of survival.
"We love this earth as a newborn loves its mother's heart-
beat. Care for it as we have cared for it. Hold in your mind
the memory of the land. Preserve the land for all children
and love it."
With this quote by Chief Seattle, The Honourable Lucien
Bouchard. Minister of the Environment, opened "The
Green Plan, A National Challenge". The Green Plan will
provide a framework to help Canada advance towards the
goal of making Canada. by the year 2000, the industrialized
world's most environmentally friendly country. The Plan's
success will ultimately depend on a viable and active part-
nership between individuals, business, industry and
governments, committed to changing environment -related
attitudes and behaviour.
The Green Plan consists of four stages. with the publica-
tion of the discussion paper marking the first phase. It sum-
marizes environmental questions and explores possible
solutions. From April 17 to May 10, information sessions
will be held in approximately 30 cities to explain the process
and timetable.
From May 21 to June 30, the second phase of discussion
will take place in provincial and territorial capitals with the
participation of federal ministers, who may also be joined
by their provincial colleagues. The public will be notified
well in advance of the dates of the discussions. The discus-
sion document will then form the basis of public debates
organized across the country.
Throughout the summer. the third phase will involve the
final formulation of an action pian, based on the public's in-
put. to be tabled in the House of Commons in the fall. Final-
ly. the fourth phase will consist of the action plan's im-
plementation with the assistance of Canadians from coast
to coast.
Presently, we as Canadians are at a critical stage of our
evolution to sustainable development. To bring about sus-
tainable development, individual Canadians and their
government must proceed together. The Green Plan
enables us to work together to create a framework that will
address immediate environmental problems and provide a
long-term strategy to deal with issues as they arise. If we
act now, it will not be too late for a future in harmony with a
restored environment.
