Ma% 2, 19911 Opinion a page for expression for you and us DAVID SOMERVILLE A Penetrating Analysis of "The Trouble With Canada" A new book has just been pub- lished that is sure to set off a storm of controversy among Canada's political and media elite. It's entitled The Troublc with Canada (General Publishing) and written by a successful businessman named William Gairdner. It not only analyzes the troubles besetting this country but offers many workable solu- tions. In the process, this well writ- ten and readable book utterly demolishes many of the myths that have underpinned the philosophy of Canada's govern- ing establishment for the Iasi two decades. This iconoclastic book blames Canada's many ills on big government, the welfare state and on the erosion of traditional values. Gairdner does not pull any punches. He calls welfare programmes and foreign aid ex- pensive and counter-pnx3uctive ripoffs. he says radical feminists are engaged in destructive social engineering and that government interference is destroying Canada's health care system. The Trouble with Canada also takes a frank, no holds barred look at some sensitive subjects such as the policy of multicul- turalism which he calls un- natural. elitist and unfair. The book also paints a depressing picture of Canada's fiscal situa- tion. Using graphs and charts to hack up his caee.

Pearson C. 1. by Akita Toaeatti The fluctuations in our economy are reflected in a number of activities including travel. While pleasure travel seems to lag behind econorruc recovery, evidence from re cent history shows us that business travel moves almost it parallel with economic conditions. moving down rapidly when the economy slows and rebounding quickly as tht economy improves. Statistics Canada reports that between 1990 and 1984, a period embracing a recession, business travel decreased by over 2 million person -trips: a decrease of 23%. As tlx economy improved, between 1984 and 1989, person -tripe more than doubled and in ISM business travel stood almost 3D% above the 1980 level. Business travel expenditures aLsi grew by a whopping 39% between 1996 and 1988 alone. By the same token, pleasure travel dropped by over 1; million person -trips between 199D and 1984. Although it recovered over 3 million person trips by 1988, it was stil short 3 million trips from the 1980 level - a loss of ^. The summer season, however, has always beer associated with vacations and fun times with the summer peak for pleasure travel accounting for 49% of yearl.k person -trips. On the other hand, business travel is stead' - showing a 28% share of yearly business person -trips durir4 the summer months. Statistics show that the typical overnight busines traveller is predominantly male (three to one), 25 to 4 years old, with a post secondary education and tends to sta', away for shorter periods of time than people trayelling or pleasure while travelling greater distances : almost 200 kr' more). The longer the trip, the more likely it was beins made on business. While airplanes carried almost 30% of overnight busines travellers in both 1990 and 1968, automobiles carried mor than twice as many. Hotels and motels are the only forms of travel accorr modation to record more person -nights in 1988 than they di in 1990, accounting for 15% of total person -nights in 1990 an. rising to 2D% by 1988. Campgrounds and trailer parks show ed a steady decline until 19%. Although there was recovery in 1988, their usage was still over 22% below th 1980 level. The Yuppy generation may have shown it preference: hotel comfort over campground economy. With market analysts making widespread predictions r an economic slowdown in the 1990s, $.ravel industry expert will be keeping a close eye on the business tray barometer. 1 Give A Gift That Lasts All Year! 1 A year's subscription to one of these newspapers 1 1 SCARBOROUGH AGINCOURT WEST MILL no ws news news CHECK THE NORTH YORK EAST END5�4 1 Rene ONE YOU WANT news news S New Wal 1 Send $12 cheque, money order or VISA number (plus expiry date) to: Watson Publishing Company Limited 150 Milner Ave-, Unit 35 Scarborough, Ont.

May 2, 1990 Bill Watt's Worlds HOT SUMMER Considering the latter day vagaries of our climate -blame it on free trade like everything else - one cannot presume conti- nuing hot or even warm weather for the upcoming summer. One can though, anticipate, even salivate over the hot list of attrac- tions lined up for The O'Keefe. Opening on May 29th will be the Cole Porter classic ".Anything Goes" starring Mitzi Gaynor as -wait for it - Reno Sweeney, the role originally played by the redoubtable Ethel Mer- man. This will be, we believe, the first live production of it in Toronto since Melody Fair presented it in the ear- ly fifties. It was an in the round production at the old Mutual Street Arena and starred Iggie Wolfington. To be honest in recollec- tion, it wasn't a landmark accomplishment but we well recall being thrilled by the score. And, why not? One is lucky to have more than a half dozen or so melodies in scores by An- drew Lloyd Webber or Stephen Sondheim for ex- ample but Cole Porter wrote seventeen songs for Anything Goes. Seventeen! Among them are 1 Get A Kick Out Of You, You're the Top, Easy to Love, Friendship, It's Delovely, All Through the Night tour personal favourite) Anything Goes, and Blow, Gabriel, Blow. Musicals Like Anything Goes are simply not being written anymore and one should jump at the oppor- tunity to see one when it comes along. Even a mediocre cast can make "Anything Goes" en- joyable but a cast headed by the gorgeous Mitzi Gaynor, who is now clearly the successor to the late Vera Ellen, ensures an evening of sheer theatrical CAKES AND HAND -MADE CHOCOLATES Made fresh dally wtth pun whipping cream r k- 1085 Bellamy Rd.

John Davidson stars in Oklahoma another classic musical of the American stage. The score is well known to all and need not be mentioned here. What might not be so well known however is the fact that John Davidson is an ex- cellent singer. Over the years one has come to associate Mr. D. with television talk and game shows forgetting that he began his career as a singer -the New Christie Minstrels as we recall -and in fact should be regarded as a singer who doubles as a television host rather than a TV host who sings. Should be a good show. From Aug. 7th until Aug. 12th the presentation will be Andrew Lloyd Webber's "Jesus Christ. Superstar". We stand by our earlier in- timation that Mr. Webber is not as fine a composer as were Cole Porter and Richard Rodgers but his talent is none the less for- midable. Jesus Christ Superstar is one of his earlier works with Tim Rice and was considered quite controversial when first presented. It was and remains a powerful work well deserv- ing of one's custom.

The season will start on Oct. 4 with the light- hearted musical "The Boy Friend", followed by the hilarious "Cactus Flower'. in January, the suspense thriller "Angel Street" (Gaslight) in March and the thoughtful and funny "Butterflies are Free" in Tevye. There are those who maintain that he plays the role better than Zero Mostel who created it. We have no intention of being drawn into the com- parable merits of each. We know only that Topol is an excellent singer performer and we look forward to see- ing him in Fiddler on the Roof. One wouldn't be surpris- ed to hear of even more works being sandwiched in between those of this blockbuster quartet but even if there are not, it's going to be a great, hot summer at The O'Keefe. NIGHTS OUT: Old buddy Hank Van Steenwyk sends along word of Eleganra '90. This is an evening of fine entertain- ment being presented in aid of The Mississauga Hospital Foundation. To be held in the Galaxy Ballroom of the Constella- tion Hotel of fine food will be complemented by the entertainment talents of Henry Cuesta and his or- chestra, vocalist Enzo Gusman, pianist John Ar- pin, songstress Janice Regan, Tim Allan and Dr. McJazz better known perhaps as Mississauga Hospital's Dr. Mike Walmsley. Master of Ceremonies will be Jim Paulson who just keeps getting better all the time. We consider his speaking voice to be one of the best on radio. Certainly it's the most underrated. We're a little late with the advice of Ek%anza '90 because of the press of other commitments. The event takes place tomor- row evening and so tickets might now be scarce but you can try calling Peggy Clark at 568-1451 or the Hospital Foundation at 848-7575. Champagne reception is at 6:30 and dinner begins at 7:30. Oh, and one of the door prizes is a Cruise for Two in the Caribbean. Good luck. Award shows are very definitely now big business but it wasn't always so. Time was when awards presentations were for en- trants and well wishers on- ly. This is still the case with the Big Country Awards as presented by RPM Magazine, the bible of the Canadian recording in- dustry. At The Big Country Awards there is no enter- tainment. There is a recep- tion, dinner and award presentations made after dinner. The event is designed as an industry get together and is a good opportunity for the movers and shakers to get together socially. Great people watching too. This year's presentation Announce June. Every show will run three consecutive weekends with extra Sun- day matinees for "The Boy Friend". Subscriptions are new available through the box office at a cost of xis for the 4 -show series. Single tickets for each individual show are now available as will be on Sun. May 27th in the Park Ballroom at The Inn on the Park. Cocktails are at 7 p.m. and dinner at S. Dress is to be elegant but not black tie. Some tickets are available for well wisher•s and friends but there most definitely will be no door admission. Tickets are $100 but that cost is all inclusive. There are no extra costs for park- ing. coat checking, dinner wine or tips. Bit of a bargoon actually. Contact RPM before May 25th for tickets. Shall we see you there? AFTERNOON DELIGHTS: This Sunday's Classical Cabaret features Odette BeauprE, Janet MacEwen and Ricardo Keens - Douglas who is being billed as a performer presenting "a newly relevant and meaningful artform- singing with a difference". Yeah, and he's a great hoofer too as we recall with Pleasure after having seen him in the Limelight Din- ner Theatre production of Sophisticated Ladies. Perhaps some will recall the marvellous choir that accompanied Rita MacNeil at last year's Juno Awards. The choir is called The Men of the Deeps and is com- prised of working and retired coal miners of Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia. They are appearing this Sunday afternoon at Massey Hall. Classical Cabaret at the George Ig- natieff Theatre starts at 3 P.m. The Men of the Deeps concert begins at 2 p.m. Make your choice. BILLY D. KIDD'S NOTEBOOK: Dirty Little Nipper Records ( love that name!) advise that Dr. Limbo is returning to Toronto after a seven year absence. Honestly, we didn't know he was gone. Heck, let's ad- mit we've never heard of him.

IN PRINT: Catch, A Major League Life by Erne Whitt with Greg Cable is now available in soft cover through Fawcett/Crest. Although Ernie is no longer with the Blue Jays it's pret- ty well understood that he will return when his play- ing days are over. Till then we suggest that his fans will enjoy this casual, almost off hand story of his baseball life. We found particular en- joyment in seeing the names of early Blue Jay players some of whom we had almost. forgotten. Nice, too, to realize that Ernie Whitt is a man who loves what he does for a liv- ing, surely some kind of a blessing for any man. Catch is probably not big league reading but it's great fun, Catch it. FAST EXIT: "Perfect freedom is reserved for the man who lives by his own work and in that work does what be wants to do."

The average mill rate increase for the six municipalities -within Metro Toronto is 9.5%, well below the in- crease applied in 1989. The $651 million budget of the MSSB, the largest school board in Canada, was approved for pro- grams that serve in excess of 102,000 students in 228 schools.

"The government in- creased the grants to our school board by 4 percent and at the same time man- dated pay equity and a payroll health tax that will cost the board an addi- tional $8 million," said Clune. Bill 64, which was ap- proved by the Province last fall, provides separate school boards with access to some corporate assess- ment. The net $4 million that the board will receive from corporate assessment offers little financial relief, said Clune. "The monies have not created an equitable situation that will help us deal with the $20 million deficit from 1969. This deficit must be ab- sorbed in subsequent years. " More than 500 parents, teachers and staff attended the eight-hour meeting. "All trustees in our board found it extremely difficult to establish the 1990 budget," said Clune. "We listened to the concerns ex- pressed by our ratepayers and acted responsibly to strike a balance between the needs of students and higher taxes. Working together our communities will enhance our excellent school system," he added. YOU COULD EARN UP TO $4800 In 24 Hours! Can you picture yourself making at least 555000 "rs a week, every week?

Metro Area MP's and Cabinet Ministers Respond to Board's Concerns on Pearson Airport In response to the board's recent submissions ( "Aviation Strategy for Southern Ontario", Oct. 19, 1989 and "Short Term Solu- tions to Problems at Pear- son Airport". Dec. 14, 1989), the board has receiv- ed replies from: The Hon. Michael Wilson. PC, MP, Minister of Finance-. Hon. Alan Redway. PC, MP, Minister of State (Housing), Hon. Otto Jelinek. PC, MP Minister of National Revenue: Hon. Bob Kaplan, PC, MP; and Hon. Neil Young. MP.

The government specifically plans to pur- chase five Hercules transports for this purpose. Board Hosts Speech by TTC Chairman Lois Griffin On Mar. 5 the board hosted a luncheon speech by TTC Chairman Lois Griffin on present and future plans for rapid tran- sit in Metro. In her speech the Chair- man called for a renewal to rapid transit and urged that new sources of fumw- ing be found to fund the ex- pansion plans of the 7W. The chairman's comments have been forwarded to the Transportation Committee for review and comment. Federal Pre -budget Brief In a letter dated Jan. 30, 1990, The Hon. Michael Wilson indicated that he would review our submis- sion and ask his depart- ment to provide him with comments on it. Now that the budget has been presented in February, the minister has promised to reply to our submission in greater detail, which we shall review with a view to draf- ting a formal response ("Federal Pre -budget Sub- mission to the Minister of Finance," January 1990). LtravelJ Metro Toronto ... ... On A Budget! by Marilyn Cooper Last summer, our family was determined to have a city vacation - but I was worried about the budget, because cities can be so ex- pensive. Well, we found the answer in Metropolitan Toronto! It provided a perfect getaway, fun for the children - and with a lit- tle planning, was very af- fordable! Accommodation is pro- bably the biggest bite out of the family vacation budget. We found that bed and breakfasts were a good solution. Quaint and com- fortable, a B & B can pro- vide a family atmosphere and very reasonable prices. The owner is usual- ly a font of information on things to see and do, too. And a B & B is a good way to meet some interesting fellow travellers. Travelling around Toron- to is safe and inexpensive with the TTC, the city's public transit system. We had little trouble getting around the subways, and our kids especially liked the bright red streetcars that sail up and down many of the principal streets. What to do on a budget? I enjoyed the fascinating ex- hibits at the Royal Ontario Museum, Canada's largest. The ROM is free on Tuesdays, and every day after 4:30. The well-known Art Gallery of Ontario is also free on Wednesday evenings. And "Art at 110 . Galleries at 80 Spadina", a collection of twenty art galleries which feature both Canadian and Interna- tional art, offers free ad- mission from Tuesday to Saturday. Our whole family really loved the Ontario Science Centre. We spent haus ex- ploring some fascinating hands-on exhibits, and it's not for kids only, although the talks and displays are geared for easy understan- ding. The Science Centre is free on Friday evenings and makes for a pleasant day trip, nestled in a gorgeous green river valley. For something different, we also dropped into the Toronto Sculpture Garden, free of charge every day, from eight a.m. to dusk; it's a unique outdoor collec- tion of artworks, and made a welcome respite from our day -long walking excur- sion. For complete relaxation, what could be better than a stroll through the park? Metro Toronto has plenty of green space for picnics and games. I liked the treed pathways of High Park, but our children preferred the park on Toronto Island, only a short ferry ride from downtown. They particularly enjoyed the sights and sounds of Centreville, a small amuse- ment park on the island. One place not to be miss- ed is Harbourfront, a lWacre waterfront park filled with free or almost - free activity for everyone. Besides a stroll along the water, you can browse the renowned Harbourfront Antique Market, and take in the performances and events - including theatre, dance, crafts, and art - every day. My husband and I took turns with the kids, and, to no one's surprise, I used my free time to go shopp- ing - even if it was only "window shopping"! The fashionable Bloor- Yorkville district was cer- tainly tempting, packed with upscale boutiques and chic little cafes. I also lov- ed the noise and colour of Kensington Market, a neat combination of Portuguese and West Indian hustle and bustle. Toronto is also well- known for its shopping malls; besides the well- known Eaton Centre right downtown, I visited Sher - way Gardens just west of the city, and the Woodbine Centre near the airport. Both were worth the trip. This summer, give yourself a break, without breaking your budget. Our family certainly enjoyed Canada's largest city. There are wonderful restaurants, interesting theatres, and lots to do anytime of the year. And a little planning made it one of the best vacation values around! Where to fund out more about Toronto?

Mav 2,19N THE 'NEWS" POST Page 15 The Spadina Extension: A White Elephant Says Gardner Norman Gardiner, Metro Councillor for North York Centre is concerned that the proposal by the Provin- cial Government to extend the Spadina Subway line along the existing Hydro Right of Way to loop with the Yonge Street line will create few if any benefits other than reducing head - ways along the Yonge- Spadina line. By extending the Spadina transit line northward and linking it to the Yonge St. subway line by using the Hydro Right of Way, the Provincial Government is ineffectively spending the funds which it is allocating for transit improvements. Gardner is concerned that by creating an alignment along the Hydro Right of Way, a "White Elephant" could be created. Instead, the Spadina line should be extended further north to Steeles Ave. In a previous presenta- tion and discussion with the Metropolitan Toronto Priorities and Policy Com- mittee, Provincial Deputy Minister, Gardiner Church stated that higher density residential development would be a requirement in order to justify and support any rapid transit line. As it stands, existing land use along Dufferin Street is primarily light industrial, while residential densities along the hydro right of way corridor are insuffi- cient to justify and support a rapid transit line in this area. In the last few months, the TTC has reported a drop in the level of its rider- ship. In light of these reductions, an emphasis should be placed on in- creasing ridership levels, and by attracting new riders to the TTC. The Pro- vincial Government should be working with Metro and the TTC to achieve this end. $500 million is too much to spend for the sake of ad- ding three more trains to Attention Pet Owners, Free Literature • An instant disc of film for the return of your lost pet las seen on TVP � Please send a self-addressed. - stamped envelope to 12 Sexton Cres.

By pushing further northward and looping across Steeles Ave. the potential for increased ridership from existing higher densities can then be realized. Higher rider- ship levels would then mean lower subsidies for the TTC. An Early Warning System For Metro Pedestrians Metro Chairman Alan Tonks and Commissioner of Transportation Doug Floyd announced last week a public education cam- paign designed to enhance the awareness of the new "flashing" style of pedestrian crossover now being installed throughout Metro Toronto. Dubbed the "Early War- ning System", the new style of crossover is being presented in a unique man- ner. "In an era of mass communications we are us- ing every means possible to reach pedestrians, cyclists, and drivers of all ages," Chairman Tonks said. "By reaching as marry people as possible, the new "flashing" crossovers will have an excellent chance of keeping people safe when they cross the road." The Metro Transporta- tion Department has enlisted the help of the Metropolitan Police Force, including the Auxiliary Police, the Metro Safety Council, and all six local municipalities in Metro for this public education pro- gram. The police will be visiting all of Metro's 700 public and separate schools for their annual Spring Road Safety lectures. A bicycle safety broctmire and poster, Church & Children & M etro Rev. Earl Albrecht and members of his congrega- tion together with children from Dallington Public School assisted :Metro Councillors Maureen Prinsloo, Joan King and Mario Gentile and Metro Transportation Commis- sioner Doug Floyd in the final stages of "Road Beautification" on a traffic island in the Peanut area (Don Mills Rd. north of Sheppard Ave.) on Fri. Apr. 27. This project demonstrates what can be done to enhance streetscaping on Metro Roads in keeping with ef- forts that Metro can under- take to improve the urban environment," said Metro Transportation Committee Chairman Maureen Prinsloo. This initiative was considered as a result of a request to Councillor King from members of the community and Rev. Albrecht's congregation at the nearby Advent Lutheran Church. Show Of Hooking The Ontario Hooking Craft Guild is holding its 24th annual show of tradi- tional hand hooked rugs and wall hangings on Sun. May 13th from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at Victoria Hall, Queen's University, Kingston, Ontario frown 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Admission is $3 and children accompanied by an adult are admitted free. sponsored each year by Petro -Canada for distribu- tion by the police through the schools, has been customized to promote the new style of crossover. in addition, a special 3-1,2 minute video about the new crossovers will be shown to the students. Each student will receive a badge depic- ting a flashing crossover with the slogan "I'm Warn- ing You" emblazoned on it. To reach other major crossover user groups, representatives of the Metro Safety Council and the Auxiliary Police will in- struct senior citizens and pre-school children by us- ing the special video. In ad- dition, utility and tax bills will carry a special notice to all Metro homes. The video will also be distributed to all Metro area cable companies for airing. Billboards and Public Transit Shelters will carry the "Early Warning System" message and will explain the new crossovers to pedestrians and drivers. The public education pro- gram will run through to the end of June. By year end, approx- imately 110 crossovers on Metro's arterial roads will have been converted to the new style of flashing opera- tion. The remaining 56 crossovers will be con- verted in 1991. The local municipalities are under- taking a simultaneous con- version program on their street system over the next three years. Recently, the Ministry of Transportation's North Metro Boundary Transpor- tation Review identified the issue of "the dramatic growth of households in York Region", and future congestion from cross - boundary trips into Metropolitan Toronto. Creating a loop at Metro's northern boundary would reduce the number of cross boundary trips into Metro, and thus reduce traffic con- gestion on Metro's streets. A transit system would then be in place as an alter- native to lure traffic and discourage it from going further into Metro. By pushing northward along Dufferin St. to Steeles Ave. the alignment would also avoid going under the Lord Ross Dam. The cost of tunnelling under the dam would then be avoided, as well as the associated environmental costs of constructing through this area. All in all, the Provincial Government should be spending its monies more wisely than it is proposing. By extending the Spadina and Yonge lines northward to Steeles Avenue, the Pro- vincial Government would be implementing the preferred and most viable of transit options which was recommended by its consultant Thus, public transportation in Metropolitan Toronto would be more effective - more people would then be served, and more people would use the TTC.

"We believe in the Province of New Brunswick that Meech Lake has taken on a symbolic importance par- ticularly in Quebec which goes far beyond its words and phrases and Meech Lake itself. That symbolic importance has become so pronounced and so critical to the future of the Province of Quebec that it has been accepted virtually without question by us and many Canadians that Meech Lake should not be touched as it currently is constituted. And that is why we have proposed this process which does not subtract from Meech Lake, does not re -open Meech Lake but which adds to the substantial accomplishment which the Meech Lake Accord represents." The above quote came from Frank McKenna, Premier of the Province of New Brunswick, at the first meeting of the Special Committee of the House of Commons studying the companion resolution to the Meech Lake Accord. Although Premier McKenna believes that there must be amend- ments added to Meech through a companion resolution, he assured committee members of his belief that Meech Lake, as it stands, %rill be a positive step for Canada. In addition, four constitutional experts appeared before the committee. These experts were adamant that Meech must be passed and felt that the political uncertainty that is being created could drive foreign investors away. They also praised Premier McKenna for his constructive efforts to bridge the Meech impasse. It is my belief that the Meech Lake Constitutional Accord will strengthen Canada by reinforcing the principles of federalism. Simultaneously. Meech Lake will open up the process of Constitutional development, allowing Canada to remain flexible to future social, technological and political realities. However, no Constitution or accord is perfect. The fact that Mr. Mulroney has called on the government to form a Special Committee of the House of Commons to study the companion resolution to the Meech Lake Accord demonstrates that this government is %filling to be flexible, even though the original Accord had previously received approval by all ten provinces. If you would like a copy of the companion resolution or Meech Lake itself, please contact my constituency office at 686-%432.
