Page 2 THE NEWS/POST Wed. November 21, 1990 Opinion a page for expression for you and us Recession Dialogue This Economic Forecast, is produced by CT Investment Counsel Inc., a subsidiary of Canada Trust, and offers an in- depth examination of major sectors of the Canadian economy for the upcoming quarter. Highlights include Over iew A massive build-up of business and household debt has been on a collision course with Mr. Crow's monetary policy for some time and debt problems are now• coming to a head. Bankruptcies are spreading rapidly. Canada is in a balance sheet recession which may be difficult to pull out of. The current recession could rival the 1981-82 downturn in length if the C.S. experiences an oil shock recession in 1991 or if Canadian inflation pressures do not subside. Canadian CPi inflation is forecast to increase by almost two percentage points in 1941 despite a lengthy weakness in demand. As a result. further Bank of Canada easing is like- ly to he too little too late. Personal Consumption Consumer confidence is already down sharply and more declines are expected as a result of surging gasoline prices and the initial psychological effect of the GST. Residential Construction Residential construction faces a sharp decline in 1991 as a result of Mr. Crow's high interest rate policies. Housing de- mand in Ontario has already fallen to levels well below those -seen in 1962. Business investment The end of the resource development capital spending boom will influence capital spending in Canada for a number of years. Some such projects are still under con- struction but low industry operating rates are like] to result in cancellations for projects where construction has not vet started. Labour Ntarkets Canada's unemployment rate is forecast to increase sharply this coming winter. Job losses are expected to spread into the const rust ion workf ome an d into the services industry in 1991. Exchange Rate The Canadian C.S. dollar exchange rate, at current ievels, has taken away the potential benefits promised by the Free Trade agreement and threatens the longer term viability of Canadian manufacturing. Here and There National Commercial Real Estate Moderating interest rates in 1991 should encourage modest amounts of leasing and sales in Canada's commer- ctal real estate market, reports the Roval LePage 1991 Market Survey. The survey says this should help maintain realistic price levels for office. industrial and retail pro- duct. Even so. cautions the survey. purchasing and leasing volumes in some centres could pertorm below expeoation should the Canadian recession worsen beyond current pro- }ec•t ions. A survey of eight Canadian business centres indicates that commercial real estate sales and leasing acti%ity early in 1991 will largely be governed by the direction of interest rates and by concern over the Federal Government's Goods and Services Tax. As the year progresses, and as real estate participants obtain a better reading of the econom- my. it is projected that sales and leasing volumes will stablize in most centres. The relative stability of 1991's commercial markets will present some varied and interesting opportunities in specific sectors. Statistical data from each of the eight of- fice centres suggests that more than 13 million sq. ft. of of- fice space will be absorbed in 1991. That's not a record high, bui ii is indicativeofsustained. albeit moderating. business confidence.

Letter To The Editor About Petro -Canada in 1980 the Conservative government of the day attemp- ted to sell the publicih•-oumed oil company, Petro -Canada. The government went to the people of Canada in an elect ion to seek a mandate to privatize the company, and lost. Now, ten years later, the Conservative government has again announced that it intends to privatize Petro -Canada. This time however, it has not bothered loconsult the people of i he count ry about i he sale. Petro Canada was created in 1975 to establish a major Canadian presence in the oil and gas industry. It was established to operate alongside the subsidiaries of foreign controlled multinationals that dominated Canada's oil in- dust ry. Petro -Canada's mandate was threefold: it was to provide secuniy of supply as an insurance against an uncertain ful ure: it was to provide a "window" on the industry by ac- ting as a catalyst in the development of risky, frontier resources: and it was to increase Canadian control in the oil and gas industry by entering into joint venture agreements with Canadian -owned companies for which funding for ex- ploration would otherwise be out of reach. Liberal Members of Parliament believe that Petro - Canada has just as imporant a role to play in the oil in- dmory today as it did when the company was created. Re- cent (igur•es show that Canadian ownership of the entire energy industry has dropped to 44.3 percent, and Canadian control of the exploration and development sector has declined to 38 percent from 45 percent in 1987. The biggest losers in the privatization of PeimC:anada will be existing shareholders - the taxpayers of Canada. Since 197'5 Canadians have invested more than $4 billion in- to the company. Canadian taxpayers have financed a string of aquisitions that have not only increased Petro -Canada's crude oil and gas reserves, but have also made the com- pany the second largest peimleurn refiner and retailer in Canada. A privatized Petro -Canada will serve the interests of the shareholder in search of profits. This search for profits could override all other considerations including energy self-sufficiency and security of supply. Canadians now find themselves threatened at the gas pumps and were it not for Pei ro-Canada (even with the "operate for profit" mandate it got from the Conservative government in 1984) Cana- dians would find themselves almost wholly at the mercy of the foreign multinationals. The current privatization in- itiative should be buried quickly. Derek Lee. M.P.

Letter To The Editor Mulroney's Notorious Dictatorship in speaking about the efforts of the Senate to reject the goods and services tax (GST), Prime Minister Brian Mulroney claimed that "Democracy is at stake and it is a fundamental question• etc, etc, etc.' it is a factual statement, but is also one that succeeds in pointing the accusing finger at Mulroney rather than at the Senate of his dictatorial behavior in forcing the Tory MPs to follow his own doctrine blindly. This in effect is what he has done in forcing the passage of the GST through the House of Commons and stacking the Senate with two -dozen new Senators to frustrate the reveal- ed will of the large majority of Canadians, ruthlessly dragg- ing her Majesty the Queen into Canadian politics on what is a questionable situation involving the appointment of the final 8 senators. This course of action is extremely undemocratic, im- moral of not illegal) and lacks common sense. The Senate is not there for the sole purpose of passing the GST or to support the Prime Minister's position constitutionally: it is there for Canada. Therefore, the appointment and use of the merely appointed Senators for what amounts to purely political motives can't be justified. it constitutes an abuse of power and tarnishes the image of the Senate and the na- tion: a step which will dramatically backfire. Then, is it anti -democratic or illegal for the unelected Senate to block the GST'' it certainly is not, as it is not a matter of elected or unelected Senate, nor is it a question of what the primary intention of the Senate was. It is a matter of constitutional legality. If a bill is to be passed through the Senate, it is the business of that Senate to make a decision. This is especially so when Mulroney has gone to the ex- treme limit in the use of the never -before -used Section 26 of the British North America Act to ram through the offensive and confusing GST. in this case, the Senate has every right and obligation to defeat this bill by every available means. Furthermore, he has said that he has not only the right but obligation to break the deadlock. But, isn't it true that 'breaking the deadlock' here means 'breaking the will of the people', when W% of Canadians oppose it'. Is he so in- sensitive to what's happening in this country' iMrtarwe Minister of Quebec resigned: more small businesses are be- ing closed for fear of the monstrous tax: the Elstow village in Saskatchewan declared itself a GST -free zone: B.C. is to fight a court battle, to name a few). For the past decade, i have been actively involved in the fight for democracy and human rights in my native country and witnessed several dictatorial regimes toppled as a result of outright confrontations with the people and unilateral passage of certain bills in total disregard of op- position by the majority of the people. One good example in Canada is that of the Peterson government wtuLh in 1989 passed the Sunday shopping legislation unilaterally, despite strong opposition from the minority parties and all sectors of the society including churches, businesses, citizens' groups and labor unions. This has presumably played a decisive role in the defeat of the Liberals and the landslide victory of the NT►P in the On- tario provincial election held on Sept. 6 of this year. At this juncture, Federal Liberals and NDP and pro- vinces should fight together to win the anti -GST battle and to demonstrate to Canadians that democracy prevails over a dictatorship in Canada, if Canada is truly a democratic count ry. As an alternative to the GST, a much simpler and improv- ed tax system like 'The Single Tax' as proposed by M.P. Dennis Mills would be fair to all Canadians. This will also reduce significantly the heavy paperwork, bureaucracy and waste of a tremendous amount of taxpayer's money needed to implement the present tax system or the hated GST.

November 21, 1990 Bill Watt's Worlds ON STAGE: It has been recorded, possibly apocryphally, that Alexander Woolcott was discovered weeping with emotion in a laneway beside the theatre after the opening performance of Thornton Wilder's Our Town. When asked if his review would be favourable, he angrily retorted that it would not: that the play was shoddy. This from a man weeping with emotion. At the conclusion of Young Man With a Horn. Virgil Thomson, with tears streaming down his face. declared "What a perfectly dreadful film!". Your correspondent dreams not of inclusion in such company but does claim a companionship of confusion after viewing The Heidi Chronicles now playing at the Royal Alex. We cannot sav that we did not enjoy it. there is much in it for some and we are cognizant of that. To say we enjoyed it, would not be correct either. About the only thing that we can muster up to say with con- fidence is that we most cer- tainly did not feel enter- tained by it. As the title implies and briefly stated. The Heidi Chronicles is the story of one Heidi Holland first seen as a young college student in 1965 through to her emergence as a -Awnan of substance today. We suspect that Heidi Holland is the alter ego of the playwright Wendy Wasserstein. Heidi is a feminist though not sapphic, definitely not Sapphic, and her story ent- wines 'round the girl friends of her youth and two men about whom, more later. If one detects a more than passing similarity to the works of Mary- McCar- thy, join us. That's not bad you understand but while Miss McCarthy's writings are expository, this work of Miss Wasserstein seems almost of a cathartic nature and en fin, one -this one in any case -feels con- strained to ask who cares? There are some amusing vignettes of the sixties life style in America but the amusement is more for those who are experiencing them for the first time rather than those like us who lived through them. while raising a family we might add. The addenda is in reference to the final scene in which Heidi has adopted a baby -she's not married. of course, and is seen gent- ly cradling the child -a girl. of course -while crooning "You Send Me". A lovely scene it is and yet our morality could not accept it. Not really a good play in our opinion but we were KALLY" S MID -WEEK DINNER SPECIALS Served MON.-Thurs. From 4 m.

WooIcott Thomson anyone? In the Heidi role. Nancy Palk is all that the role demands and more. She is authoritative in her public utterances, a tad unsure of herself in private, feminine in her tenderness, something other than feminine when necessary making her way in a world that sometimes seems to be stacked against her. Tanya Jacobs is amusing as her principal long time girl friend and her transformation from more or less shy school girl to American plastic executive is admirable. The two men in her life are a gay baby doctor ( that's a gay doctor who works with babies, not a doctor who works with gay babies. Miss Wasserstein's writing style must be im- pacting on us') and an op- portunistic little weasel of an editor who manages to have some kind of charm. probably because of his ad- mission of what he is. The former is played with sardonic wit by Joseph Ziegler and the lat- ter with disciplined humour by Michael Riley. Bill Glassco directs with Ins usual flash and draws fine performances out of the balance of the cast. Mariam Bernstein, Terri Cherniak. Martine Friesen, Barclay Hope and Mana Ricossa. The Heidi Chronicles must be good. because of its success but we must leave it up to each viewer to make his or her own determination. You will en- joy the players and you will enjoy the production values. Will you be enter- tained? Let us know.

In a work such as this, one realizes once again the strength that The National has within itself. Sixteen dancers appear in the work and while much of it calls for de facto corps perfor- mance, virtually each dancer is a large or small P. principal. Among others, Gizella Witkowsky is stately, Pamela Place is gorgeous and Sally -Anne Hickin is noteworthy. Turning to the men. Ray- mond Smith was in his usual fine form and Peter Ottmann continues to be essence of elegance. The lead dancers were Kimberley Glasco and Rex Harrington. In as much as this ballet was new to tis, much of our attention was given to the choreography rather than its execution and so we will defer com- ment on the two other than to comment that Mr. Harr- ington continues to sur- prise and please with his strength. The Leaves Are Fading is a welcome addition to the company's repertoire and we look forward with pleasure to repeat view- iqp• One is uh, less than en- thusiastic about the second work. Steptext, choreographed by William Forsythe to the music of Bach seems little more than an exercise in erotic semaphore for the deaf and dumb. One woman and three men dressed in black and red perform a series of moves that we are told challenge the traditional boundaries between the au- dience and the dancers. We think that means an au- dience must resist the challenge simply to call out "Get on with it"' Sarah Great, Rex Harr- ington, Serge Lavoie and Peter Ottmann were the dancers and one will not say that they were wasted. They did their excellent best to make something out of a work that possibly aspires to be like de Valois' Checkmate but in fact is more like Robbins' West Side Story . . with obscene gestures yet! It was their talent that in- spired the comment of our companion.. "I didn't like it except for the dancing". How we wish we had such brevity of expression. All was well, however, with the presentation of the final work of the evening. Etudes is not a story ballet. Its strength is in its presentation of everything that ballet should be; fine music, beautiful women and handsome men dancing -really dancing - ensemble and solo. Etudes has all that and more. It has also a striking stage design that some might call Liberace kitsch but which audiences love. The principals were Mar- tine Lamy, Raymond Smith and Jeremy Ran- som. Each impressed, so much so that one is hard pressed to assess in- dividual excellence. When excellence is an establish- ed norm, further comment risks superfluity. The corps excelled in routines right out of Busby Berkeley while never giv- Stars Grace Posluns Stage The Leah Posluns Theatre has announced that two dynamite per- formers will be on stage from Nov. 22 until Dec. 16. Donna Theordore starring in "The Judy Garland Years" from Nov. 22 until Dec. 3 and "An Evening with Julie Budd" takes the stage from Dec. 5 until Dec. 16. Donna Theodore, has a wide range of professional experience that has taken her to Broadway, televi- sion, and the concert stage. She is a winner of a Theater World Award Drama Desk Award and a Tony Award nomination for her role as "Annie" in Shenandoah. She is a multi -talented and versatile performer who has worked with Anthony Quinn in "Zorba". Don Rickles. Bob Hope and has had more than fifty ap- pearances on Johnny Car- son's Tonight Show. Julie Budd launched her career at twelve when she entered a hotel talent con- test on a dare. Herb Berns- tein, a successful com- poser/arranger was a guest and realized that Julie had a superior voice and stage presence. From there she moved rapidly to a glittering nightclub act, numerous sell-out con- certs, and three albums. Julie Budd worked on the major motion picture "The Devil and Max Devlin", starring BUI Cosby and Elliott Gould. Julie record- ed the title song and sound- track for the film. It was on this film that she met Mar- vin Hamlisch and a year later starred in his musical comedy "They're Playing Our Song".

Spectacular perfor- mances of Capriccio Espagnol and the Espana Rhapsody truly treated the audience to the rhythms of Spain. ing the impression that this is a ballet, not Broadway. The Girls in White and The Girls in Black were all equally beautiful and the men of the corps might well have qualified for the Potsdam Giants. Of course. they're not all that big but the impression they give is that of palpable muscular perfection. Etudes is a fine and fit- ting ending to an evening and season of ballet, surely the finest of the performing arts. ON SCREEN: It'd be easy to dismiss Home Al" (2Dth Century Fox) as simply another holiday exploitation flick, easy but not fair. In truth, Home Alone is piffle but it's pleasant pif- fle, made so by some good performances. By now, you will know the story line.

This year the evening is en- titled "A Joyful Noise". Once again, the Scar- borough Youth Choir will be joining to help welcome the Christmas season.

After a series of ridiculous but hilarious misadventures there is a happy ending and only a curmudgeon could leave the theatre without a vagrant tear of emotion or laughter. Now, about those perfor- mances. The young lad is played by Macaulay Culkin, a nephew of Bonnie Bedelia, in standard cute kid fashion. His mother is played by Catherine O'Hara and his father by John Heard, who looks a lit- tle like an undebauched Bruce Wills. Good perfor- mances in standard roles. John Candy gives a vir- tual cameo as the leader of a polka band but the real comic relief comes from Joe Pesci and Daniel Stern as a pair of bumbling house robbers. Daniel Stern in par- ticular is hilarious, possibly because he bears more than a passing (Continued on Page 8) In its 14th.season 199491 A Moon For The Misgotten by Eugene O'Neill Designed and directed by L.

The featured work, an anonymous 16th century Magnificat, alternates plainsong with polyphony, and weaves German Christmas carols into the polyphonic texture. The Toronto Camerata, founded and directed by Arthur Wenk, specializes in unaccompanied choral music ranging from Bach to Bartok, from plainsong to Stravinsky. The group takes its name from the Florentine Camerata of the 17th century, also a group of amateur and profes- sional musicians interested in the relationship between poetry and music. Dr. Wenk brings to choral conducting a distinguished background as a teacher, performer and scholar, and has published several books on the relationships between music and the other arts, as well as founding and directing semi-professional chorales in Canada and the U.S. Support Your Local Charity ywffMOMUZZO � Community Sports Notes Soviet Players Win All 6 Matches The Soviet players won all six matches in the inter- national youth badminton tournament between the Russian National Junior Badminton Team and the Toronto High Performance Centre.

By locating regional of- fices in strategic centres Metro Toronto Board of Trade Recent Policy Submissions Workers' Compensation Appeals Tribunal A report of The Coopers k Lybrand Consulting Group, dated April 20, 1990 deals with the appeals pro- cess of the Workers' Com- pensation Appeal Tribunal (WCAT). Contrary to the Report's recommenda- tions, the board's Oct. 1, 1990 submission to the On- tario Ministry of Labour advises that employers should continue to stand on an equal footing with workers at WCAT hear- ings. The board is also con- cerned with the Report's failure to recognize the ex- istence of Schedule 2 employers in their com- ments. Lastly, the Report refers to the debate bet- ween the Workers' Com- pensation Board ( WCB ) and the WCAT as to who has the final say in matters of policy and the general law of the Workers' Com- pensation Act. The board believes it im- portant that the WCB, the administrator of the Act, should have the final say. PENSIONS Deadline for Filing Pension Plan Amendments in Quebec The deadline for filing amendments to pension Marts registered in Quebec is set at Dec. 31. 1990, one year in advance of similar deadlines in Ontario and at the federal level. As this tight deadline will cause compliance pro- blems for Ontario employers who also have plans registered in Quebec, the board recommends, in its September 13. 1990 sub- mission ubmission to Quebec % irustere de la Securite, a one-year delay in the filing deadline. Surplus Pension Assets in Quebec. The Quebec pension authorities have recently decided that "the surplus in a pension plan. regardless of that plan's provisions to the contrary, does not belong to the employer." In a second submission to Quebec Ministere de la Securite ( September 13, 1990). The board claims that this deci- sion, along with other new rules and provisions con- cerning the treatment of pension surplus in Quebec are "inequitable and will have a negative effect on the provision of retirement income to Quebec employees". The board urges the Quebec government to reconsider its position with respect to the use of surplus assets, so as to avoid Ontario's experience where complex rule on surplus usage is presently leading to the wind-up of approximately 2,(M plans. completed in early 1991 that include expansion to the exhibition buildings and parking lot.

But lots of ambiance. A Christmas feeling. The temperature is a breezy 85 degrees and the air is sweet. Deep red Poinsettias frame the green hedges and the tiny green leaves of the Euphobia turn white, sprinkling pretty dots of -snow" on gardens everywhere. Christmas fever takes hold in mid-November when, traditionally. Grand- mother takes out the tins of dried fruit which she put to soak in white overproof rum from the previous year, to create her famous dark rich plum puddings and cakes. The sound of chopping - raisins, cherries and other fruits - reverberates through the house. The beady smell of fruits. well preserved in a decadent mixture of Jamaican rum and red wine emanate from the kitchen, as they are poured into cake batters and sweetened with brown sugar and molasses. After the cakes are bak- ed and stored. every so often a bit more num will be added and the best ones are those aged for months. Some are even stored for years. Another unmistakable sign of Christmas is the sweet yet tart and spicy flavour of sorrel, Jamaica's official, garnet coloured, Christmas chink. Sorrel can be stored in- definitely, and like a fine wine, its flavour improves with age. Ginger and pimento seeds ( allspice ) are added to the mixture as it boils and then it's cooled, stained, sweetened with sugar and flavoured with rum. Curried goat, baked ham, escoveitched fish (seasoned fried fish topped with a lightly cooked mix- ture of vinegar, pimento seeds, onions and hot Scotch bonnet pepper), rice and gungo peas are but a few of the mouthwatering holiday dishes that com- bine to create a traditional Jamaican Christmas feast.

Men, women and children set out the night before Christmas Eve on the long trek to the market, carrying an array of produce and treats to be sold on Christmas eve. Men would carry cured white yams, cassava, potatoes, Cocos and specially prepared tins of wet sugar. The sugar would then be sold to women who flavour it with ginger and nutmeg and tie it in banana leaves until it becomes hard, creating a special Christmas treat for children known as "Sugar Head". Special chocolates, prepared from dried and spiced cocoa pods were also sold. These would be grated into hot milk and sweetened with sugar to create a heavenly drink known as "chocolate tea". The Grand Market abounded with cassava cakes, sweet potato and cornmeal pone (similar to polenta), sweet potato and cornmeal puddings, and "duckuneo" or "blue drawers" (a mixture of sweetened and spiced dried grated corn, wrapped in banana leaves and boiled). In Kingston, King Street would be lined with women presiding over colourful glass cases of sweets and smiling children would pay "quattie" or "pen -ha - penny" (one -and -a -half pence) to "tru-pence" ( three pence) for an assort - ment. One of the most popular booths was the "Music Man". Here you could buy har- monicas, known as "mouth organs" and an assortment of drums. People gather and dance, and the children hope to find a mouth organ among their gifts the next day. As night falls, the stalls were cleared and the John Canoe dancers would per- form to a backdrop of fire works. The tradition of John Canoe dates as far back as the 17th century when the dancers performed in the streets for food and money. For weeks before Grand Market, children in the neral parishes would fall asleep to the beat of the drums of the John Canoe dancers as they practiced at night. The dance, still performed today, com- bines a fantastic mix of African dance with Euro- pean masquerade. Dancers wear elaborate costumes which depict animal characters. The leader, John Canoe, wearing a cow's tail, horns and a visor mask with boar tusks, performs in an acrobatic manner. He car- ries a sword and is always followed by a large crowd. Many characters dress like members of European Courts complete with a King and Queen, and per- form to tunes played on fifes, drums, a banjo and Wed.

How will the proposed GST affect prices? A: The outgoing Federal Sales Tax (FST) is now part of the price of new cars. So, while they will be fully taxed at 7% in 1991, the expected effect of replacing the FST with the GST on the average $22,000 mid-size car is a reduction of around $850. Q: My son has figured out it will cost $50C in lumber to build a dock at ouT cottage if he bought it now. Hew much will that lumber cost with the proposed GST? A: You can expect to pay about $512 for that same amount of lumber for personal use based solely on the changeover from the FST to the GST: Q: I know the proposed GST won't apply to city bus fares but I take the commuter train to work. Will I have to pay GST? A: No. Daily commuter trains are considered a municipal transit service, so fares are exempt from GST.
