Page 'L THE NEWS POST Wed. Januar-..30, 1991 Opinion a page for expression for you and us Mainstream Canada Dr. Jelinek and Mr. Hide BY Terre• O'Shaughnessv The Goods and Services Tax, as most Canadians now know, is almost a month old. And if you follow the gov- ernment's line of thinking, we're all getting used to the idea by now. Not quite. As businesses and consumers are daily reporting, a more accurate picture of the GST shows a great deal of con- fusion and anger. A number of consumers, for examples are upset with the tax and refusing to pay the GST. Revenue Canada, responsible for the transitional mess, recently issued this response: "It's no skin off the govern- ment's nose if consumers don't pay, because the law• forces busi- nesses to pay the tax on the goods and services they sell. The thing people have to remember if they refuse to pay the GST is they arc only hurling the businesses—they air• nes hurt- ing the government at all." According to John Bulloch, president of the Canadian Federation of Independent Business, this is just another example of the government's insensitivity. "The government's indif- ferent• inscrsitive attitude is unforgivable at a time when small businesses need as much support as possible to imple- ment this new tax; a tax that was vehemently opposed by small business and:onsumcrs, Bulloch said. Showing his customary lack of support, Revenue `tinister Otto Jclinek stated early in the new year, "smaller businesses that waited until the I Ith hour to get ready for the GST got caught with their pants down." "Jelinek's remark was un- fairl% aimed at business people who don't have the luxur-, of computer departments, extra staff and accountants to cope with a federal tax imposed over nine different provincial taxes„ " AGRI-FOOD QUIZ Bulloch said. "It was very in- sensitive and very crude—these are people going around the clock trying to figure out the new system," Bulloch said. Bulloch points out that the GST represents the most mam- moth fiscal change since federal income tax was introduced in 1917. While the business com- munity struggles to comply with the confusing new tax, Jelinek appeared on television, pro- claiming the GST will sell itself and won't be an issue in six months or the next federal election. The GST will sell itself!! Ckar evidence indicates other- wise- More than 14,000 calls per day were at least initially corning in to the federal govern- mmt's GST consumer informa- tion office. "Tire worst chaos is corning from the different treatment of the GST and the provincial sales tax (except Alberta) at the cash register." Bulloch added. "Some provinces allow vendors to include both taxes in the price. others want both taxes shown on the cash register taps Some provinces apply their tax on top of the GST and others don't. The cash register compa- nies are going crazy. „ Despite the continuous claims by Jelinek that every- thing is just ducky with the GST, he has at least on four occasions either directly re- fused, or pulled out at the last minute on appearing with CFIB spokespersons in media inter- . im,% on this issue. It seems that he wants to be the good doctor in trying to assure the public that the implementation of the GST is in healthy shape- while at the same time hiding in the woods when asked to respond publicly with officials from our small business organization w ho differ with his claims. The Dr. Jelinek and Nir. Hide rou- tine is wearing mighty thin. CF18 Fs.twe Somce 9. How many litres of maple sap must be collected to pro- duce a single litre of maple syrup: 30, 40, or 50?

Letter To The Editor Mulroney Has To Go Dear Editor: I am a member of a non-political group of Canadians from across Canada that are in the process of impeaching Brian Mulroney under section 220 and 221 of the criminal code. He has shown nothing but contempt for this nation's heritage and its people by making a mockery of our laws and our traditions. We are saying enough is enough he has to go. Democracy has become a thing of the past in Canada; we are now living in a legalized dictatorship and Mulroney now controls every segment of our society including the press. This letter will be sent to every newspaper in Canada (over 800) less than 200 will have the courage to go against him and print it. There is not enough money for the things that Canadians consider to be important, like the environment. C.B.C. etc. but there is always enough money for what Mulroney wants. He now has 64 R.C.M.P. body guards, Trudeau had 14. It takes roughly 300 people around Mulroney to run this enation, he has 591, the list is endless. Life for most Cana- dians is at the best of titres a struggle, and if we were living in a democratic society it would be unthinkable that a Cana- dian Prime Minister would deliberately cause millions of Canadians to suffer through the loss of their jobs, homes, farms, and businesses by making a made in Canada reces- sion. If it was not for food banks every night nearly half a trillion Canadian children would go to bed hungry. This is a national disgrace. Are we to go back to the days of Charles Dickens. are there no work houses, are there no prisons. Are There No Food Banks. When we ask. why are you doing this to the people, his reply is always the same, "trust me, I know what is best for Canada". This man's contempt and his callous disregard for the well being of the common people must not be allow- ed to continue. lire time has come for impeachment, but we will need your help if we are to succeed with the task that is before us. We will need by June 8'91 at least 1 million signatures on our petitions. I am asking you today to support us ( please don't make excuses why you can't) with your voice, purse. and pen by writing to me for petitions at Box 1473 Peter- borough. Ont. K9J 7H7. The time for cursing the darkness (Mutltoney's dictatorship) is now over. It is time to light a candle for democracy. Oh Canada We Stand On Guard For Thee. Sincerely Join Welham, Campaign director R.

They will study the Review and plan to announce their responses to its recom merdat ions next month. "This government wants to ensure the safety and well- being of all children and voWh placed outside their own homes." says Mrs. Akande. "The Review's recornmenda- IiorLs could be extremely useful as we plan." The Review was established by Ontario's former Liberal government in response to serious allegations of physical, sexual and emotional abuse of children in training schools in the I%os. !leading the Review team was Joanne Camp - W1. chairman of the lvicial Assistance Review Board. STATFACTS In the field of social science professionals 'which ex- cludes university professors who are listed as teachers). Statistics Canada figures show substantial employment gains by women. They more than doubled their representa- tion ion in this area in less than a decade. Women occupied 57% of all social science jobs by 1989. The general clerical occupations, one of the areas where women first carved out careers in the labour force, have cont inued to const itute by far the largest single job field for women. Just over 30% of all working women were in clerical jobs in 1989. Statistics Canada figures show, down slightly from 34% in 1962. More than 9D% of all clerical worker- in Canada in 1989 were women.

The warning signs of lung disease are: chronic cough, shortness of breath, chronic phlegm production, wheezing, coughing up blood, and frequent chest colds. If you are experiencing any of these symptoms, discuss them with your doctor as soon as possible.

Of special interest will be the numerous drawings and photographs of the Dunnington Grubb's work which has only recently been discovered after more than 50 years of storage. Many of these are residential gardens prior to World War 11 in the Toron- to. Niagara and Hamilton area. Included in these designs is the drawings of the north west entrance in- to Hamilton. Mr. Campbell will elaborate on how the rlutrtn- ington Grubbs founded Sheridan Nurseries as a source of supply for or- namental plant material previously not available in Canada, and on the Beaux Arts movement in design which explains many of the iron gates, benches, stonework and statuary found in the older, more notable, Canadian gardens. In addition, Mr. Camp- bell will trace how these styles were adapted from the English and modified for Canadian gardens.

Briefly, the story is that of Narcisse Maidoux who has loved Lautentienne Robichaud since he was a young man. She, however. has the veneer of sophistication that he does not. She is beautiful. he is at best manly in a homely sort of way. She was the wife of the town councillor: he. a master plumber. She has acquired intellec- tualism: he is still of the vile dust. Yet at her husband's funeral. the widower and recently retired %aremse determines that life will not pass hum by and sets about pursuing her with the pro- spect of mamage. To i mpress her he files papers to run for mayor of the city. She, however. has already done so on her own behalf. She is not a feminist but rather a self - determined person intent upon proving that small town mentality -not just that of small town Quebec - must be moderated. During a long evening together Narcisse and I.aurentienne discuss their views of life and its mean- ing, often humourously, always in a touching man- ner. At the end of the evening they have reached an understanding that mutual love is not out of the ques- tion: that "an old barn can catch fire faster than a new one The husband and wife team of Gelinas and Oligny meld together beautifully. Each is an accomplished performer in his or her own right; together they are simply a joy to watch. M. Geliras, we often thought of as Canada's Fer- nandel particularly in his Tit -Coq days. Now. we are inclined to consider him as a latter day Raimu: court - h• and gentle, with the strength that comes from inner character. M'selle Oligny is all sophisticated woman; In- deed she rather rerrunds one of Danielle Darrieux but with none of the frosty reserve of the latter. One can well understand why the decent Narcisse could wait a lifetime for her. Please go see The Pas- sion of Narcisse Mondoux. See if you do not agree with us. See if it is not a charm- ing. pleasurable work of theatre. OPERA ON STAGE: The denouement of Die Fledermaus, currently playing at The O'Keefe takes place in a Vienna gaol of which the custodian is the dim witted Frosch. The role is deliberately written as an excuse for the delivery of topical and or inside humour. one of Frosch's jokes in the pre- sent production is more telling than, one supposes, was intended. Complaining about the singing of Italian tenor Alfredo (no, his surname isn't Fettucine as far as one knows) he says "Now he's singing in Welsh but who can tell -what he means - without su rtities!" Your correspondent could make the same com- plaint about the production itself. We could hardly ar- �� Around and About Your Dining &Entertainment Guide ticulate any of the lyrics in this English translation from the German. We remain adamant in our conviction that English is the world's finest language but equally firm that operas should not be performed in it. One grants that Die Fledermaus is an operetta and conceded that the spoken words could be understood; it remains though that the lyrics of the songs are not always clear. We cannot even comment if the translated libretto of John Mortimer approaches those of Howard Dietz or Lorenz Hart. None of the foregoing really matters since Die Fledermaus is always a joy no matter how presented. Yet the comment must be made that it is better in the original and native Ger- man .. with or without sur - titles. Now. that's out of the way. let's review this Cana- dian Opera Company presentation. Stated with maximum reticence, it is simply Wonderful Wunder - bar Gemuchlikcht. All right. so German isn't our strong suit but you must surely know what we mean. The sets. costumes and lighting are pleasurable to the eye; the music, pleasurable to the ear and the performers to both . . even while struggling on occasion with an over ef- fusive orchestra conducted by Richard Bradshaw with lavish and obvious affec- tion. One could wish to name each cast member in- &-idually but to do would be only -only' -to deliver uniform praise. Only one member of the cast might possibly be singled out for unkind criticises but we will not do so. Why? Well. the young lady who played the part of the effete Count Orlofsky ( sopranos often sing the role; it's a little operatic custom) was, we believe. struggling with the English translation. We could barely hear her. let alone understand her.

It is a wondrous work and always enjoyable. OPERA IN (I)NCERT: Massenet's Griselidis will be presented in concert at matinee performances on Feb. 16th and 17th in the Jane Mallet Theatre. Forgive us for salivating while pointing out that it will be sung in French. DISTAFF STAGE: Nightwood Theatre is described as an influential feminist theatre company dedicated to developing original works by Canadian women theatre artists. Sort of smacks of discrimina- tion doesn't it; discrimina- tion against Canadian theatre males. Anyway, on Feb. 2nd it is presenting the comedy A Fertile Imagination at the Poor Alex Theatre. It is about a lesbian couple's at- tempt to have a baby through alternative fer- tilization. That's funny? Something that is indeed funny -curious -is the advice that this is the world premiere of the work -after being the hit of the Ground- swell Festival in 1989. One wonders, too, if the influential Nightwood Theatre was responsible for the renaming some years ago of a popular pub on the Danforth near Cox - well Avenue. It used to be called The Coxwell Inn. ON T.V. This Saturday and Sun- day, Global Television presents the lith annual Variety Club Telethon with a whole host of celebrities including Diahann Carroll and Vic Damone. Very serous fun. Degrassi High looks at the topic of teenage suicide in a two parter airing on Jan. 28th ( last Monday) and Feb. 4th ( Monday next) . We like the comment of producer Linda Schuyler .

Feb. t1th, CBC premieres Urban Angel, a Canadian production from Tekscene about an ex con who lands a job on the police beat of the Montreal Tribune. .'An iconoclastic crusader against corru . tion and crime" Has a ring to it doesn't it. BALLET BARGOON : The National Ballet of Canada has announced the availability of $9 standby tickets for all ACTRA, Equity and Musician Union members. These are for performances at The O'Keefe. The National has offered and continues to offer standby tickets to students and seniors. it now extends the saving to all dancers, actors and musicians. IF IT WORKS: Greg Patterson, former- ly of The National and now with the English National Ballet has sent along two interesting items from over the water. The first was advice that record attendance levels were recorded for the Yuletide season's 31 perfor- mances of The Nutcracker at T'he Royal Festival Hall. Over all paid attendance was 96% surpassing the record set the previous year. Well done. The second piece advises that next season the English National will be mounting a new production of The Nutcracker to replace the record break- ing existing one choreographed by Peter Schauf uss. There is probably a sound reason behind the change but it seems to us that the old saw should be observed; If it works, don't fix it. IKYT LXX;: Tomorrow at Noon, Strop sy's will host its annual Celebrity Outdoor Barbecue for the Variety Club Telethon. We had thought that another engagement might have prevented our ap- pearance ppearance but we simply have to show up for arm wrestling with A. Frank Ruffo! IN PRINT: Along with countless others we were saddened to read of the passing of Nor- throp Frye. For those whose lives were not touch- ed by him, we recommend his biography written by John Ayre and published by Vintage Books. Marshall McLuhan wrote of Northrop Frye, "Nome is not struggling for his place in the sun. He is the sun'. He will be missed FAST EXIT: As this is being written, it is still uncertain whether or not the super bowl (we refuse to capitalize it!) will be played. Even so, we pass along this little gem. A Santa Clara, California man had an argument with his wife on a Sunday morn- ing. Distraught after the fight, his wife went into the bedroom and killed herself. Her husband soon found the body but it was super bowl Sunday so he went back into the living room and watched the game before he called the police. Had enough? There's more. A police lieutenant was asked if the man's behaviour was most bizarre. He replied, "It cer- tainly was. After all, it was a dull game." 0 Wed. January 39, 101!1 THE NEWS/POST Page 7 Utopia - e Of/U9' A( MISS Lake Ontario The Utopia Causeway Corporation of Toronto, is undertaking to build a bridge across Lake Ontario from the Pickering/Ajax area in Ontario to a point near Wilson, east of Niagara Falls, New York thus eliminating the ar- duous task of driving to and from the U.S. via the over- crowded QEW. The President, Captain Gunnar Tannis, contends that this 58 km (36 mile) Bridge would be the longest in the world, and with the pontoon/bridge method of construction envisaged, could be mostly factory built over a 2 to 3 year period from the time that all necessary government approvals were received. His contention is that there is no new technology involved, just novel ap- plications of proven methods. Built as a toll bridge, at an estimated cast of about $4 billion, the bridge would accommodate upwards of 8500 crossings per day in the first year, increasing by 2% annually.

A recent ex- ample of Canadian com- peting companies cooperating to fund the R&D necessary to their joint survival in world markets is found in the auto radiator industry. Together some eighteen small firms, with the sup- port of the National Research Council, funded a program that has resulted in the development of a wind tunnel and associated software that promises to put them at the forefront of the industry worldwide. A ribbon -cutting ceremony will be held to open the new wind tunnel facility on Jan. 31 from 1 to 2 p.m. at Thermodyne Engineering. 421 Nugget Ave. Unit 3, Scarborough.

She coached Dianna Sinnige and Rachel Starr of the four, to a 1st -place finish in the elite lightweight women's pair at the U.S. National Championships and to a 5th -place finish in the same event at the Good- will Games in 1990.

In spite of her coaching WEEK from Ottawa with Rene Soetens, M.P. Canada is now engaged in military activity supporting United Nations' resolutions designed to end Iraq's illegal and brutal occupation of Kuwait following its invasion last August. Canadians are a people dedicated to a peaceful world - our actions over the course of history have proven that. However, our nation, along with virtually every other country in the world, has supported and encouraged all ge- nuine effort to persuade Iraq to abide by international law. Iraq has consistently ignored all U.N. resolutions which have called for its peaceful withdrawal from Kuwait. As a result, Iraq must now face the consequences, of its actions. I strongly support the government in its actions related to the Gulf. Canada must demonstrate its support of the U.N. in action, not only in words. A failure to act would only serve to undermine the U.N.; ignore naked aggression; and encourage other countries to defy international law. I believe that we need only ask ourselves what we would want the world to do if we were ever subjected to the hor- rors inflicted upon Kuwait. Surely we would want justice. During the Gulf debate in the House of Commons, I believe that the former Prime Minister, the Rt. Hon. John Turner succinctly summarized the situation as a matter of: "whose will is going to prevail: the ambitious will of Sad- dam Hussein who would hold, at the very least, the Arab world under his thumb, or the collective will of the world ex- pressed as uniquely as it can be expressed within the forum of the United Nations with rare singleness of purpose never in my lifetime seen by an international body... Now that we are at rear, the distinction between whether our rates are offensive or defensive is immaterial. Canada is joined in a common effort to free Kuwait. The unprovok- ed attack on Israel by Iraq clearly demonstrated OR again just what type of individual we are dealing with. Our rate in the Gulf must be a clear response to the actions of Iraq - I would like to thank the many people who called me regarding the crisis in the Gulf. I understand the views of those who believe that Canada should not be involved in the Gulf, however, from these conversations with you, it is clear that the majority of Ontario Riding supports the government in its efforts. Of cause, as a politician, 1 ap- preciate the support for our initiative. However, of far more vital importance is the support you have shown for the Canadian men and rrorrhen in the Gulf. commitments, she is never very far from the oars herself.

The brochure is the first by a Canadian travel tour operator to be produced us- ing vegetable inks and printed on recyclable paper. In addition, Trentway Tours has sponsored an ongoing reforestration pro- gram with Trees Ontario to replace the number of trees used to print their brochures with a seedling maintenance program. "It's about time the travel industry wakes up and stops taking our en- vironment for granted," said Jim Devlin, President of Trentway Totes. "We are dependent upon the beauty of our country and the scenery of the destina- tions we sell to attract customers to our door. Therefore it should motivate everyone of us in the travel industry to do our share in ensuring we have trees, forests and green valleys now and in the future." The Trentway brochure also points out some in- teresting comparative facts between motorcoach and car travel as a result of a survey done by the Na- tional Tour Association last year. A Motorcoach carrying 40 passengers emits 9.1 grams of carbon monoxide per mile while 20 tars car- rying two passengersper car emit 68.0 grams per mile. That's 747% more carbon monoxide per mile by car than by motor coach! Trentway Tours has been a leading motorcoach tour operator for over 25 years.
