August 14, 1991 Opinion a page for expression for you and us The Peace Games by Bob Watson The 19th annual Indianapolis -Scarborough Peace Games are over and once again the efforts of a large group of peo- ple in both cities has been rewarded with the friendly in- teraction of the athletes and officials between the two cities. Competition in the 15 sports was friendly - as usual - but competitive for their home team. But many friendships develop in the Peace Games. In addition, people from both countries learn quite a bit more about the other country at the games - a lot more than just visiting on a normal holi- day. We believe this interchange should be encouraged bet- ween other cities as the idea has spread to a number of cities in Eastern Canada and the U.S.A. As well as the meeting of athletes, in recent years there has been a bigger interchange between the politicians of both cities and this can provide for an exchange of ideas as well. The 20th annual Indianapolis -Scarborough Peace Games will be held in Indianapolis in August 1992, Who Is He Kiding?

The 1921 Census showed Canada's population almost equally split between country and urban dwellers but by 1931 urbanites had moved into a narrow majority. Their lead has been widening ever since. Here are some Statistics Canada figures on the growth of urban living. Back in 1851, the population split was 87% of Canadians in rural areas and the remaining 13% in urban communities. By 1996. Statistics Canada figures showed that 76.5% (19 million) of the population lived in urban areas and 23.5% (6 million) in rural areas. Toronto. Montreal. Vancouver, Ottawa -Hull, Edmonton, Calgary, Winnipeg. Quebec City and Hamilton have re- mained the nine largest Census Metropolitan Areas ( CMAs) since 1951. By 1996, these nine CMAs accounted for 479 of the total Canadian population with the top three ( Toronto, Montreal, Vancouver) totalling 31%.

While the farm population has been declining for decades, the desire to live away from the big cities has brought a steady although moderate increase in the rural population, according to Statistics Canada. The 6 million rural dwellers counted in the 1986 Census was an increase from 4.8 million back in 1931. The farm population was 3.2 million in 1931, the first time the census counted separately the people on farms and the people living in rural areas but not on farms. By 1986, Statistics Canada figures showed the rural farm population was down to fewer than 891.000. Gotlieb Warns Of Threats Facing Canada Council In a recent speech to the Central Canada Broadcasters' Annual Convention, Canada Council Chairman Allan Gotlieb warned: "Today the Council faces a double threat. Having been the national government's chosen instrument for artistic development and the major motor for the extraordinary transformation of the arts in Canada, the Council faces the possibility of being slowly starved to death or dismantled. This is a condition that I would describe as death by decre- ment." He reported that the Council's board, at a recent quarter- ly meeting, had "expressed alarm at the precarious finan- cial situation of Canada's artists and arts organizations." The board unanimously approved a public resolution re- questing that the government "address urgently the finan- cial needs of the arts community by responding to the coun- cil's request for the additional funds required to enable it to help sustain the viability of artistic life and expression in Canada. " The second threat is the possibility that future constitu- tional arrangements may involve the transfer of federal responsibilities for funding the arts and culture, as current- ly exercised through the Canada Council, to the provinces. Mr. Gotlieb said that the Council remains "a strong propo- nent of healthy provincial, municipal and private sector support to the arts." But it is imperative," he emphasized, "to maintain a strong and healthy national funding body as well... "While each region and each group has its own rich heritage and cultural traditions, an aggregation of separate parts does not constitute a nation. The whole must be greater than the sum total of its parts." "A national institution like the council is not in itself the keeper of the country's soul. But in helping Canadians to create their distinctive culture, share their experiences and build common traditions, it is an essential national institu- tion. a part of the glue that holds our country together." Mr. Gotlieb concluded by saying that at this extraor- dinarily difficult juncture in the country's history, when Canadians are suffering from divisiveness, deep uncertain- ty and sense of dislocation. Canada .. now more than ever before .. needs to see itself, in its many different parts, in the artist's mirror. Those who can best communciate the in- telligence, the passion and the most deeply felt emotions of Canadians are our artists Here and There Upgrading starts on historic hydro sites Hydro is starting the fust phase of a 20 -year program to rehabilitate many of its older hydroelectric plants and enhance the contribution of water power to Ontario's elec- tricity supply. The opening phase involves four of Hydro's oldest plants: Merrickville on the Rideau River near Ottawa and the Sidney, Seymour and Flrankford plants on the Trent River near Trenton. ..One of the best ways to postpone building costly new facilities is to make the most of the ones we already have,.. explained Don Anderson, Hydro's Vice -President of Design and Construction. When all 33 stations in the program are renovated, their total capacity will have been increased about 20 percent to 190 megawatts - enough to meet the peak demand of a com- munity the size of Thunder Bay. Electrical lead shifting plan announced Hydro has announced a plan to encourage industrial com- panies that use large amounts of electricity to shift their energy use to off-peak periods• a process called "load shif- ting-. This plant offers financial incentives for acquisition of equipment that will shift load off-peak. The incentives, in- cluding grants up to $100 for every kilowatt shifted, could reduce the payback period on electrical load shifting pro- jects to as little as 18 months. Examples of projects that would apply are: pump storage tanks for off-peak pulping in the paper industry, and increasing tank or reservoir capacity for off-peak water pumping. Hydro also offers special " nme of Use" rates to promote off-peak power use. STATFACTS Once census questionnaires are returned to Statistics Canada for processing, keyboard operators will start the massive job of entering the information into electronic data banks. All told, it will take about 2.7 billion keystrokes to do that. If there were only six operators, they'd be at it for 25 years. Census information is confidential and all Statistics Canada employees who handle it are sworn to secrecy. No other agency - not Revenue Canada, not the Canadian Security Intelligence Service - can have access to in- dividual census data. ___________.I i Give A Gift That Lasts All Year!

August 14, 1991 Bill Watt's Worlds LANDMARK: It'd probably be more dramatic to begin this piece with the words "It was a dark and stormy tight." It wouldn't be cor- rect however. No, in fact, it was a bright August morning - Aug. 6th, 1991 - when we were privileged to view the ceremonial sod turning ( actually it was asphalt) for what is destined to become a Toronto land- mark. Ed and David Mhrvish have secured the Canadian rights to Cameron Mackin- tosh's towering musical Miss Saigon. So lavish is this production that there is at present only one theatre in Toronto large enough to present it. That theatre is The O'Keefe but it is com- mitted to the Canadian Opera Company and the National Ballet of Canada by virtual mandate and so it cannot house Miss Saigon for a long enough run to make this hugely expen- sive show economically viable. So it was that we found ourself at 300 King St. W. to witness the fust step in the physical construction of the theatre that the Mirvi are building to house Miss Saigon scheduled to open there on May 26th. 1993. It is the fust free stan- ding theatre to be con- structed in North America in over 30 years. Now one must not im- agine that this is going to SUNSET CHAMPAGNE CRUISES Board 32' Trclan Yacht iso. per couple Induces 27: hour cruise with champaflne. FISHING CHARTERS Reasonable rates. Bluffers Paris 267-2017 be a pristine blob con- structed jerry style only to be torn down after the an- ticipated two, three or more years run of Miss Saigon. No indeed! This new theatre will, in its way, be what the Royal Alexandra has always been... technically perfect and artistically gracious. In as few words as possible, it is being constructed in the grand manner. Its opening night promises to be one of the most memorable in the history of Toronto theatre. A name for the theatre has not been decided as yet. The obvious one is the Edwin Mirvish Theatre but Mr. Mirvish will not hear of it. As for us, we suggest that it be named E.D.S.... Ex- cellent Dowtown Shows. It might not be poetic but it is surely indicative of what this landmark theatre will present and represent for many years to corse. For its opening night we look forward with en- thusiasm and confidence to writing finis coronat opus ... the end crowns the work. ON SCREEN: We hope we're wrong in predicting that The Com- mitments (Twentieth Cen- Wn Fox), scheduled to open today will disappear within the week to become available at budget prices in video stores within three months. At some future date, however, it will become a cult favourite. When will that be? Who can say? We predicted cult status for the first motion picture we ever reviewed. It was a spaghetti western titled "A Man Called Fonda and Terrence Hill. We are still waiting, with unabated confidence for its resurgence as a genuine and appreciated work of value. What makes a motion afsae acceptable ter a faion initial release? Again, who can Around and A bou 4 Your Dining & Entertainment Guide say? One of the most en- joyed films at retrospec- tives is "Bringing Up Baby„ with Cary Grant and Katharine Hepburn. It bombed in 1938 but is now considered to be a text book screwball comedy. "The Commitments" is an Irish production - one must now presume that the Irish do more than just fight in the streets and blow up pubs - about the attempt to launch a rock group by that name. The attempt fails, as does almost everything else with Irish attempt these days, and the group dissolves. Why do we think that the film will also fail, at least for now? Well, for one thing it seems too contrived. amost exploitive. For another• it is far too episodic; it never seems to get up a head of steam. As well, there are too many characters. making it dif- ficult for an audience to identify or empathize with any of them. Finally, and perhaps most telling. none of the performers are familiar and most of them have little of the magnetism possibly best described as star power. Very well. it's been stated why the film won't make it initially while still hoping we're wrong. Why will it make it a few years down the road? We suggest that two of the performers might just become stars and when they do. "The Commitments" will be remembered as a film that had them both in it and will be brought bock. Perhaps then, audiences will appreciate what the film was trying to do and accept it with all its very real shortcomings. Perhaps not, but its a feel- ing we have.

Regrettably, Miss Howe will appear for one week only but new shows are presently being scheduled for each week. Dinner is from 6:30 and show times will be 8:30. New, too, is the presenta- tion of a Saturday matinee at 2:30 p.m. Now, amid all our per- sonal enthusiasm which we suspect we have made manifest, here are words of warning. Don't blow this oppor- tunity Toronto! You lost entertainment in the Im- perial Room by default. Don't lose the Arcadian Court. Support it, attend the shows. Frankly, we can't see why anyone wouldn't want to; we can't see why anyone wouldn't want to enjoy the at- mosphere of such clubs as the Cocoanut Grove, the Trocadero and Ciro's. But, mark our words, non custom will mean the lass of another fine social amenity. IN PRINT: The title The Best of Gourmet -Volume V1 (Ran- dom House) has your cor- respondent mildly confus- ed. How can there be several volumes of rbe Best of anything? That aside, allow us to wax rhapsodic over this handsome volume, too handsome really to be taken into the kitchen. Its over 300 pages are appor- tioned into three sections of merit collections, a recipe compendium and a gourmet addendum the last named of which deals nice- ly with cooking with herbs. The Best of Gourmet Magazine V1 might or not be all that the title implies but it is most certainly ly wor- thy of one's attention. Obviously we have not at- tempted all of the recipes but here are a few that are causing us to salivate even as this is being written. How about Sea Bass with Lemon Caper Fettuccine? Or, Portuguese Kale and Potato Soup? In the mood simply for an appetizer? Try Fruit Kebabs with Vanilla Mimi Yogurt Sauce. Dessert? Enjoy Mango Sorbet or Beer -Batter - Fried Apple Rings. As for us, we're gong to dash through our fast exit before leaving the study for the dining room and a Bak- ed Mashed Potato and Vegetable Omelette. We are fortunate to have a low cholesterol count.

August 14, 1991 THE POST Page 7 Brock East Community Opposes Hih Rise Apts 9' by Brenda Birinyi The Brock East neighborhood community is disappointed to learn that high rise apartments are going up on their street. At a Town of Pickering planning meeting last Tuesday night, residents from Southview Dr. and surrounding area express- edto council once again, their opposition to the high rise apartment building. Bill Wright, a 33 year resident of Soutliview Dr., shared with council his con- cern for the destruction of the mature trees that are in the path of this develop- ment. "I stopped counting at 300 trees and realized I was only half way down my street," said Wright. Wright figures traffic pro- blems will increase dramatically, estimating the two new apartment buildings alone will generate some 800 cars that will be coming into the area. Residents on thus night were looking to council to defer the application sub- mitted by a numbered com- pany: 777934 Ontario Ltd. Murray Stroud, representing the applicant of the proposed 2.4 hectares (6 acres) development, balked at the suggestion of a deferral, reminding coun- cil this application was first submitted back in November 1988 and the ap- plicant did not want any further delays. The only section of the proposal Stroud wanted to discuss was to lend his sup- port to council permitting A/arshcourt Dr. to become a cul-de-sac, instead of a through street. The applicant, 77M On- tario Ltd. proposes for Kingston Rd- and Southview Dr.: one 8-12 story apartment (about 176 units), one 3-5 story apart- ment ( about 122 units) , convenience stores with limited retail use (i.e. a 'corner store') and a medical, dental building. The residents in atten- dance at the meeting last week, complained that, ac- cording to the Brock East Neighborhood Develop- ment Plan, Pickering Town Planners have identified their neighborhood as be- ing located partially in a `special design area'. This specific type of residential designation largely comprises of larger single residential lots situated in a secluded area which is characteristic of their neighborhood. Any permitted proposals for development in this area must be, "functional and compatible with the sur- rounding area" according to town planners. Residents are at a loss, wondering how this ex- isting zoning in the official plan for their surrounding neighborhood of low densi- ty and large lot sizes could be amended, now allowing for high density apart- ments and other mixed land uses in their neighborhood. Councillor Kip Van Kempen, blasted Coun- cillor Maurice Brenner for supporting the application that will bring high rise apartments into the area. "Are you not the same councillor who called an emergency meeting last summer to oppose apart- ment buildings on Whites Road?" Brenner acknowledged he voted against a similar tlplan in his ward, but did not ieve the level of residen- tial opposition was the same. "There has been no out- cry from the community on Southview Dr. that would indicate a high level of op- position to the proposed apartment buildings," claims Brenner. However, Van Kempen was concerned that council was not being consistent with their decisions. "Let's show some continuity here," urged Van Kempen. Before Wright took his seat, he, too, urged council to try and get together with the residents in the area to perhaps "strike a deal" giving the homeowners an opportunity to sell their Amadeus Choir Offers 4 Concerts Music lovers enjoyed the Amadeus Choir of Scar- borough's performances last season and critics ap- plauded their new ven- tures. Leslie Fagan who delighted audiences at the Broadway Spectacular and has been described as a singer of immense ver- satility will be returning.

Canadianism Is First Multiculturalism Is Second homes and get out of the area so they would not become boxed in by apart- ment buildings going up around them. "If this is a 'fait ac- compli' and 'done deal' let's look at what overall opportunity for current residents to maintain their financial investment. We will also sell our properties and then you can put apart- ment buildings on our pro- perty as well!

August 14, 1991 THE NEWS/ POST Page 9 Another Side of the Diaper Debate BY.- CHERYL LEVINE-FULLER Cheryl Levine -Fuller, of Victoria, B. C., is a full-time mother of three active boys ages 5, 2 and 3 months who, in her spare time makes and sells children's clothing and accessories. She would like to .see a national association devoted to promoting the mother/parent role, thereby enhancing the parent's sense of self-worth and accomplishment. I am an environmentalist. I have changed much in my home to benefit this planet, ranging from how I use electricity, to what napkin sits next to my dinner plate, to choosing to use cloth diapers for my son. Why then would I sit on the non -en- vironmental side of the diaper issue? Last year I began to question the extensive attention dis- posable diapers were receiving from the media and en- vu=uncntal groups. It seems that drapers have begat to sym- bolize the entire environmental WeVound at the expense of very few people. Don't misun- derstand me. 1 am very sympa- thetic to the environmental point of view. I realize that dis- posabic diapers are a single con- sumer product, responsible for two percent of the landfill mass. 1 also realize that we as con- wmcrs must eliminate our throw away mentality, which disposable drapers epitomize. But as my research continued, l grew certain that in order to truly understand this issue you must get beyond the rhetoric and examine the human side. Consider, for example, the parent on a small fixed income. Where does she find the $65 to $75 dolhrs necessary to pur- chase a dozen of the new, im- proved cloth diapers:' If she is fortunate and creative enough to conic up with some form of a cloth diaper. where does she find the time and money to launder diapers almost daily? And what of in , tinern adults? Many are active and vibrant members of this society. For these people a doth diaper means a life full of shame and embarrassment. They must worry about leakage and odour: problems that are reduced sub- stantially by the incontinence products on the market. Even today's middle class morn, working either in or out- side of the home, has frequent requirements for disposable di- apers. I spoke to one mom wh9 became bedridden shortly after the birth of her son. For the period of time that she was re- liant on friends and family to care for her, she chose to use disposable diapers for her new- bom. Moms who travel with their children often use disposable diapers as well. Packing dirty diapers onto an airplane and laundering daily is not terribly conducive to a pleasant holiday. 1 believe that hardworking mothers deserve the occasional vacation, even from dirty di- apers. Finally we must consider the babies. There is significant evi- dence that disposable diapers keep babies drier, therefore in- hibiting diaper rash. This may not be true for every baby, but it certainly has been true for my son. Additional research has also shown that disposable di- apers prevent the spread of dis- ease in the day are setting. For nary babies disposable diapers may be a health arc item rather than a simple comfortable con- venience. As in all things, common sense must prevail. Eliminating disposable diapers will not save this planet, especially consider- ing that the alternative is not entirely environmentally friend- ly. Those of us who an, should use doth diapers whenever feasible given our individual circum mces. Those of us who choose not to change to cloth should not be labelled lazy, which I believe is an all too common belief. We must reexhg- nize that disposable diapers have a place in this society. With current cffons to examine composting and recycling aka - natives. I hope to one day buy disposable drapers without feel- ing like an environmental ter- rorist.

August 14, 1"1 Business Community News First Tire Recycling Opera tion Mike Crupi, President of Ontario based TI W, R Inc. announced that its Scar- borough Tire Recycling Plant is now producing a useable rubber "crumb" that National Rubber Ltd. 0 and other customers are purchasing from T/WIR Inc. Mike Crupi states it is the only operation of its kind in North America, and is the answer to the growing ac - Above. are 2300 tins which can be processed in one day to produce about 20 bags for use by National Rubber to make new products. Metro Toronto Board of Trade Recent Policy Submissions Education In response to a letter from The Board's Educa- tion Committee regarding Ontario's withdrawal from the School Achievement In- dicators Program, Wally Beever, ADM Learning Programs, indicates that the national tests will not be related to what is being taught in schools across Canada, and therefore will be of no use in improving programs. Mr. Beevor adds, however, that On- tario has participated in the Second International Assessment of Education Progress. Pension Policy The Federal government has abandoned its con- troversial plan to use taxes to push more pension fund money into Canadian equities. The plan, which would have imposed a tax on a pension fund's debt in- vestments such as bonds and treasury bills, was strongly opposed by The Board in its April, 1991 sub- mission "Promoting Cana- dian Pension Investment Through Pension Funds". Brag That You Are A Canadian cumulation of tires being stored across dump sites in Ontario. "After three years of research and development, and an investment of over $3 million dollars, we have completed the business Imp and have produced for the consumer, on a pro- fitable basis, end -products Put of scrapped tires," said Mike Crupi. Mr. Crupi and his business colleague, Asher Golan, began the search for this process after purchas- ing the Swiss ATS technology, based on the Thermo -Friction -Screw Press. which forms the heart of the T, W; R Recycl- ing Process: The tires are shredded and the shredded material is processed by the first ATS Machine. The ground - up product is carried by a belt conveyor with the steel being separated by belt magnets. The rubber and fibre enters a screener which produces the rubber ready to enter the third ATS Machine. The remain- ing steel which still con- tains 2% rubber enters the grinding process of the se- cond ATS Machine. The bulk steel is now ejected from the process. The separated rubber now enters the third ATS Machine and the output rubber "crumb" now goes through the second screener. From this pro- cess all eight mesh rubber "crumb" and fibre is bagg- ed and sent to National Rubber. A fourth ATS Machine grinds the remaining rub- ber "crumb" to produce the other fine -crumb" materials which are bagg- ed for other markets. Ulrike Crvp emphasizes, ..With this process. tires no longer need to be stored in great quantity, hence, such environmental disasters as the Hagersville tire fire will no longer threaten our communities. " He does not want to suf- fer the same fate as his younger brother, Frank. who was forced to market his "Inplace Asphalt Recycling Technology.. in the United States. The Crupi family invested over $6 million of their own money towards the research and development of this true recycling pro- cess for asphalt. Mike Crupi believes he has solved the problem fac- ing the many municipalities in Ontario who are currently storing tires or have their tires shipped to the United Statefs for burning as fuels. Need Day Volunteers Sunnybrook Health Science Centre in the Bayview/Eglinton area is beginning to recruit reliable day volunteers for September. Volunteers must attend the introduc- tory information session, be able to walk long distances through hospital condors and have a good command of the English language. Bilingual Can- tonese English would be an asset. For further informa- tion contact the Volunteer Centre North York at 481-0194. Consider $35,000 For Waste Projects A musical theatre presentation "A Mountain of Garbage", a 3Rs fair, a computer software pro- gram on waste reduction and composting workshops for a Cantonese speaking community are just some of the innovative waste reduction projects to be awarded funding under the Community Action Waste Reduction Grants Pro- gram. A total of thirteen community-based projects amounting to $35,024.50 in funding were approved recently by Metropolitan Works Committee. Final approval of the funding by Management Committee and Metropolitan Council is still pending. The Community Action Waste Reduction Grants Program encourages residents to corse up with innovative ideas to reduce waste produced in their neighborhoods and then helps them to implement the ideas. Even groups who do not have experience with waste reduction pro- jects may apply for fun- ding. Assistance is available for developing a waste reduction proposal. The program's goal is to pro- vide all types of non-profit groups with an opportunity to help their cormnunibes reduce waste. Community-based groups eligible for funding include church groups, ethnic associations, service clubs, youth groups, ratepayers' associations, parent -teacher associa- tions and other non-profit organizations. These groups may apply for a maximum of $2,000 to cover the capital and operating costs of their pro- jects. Larger, non-profit organizations with proven experience in waste reduc- tion projeCts may apply for up to $20,000. Interotsted applicants are invited to submit their pro- posals to the Metropolitan Toronto Works Depart- ment, Community Action Waste Reduction Grants Program, loth fluor. 439 University Ave., Toronto, Ontario M5G 1Y8, or call 392-3753 for more informa- tion and an application. Some of the more than $35,000 in community ac- tion waste reduction grants include: The Canadian Foundation for World Development, $14,000, to ship used goods to develop- ing countries; and to pro- mote this through their newsletter.

Metro embraces the challenge of fostering progressive and dynamic environmental policies where communities prosper through social harmony, meaning that the whale waterfront is for all to enjoy, not the privileged who in times past bought their portion of the lake front in estate form. In an environment that is clean, and safe, storm waters do not flow directly into the lake, the lakeshore is free of con- taminates, park and picnic areas are free of refuse. In keeping with this policy direction, plans are being prepared in collaboration with all levels of government which will attempt to address inter -relationships between environmental integrity, social and economical activities which the environment will support. In this respect I wish to develop a vision for all Metropolitan waterfronts whether river, creek or lakefront. Historically there have been many "public and private visions" for our waterfront which reflect the priorities of a given group supporting public versus private access, flood protection, shoreline protection, concerns for water recrea- tion, concerns of public health, as well as economical development. Our current priorities lean toward a desire to achieve a balance among recurring themes, integrated with en- vironmental support of sustainable development. At Metro there are a multiplicity of responsibilities as a regional government, to develop policies in co-operation with con- stituted municipalities for effective use of regional resources. One of the fundamental objectives I have for our water- front, is to make it easier for our residents to reach. Once there, to enjoy clean beaches, clean picnic areas and clean lake water. In summation I am working for a waterfront that is ac- cessible for all to enjoy, a waterfront that is healthy and a waterfront that is beautiful. Residents of Ward 16 ( that's Scarborough Highland Creek) should be proud of the strides and accomplishments we as a community have achieved in the area of household waste reduction and recycling. A great number of our residents in Scarborough Highland Creek have been using their Blue Box to recycle paper, plastics, glass and metal carts. Over 2200 residents are helping by using back yard composters for recycling kitchen waste and by so doing not only reduce waste to our landfill sites but have added richly m Yes, residents of Scarborough Highland Creek have taken a leading pari in several areas of Scarborough's overall waste reduction program. We have achieved these accomplishments because we have worked together as a concerned community. If your have any questions about Metro Toronto please call me or my office at 3924055.

"Active Parenting" is for parents of children three to Queen's Park Report From Elinor Caplan M.P.P. Oriole Last spring, when the traditional budget debate in the Legislature was cancelled because of procedural wrangling between the NDP and the Tories, Liberal MPPs decided to travel across Ontario and listen to people talk about Bob Rae's fust budget. We visited 17 communities during our Budget Review Tour and listened to 174 presentations from business and labour leaders, small business owners, senior citizens, young people, municipal individuals. We've published a report on our findings, "The NDP Budget: Mortgaging On- tario's Future". People we talked to roundly condemned Bob Rae's first budget for its =10 -billion deficit and the planned addition of $35 -billion to the overall provincial debt during the next four years. They're afraid of the damage and job losses it will in- flict on Ontario's economy. People told us they are fed up with tax increases. They don't like the S1 -billion in tax hikes that Bob Rae imposed in his budget, and they realize that the NDP's projected deficits will lead to even higher taxes. In fact, Treasurer Floyd Laughren admits that he will have to levy at least t5 -billion in new taxes in order to reach his 1994 revenue targets. Many presenters called for restraints on government spending, but Ontarians aren't sure exactly which pro- grams should be curtailed or eliminated. People told us it's up to the government to set its priorities and decide what's necessary - that's what the government is elected to do. People told us they want and need the services that government provides, but those services should be delivered in a fiscally responsible way. They believe the NDP is doing a poor job of managing the government and the economy, and that our social programs can be preserv- ed without a huge deficit. Besides criticizing the budget, many presenters came up with positive alternatives. Business and union leaders say the government should set job training as a higher priority; other presenters suggested the government place note em- phasis on fostering research and develpnent; municipal leaders say the government's anti -recession program should be targetted to areas in the most need. The overall inessage we received from people is clear: they believe the NDP's budget is hurting Ontario and they want the government to listen to their concerns. -HOW TO" SEMINARS The Pickering Idea Place is still r umung interesting seminars, workshops and demonstrations throughout August.
