What An Election!
by Bob Watson
Well our municipal elections are over and the voters -
well, some of them - have spoken!
It is very unfortunate when most citizens in our society
decide not to go out and vote. It is also too bad that a majori-
ty of residents do not pay attention to local politics in order
to personally assess the quality of the candidates.
Our system of democracy is supposed to be at its best in
local politics and provincial and federal politics just a little
more of a chore for voters. In this last vote in one area of
Scarborough - Metro Ward Scarborough -Malvern ( Wards
13 & 14) - only 18.6% of the voters cast ballots. This is
ridiculous when 81.4% don't even care who is elected!
In the City of Toronto some 50% voted because of the
large campaign by June Rowlands and Jack Layton for
mavor. In Scarborough. North York. East York, York and
Etobicoke there wasn't much of a tough decision by voters.
However. who is mayor is not the only thing that matters.
Each member of council, school board and public utilities is
important in making decisions on the voters' behalf in the
next 3 years.
Let's hope that the various local elected bodies carry out
their work well in this tight money and recessionary time.
Protect Your Pets
Dear Editor:
It is that time of the year again. A time when the colder,
often inclement. weather places many pets in uncomfor-
table, and frequently dangerous. situations. Most people do
not knowingly place their pets in these predicaments, but.
rather are ignorant of the potential perils facing their
animals.
Dogs kept out-of-doors with no or inadequate shelter like-
ly suffer the most with the arrival of cold weather. It is sad
that companion amfmals, such as dogs, are kept outside
where many of these social creatures are virtually forgot-
ten. Canines which are kept outdoors must have ap-
propriate shelter.
Ethylene glycol. present in antifreeze, brake fluid and
other items is another danger facing animals. This
substance is extremely toxic and causes severe and often
irreparable damage to the kidneys if ingested. Even small
amhouruts of ethylene glycol can be fatal.
Vomiting and weakness are two common signs of an
animal suffering from this poison. Animals suspected of in-
gesting etM'low glycol should be immediately taken to a
veterinarian. As well. ensure subtances containing
ethylene glycol are locked away in a storage cabinet or
made inaccesibie to animals i and dsldren a . If products
eontaunng ethylene glycol are spit, they merest be imr
m>ed ately and thoroughly cleaned up. Although ethylene
glycol is present throughout the year. it is more proaunent
dining the winter months when antifreeze is used to a
greater extent.
The arrival of cold weather also results in minerous
felines being severely injured and killed by vehicle farts and
fan belts. 'Ibis tragedy usually occurs when a cat huddles
around the engine of a vehicle in a desperate attempt to
keep warm. This gruesome occurrence can be avoided by
simply taking the time to alert any felines which may be
lurking under a vehicle hood by banging on the hood or
honking the horn. If honking is the technique used, allow
enough time for the cat to escape prior to starting the
engine. And. while cats are more prune to crawl up under
vehicle hoods during colder weather. they have been known
to do so during warmer weather as well. So. get into the
habit of always alerting curious felines before starting your
vehicle.
Winter is a beautiful time of year. Enjoy it, but make sure
that your pet and other animals do not suffer. For a free
pamphlet entitled "Ideal Doghouse For Ontario's Outdoor
Dogs" and or a supply of informative handbills ( which can
be distributed in your neighbourhood. workplace etc.) war-
ning of the hazards of ethylene glycol and cats under vehi-
cle hoods contact your local humane society or write: On-

Seven per cent millstone
around provinces' neck
By Michael Wveks
As outlined in t his space last
week, the Goods and Services
Tax has constituted nothing less
than a national tragedy, pilfering
almost $10 billion from Cana-
dian businesses in 1991, all
amidst a crippling recession. The
appalling truth about the GST
was revealed through a Cana-
dian Federation of lndependent
Business survey of 25,362 small -
and medium-sized firms based
in all parts of Canada.
'When broken down to a
provincial level, the GST's
impact is revealed to have been
positively devastating. The
provinces which already faced
high levels of provincial sales
tax—notably Newfoundland,
New Brunswick and Nova
Scotia—were leaders in their
discontent with another major
sales tax like the GSL In New-
foundland. for instant, the
prospect of a 7 per cent GST
compounded on a 12 per cent
provincial tax produces a sales
tax rate of almost 20 per cent
on many products. But even in
the province with the least
negative reaction to the GST—
Quebec-65.7 per cent of ruins
experienced a negative impact
on their businesses. The GST,
therefore; piaytd no favorites in
its assauk on consumers and
small businesses in every region
of Canada.
Alberta, umim in beimg the
only prvvmw without Buy pre
ous kind of sales tax sysi m, was
struck with devastatingly high
one-time adjustment costs.
Implementing a completely new
system cost Alberta businesses
an average of 54,500, compared
to $4,000 per firm in the rest
of Canada These kinds of one-
tunc cash outlays are caremreiy
diffixult at the best of times;
to the middle of a recession,
they're harmful and dangerous.
Similar to a migraine head-
ache that just won't go away, the
exorbitant start-up costs were
painfully replaced by staggering
oom lane cost% those expenses
incurred for the day -today
administration of the GSI. Nora
Scotian businesses, for example,
have doled out an average, of
5525 per month this year, sim-
ply to collect and remit the GST.
Businesses in British Columbia
forked out the equivalent of the
national average, a whopping
$430 per month.
The direct costs to businesses
to administer the GST, however
overwhelming, ten only half the
story. Cross-border shopping
(which seems to be quickly
replacing hockey as Canada's
national pastime), has simply
been fueled by the arrival of the

were among the hardest hit. with
more than orae -quarter of New
Brunswick's small firms, for
instance, citing the lots of busi-
ness to their American counter-
parts as a debit result of
the GSr's arrival.
The message from an prov-
inces and territories is crystal
clear: the GST has caused

would like nothing better than
to we the GST become a forgot-

solution instead of a 7 per cent

work. Rather. it has mercilessly

and the result is a weakened

throughout Canada, and a less

Here and There
$8.8 Million To First Nations
Ontario's First Nations will receive a total of $8.8 million
from the Ontario Ministry of Community and Social Ser-
vices over the next three years to improve child care on
their reserves.
The $8.8 minim includes $5 million available over the
next 18 months for new construction projects, as well as for
renovations to existing buildings. In addition, 400 licensed,
subsidized child care spaces will be created over a two-year
period starting in 1992. The federal government will share
in the $3.8 million cost of operating these spaces, including
$200 thousand in start-up funding for new programs.
The minister also stressed that this initiative will have
wide-ranging economic benefits for the First Nations, in-
cluding job opportunities through construction and by on-
going employment of people operating the child care pro-
grams.
$3 Million To Indians
For 1918 Land Claim
Dan Goodleaf, Association Deputy Minister of Indian Af-
fairs and Northern Development, has presented a land
claim settlement cheque to Chief Richard Poormran of the
Kawacatoose Band in Saskatchewan. The payment will
compensate the band for the toss of reserve land sur-
rendered in 1918 and sold by the federal government in 1919.
The money will be used by the band to purchase land and
compensate them for loss of past use. Under this agree-
ment, the federal government will consider transfer of up to
8.266 acres of land, if purchased, to reserve status.
Tom Siiddon, Minister of Indian Affairs and Northern
Development, said, "The ability of Indian people and the
federal government to sit down and negotiate fair set-
tlements is a key part of building a new relationship.,,
"This agreement gratifies me," said Chief Pborrnan.
"The settlement will give us the means to purchase the land
we have last." "We will also undertake economic
developments that will benefit band members. "
The federal government offered this x3,02o,000 settlement
to the bated as compensation for the sale of reserve land sur-
rendered in 1918. The band claimed that the federal govern-
ment sold the land to the Soldier Settlement Board without
the band's approval. The band also claimed that it had not
been properly compensated for the land at the time of the
sale.
The federal government accepted the land claim for
negotiation on the basis that, although the sale of the land
was legal, the compensation the band received was less
than fair market value at the time of sale.
A tentative settlement was reached on July 22, 1991. The
iKawacatoose band membership voted to accept the offer in
a ratification vote held on Sept. 25, 1991.
The Canadian taxpayers of today will pay the bin as the
national debt keeps climbing skyward.

$?S Millim Green Plan
A $25 minim Greets Plan initiative to reduce the frequen-
cy and impact of oil and chemical spins in Canada has been
announced by Pauline Broomm. Minister of State for the En-
vironment.
The Hazardous Spills Pmwentian and Response Program
will improve Canada's capability to prevent and respond to
pollutiam emergencies from oil and chemical spins an land
and into rivers and lakes. and to accidental releases of tootic
substances into the air.
"Kris program win lessen the impact of hazardous spins
an human health and the envuvament through improved
prevention, quicker response times and increased effec-
tiveness of emergency operations." said the Minister.
The program will also strengthen and improve the ex-
isting environmental enxwgency program of the federal
government in the fields of industrial accident and spin
piewe:ntian, preparedness. response. and research and
development-
ToCanada's ability to prevent and respond to
poiluntion emergencies, the federal government will seek to
develop and strengthen partnerships with provincial. ter-
ritorial and municipal governments, industry and
academic institutions.
There are an estimated 15.000 chemical and oil spills in
Canada each year, which frequently threaten public safety
and the environment. The Hazardous Spills Prevention and
Response Program will significantly improve prevention
and clean-up of these spins in all provinces and territories.
Why Are Students Paying GST On Books?
Liberal M.P. Derek Lee (Scarborougb-Rouge River) is
angry that students will be forced to perry the Goods and Ser-
vices Tax on school books after an already difrCwt Summer
which left many of them unemployed In an effort to make
the voices of Scarborough students beard in Ottawa, Mr.
Lee has initiated a petition which calls for the removal of
the GST an books and other printed materials.
"Students are already paying outrageous amounts for re-
quired text books and an extra seven percent mattes it event
larder for them to acquire the tools they need to further
their education. It is completely unfair," be says.
The "printed word" had been tax exempt since con-
federation until the implementation of the tax in January.
Today, books, magazines and newspapers are all fully tax-
ed under the Goods and Services Tax.
The petition will m be circulated the campuses of centen-
nial College (Progress Campus) and the University of
Toronto (Scarb011'tw h College), as well as at local schools
and book stores. Completed petitions will be presented in
the House of Commmons following the opening of Parliament
on Sept. 16. Anyone wishing to sign the petition or obtain a
COPY, is asked to contact Mr. Lee's constituency office at
296.8899, or drop by at 200 Town Centre Court, Suite 219,

wen Rene Soetens, M.P.
In 1914, at the start of World War 1, we were still a young
country with a sense of nationalism that was only beginning
to emerge. By year's end, far years later. Canadians were
rC1okwig in a new-found confidence and independence. The
Canadian Corps, having first sturnned the world with its vic-
tory at Vimy Ridge, had gone on to lead the ales in one
great offensive charge after another. At the end of the war
it was a self-assured Canada that signed the armistice en-
ding Wold War 1. However, confidence and pride as a na-
tion were not to come cheaply. Some 66.00o Canadians died
as aur country was said to have cane of age m the mud and
blood of Flanders and the Somme.
In 1909. Canadians had to pick up their kitbags again.
Some went overseas and suffered grievers losses at Dieppe
and Hong Kong. Other troops slugged it out with Germany's
best in the Mediterranean Campaign. The mm and worsen
of our air force were renowned for their skill and ability. We
larded in force an D-day and went on to liberate the
Netherlands, my own homeland In World War 11, a further
44,o00 Canadians were killed returning peace and freedom
to tens of millions of people.
Shortly after, in 1950, our nation was brick in the line of
fire when 95.000 Canadians volunteered to fight under the
flag of the United Nations as the free world successfully
saved South Korea from being swallowed by a powerful
neighbour. Today, less than a third of the nearly 1.8 million
Canadians who served in two Wald Wars and Korea are
alive. These courageous men and women acted out of a
sense of duty to Canada, and handed over a prod military
tradition. Ibis tradition was carried on by those members
of the Armed Forces who went to fight in the gulf earlier
this year.
While we remember those who saved Canada, we should
also take this day to reflect on the effects of war in our pre-
sent day lives. The recent conflict in the Middle East and
the frequent unrest across the globe reminds us that war
can occur all too easily and that the price is very dear.
This Remembrance Day, please take some time to
recognize the Canadian veterans who gave so much in
hopes that we could live in harmony today. They fought,
and often died, for a proud, united, and prosperous Canada.
They do not forget. Nor should we.
Listed below, as a special reminder of the worsen who
gave their lives for freedom, are the names of the Ontario
women who sacrificed their lives in the armed services in
world War 11: Joan Mary Bushby, W.A.A.F., Irene Watson,
R.C.A.F., Alice Lorina Anderson, R. C. A. F. , Galifreda Alice
Clark, R.C.A.F., Violet Bertha Shelly, W.A.A.F., Mary
Kathryn Heysel, R.C.A.F. and Hazel Winnifred Seymour,

second degree in 1968. In
1960, he was declared full,
and ordained a priest in the
Spintan Fathers.
From 1961 to 1475, he
worked as a teacher,
department bead, vice-
principal and then prin-
cipal at ]Neil MclNed High
School in Toronto. He was
also appointed bursar for a
brief time, but the less said
about that, the better for all
concerned.
In 1960, he became the
:founding principal of
Regina Pacis High School
in North Yorik. In 1988, he
moved due west to the
wilds of northern
Etobicoke to found another
school, Marian Academy,
also named after Our
Blessed Mother.
Lr 1909, Father Gerry
received the "Teacher of
the Year Award" from the
(U.S.) National Catholic
Education Association at
its international con-
ference, held that year for
the first time outside the
United States. Father
Gerry has also received
other awards but we must
leave out some or we will
begin to intrude upon his
(soon to be published?)
biography.
The "Outstanding
Teacher Award" was
presented to Joseph
Grimaldi a teacher at
Dante Ahghieri Secondary
School in North York -
Born in Toronto of Italian
parentage. Joseph
Grimaldi graduated from
the Umvemty of Toronto
faculty of education in 1960.
Until 1971, he taught
language studies with the
Toronto Board of Educa-
tion and pursued additional
studies in Istanbul, Iran,
and theology at the Univer-
sity of Toronto. Since 1973,
he has taught with the
Metropolitan Separate
School Board. He is
presently a teacher at
Dante Alighieri Academy.

The title seerms singular-
ly appropriate in as nu ch
as we are not by it.
In all honesty we meat ad-
mit that mt>chi of today's
poetry does little for us.
One can admire the
, venneas in some of it but
we simply been
mo any poet later
than John Masefield.
The foregoing is all by
way of conceding that there
might well be mntach of
worth in MsAngelou's
poetry but we can't ap-
preciate it. So call us a
Philbstine if you like but
not before reading this ex-
cerpt-
Preacher, don't send me

to in the sky where rats eat
cats of the leopard type and
Sunday brunch is grits and
tripe.
Rube Goldberg or Eddie
Guest anyone? Oh inciden-
tally, we enjoy both grits
and tripe though admitting
we've newer eaten them
together.
Rats loom largely in The
Plague by Albert Camus.
We recently re -acquainted
ourself with the work in a
new translation by Stuart
Gilbert.
Camus is considered a
major figure in the world of
letters but we've always
considered him rather over
rated while always con-
ceding that we have yet to
read him in the original
Fresh and it might well be
that the effect of his
writings is diminished, to
us, by less than perfect or
even adequate transla-
tions.
Even so, The Plague re-
mains compelling reading
as it details the day to day
existence of a modern city
quarantined by plague car-
ried by rats.
As one might expect,
some of the townspeople
respond with heroism,
some with despoir, some
with downright criminali-
ty-
It can be gloomy reading
but there is a miessage of
more or less hope at its con-
dtsion-
A good book when all is
said and done but surely
Canterbury Tales dealt
with the subject better. Or,
what about Conan Doyle in
Sir Nigel. or Edgar Allan
Poe or ...?
Even a bad translation, if
indeed it is, can't be blam-
ed for the turgidity of Love.

( sic) Thing, a collection of
supposed actin by the
German writer Doris Dor-
rie. Fraulein Dorne it, we
read, an internationally ac-
claimed film maker. She
should stick to making
films.
The lady is fine at
creating mood but fails
miserably in sustaining
narrative. Writers who
become film makers, such
as the late Join Huston, or
Billy Wilder ( another Ger-
man) usually become ex-
cellent film makers. The
reverse is not true and
Love, Pain is proof of the
statement.

LN CONCERT:
Catherine Wilson's Trio
Vivant performs tomorrow
evening at the Jane Mallett
Theatre in the St.
Lawrence Centre. For
those who just might be
unaware, the trio of piano,
violin and cello plays music
probably best described as
Palm Court music. It's not
classical though each
member is capable of
classical performance;
neither is it light. It's just a
nice pleasing mix of the
best of both musical
worlds.
There's another bonus as
well. The three young
ladies are just knockouts to
look at. And, we care not
about ending the sentence
with a preposition.

M.P. Derek Lee Comments
On Immigration Act
These were the remarks of Derek Lee, M.P. on the occa-
sion of the first reading before Parliament of his Private
Members' Bill which would amend the Immigration Act
and procedures governing visitor visa issuance.
An inavasulg segment of Canada's popuiaUion wbs born
outside of Canada. These fellow Canadians all have
parents, brothers, sisters, other relatives and friends in
their country of origin.
Solve years ago, in an attempt to stem the stream of false
refugee claimants, Canada initiated travel visa re-
quirements for persons from a number of countries in-
cluding China, India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Jamaica,
Guyana and the PhiWpines. This Bill is intended to
facilitate visa procedures for such visitors.
Due to the new visa procedures, even bona fide family
visitors are being denied visas. Canada's visa officers are
simply "glue shy„ and feel they must refuse a dispropor-
tionately high number of visas in order to reduce the
number of false refugee claimants.
This Bill would permit a Canadian in this situation to per
sonally stand for and become a surety or guarantor of the
proposed visitor. This specific procedure does not now exist
in the Act for visitor visa applicants.
"The net effect is that Canadians, my neighbours and
yours, are being denied fair access to their families and lov-
ed ones. None of us want this problem to exist, but given
that it does and given that the government has taken no
steps to rectify it, this amendment if adopted will clearly
facilitate many such visits which might otherwise never
take place. In the event this Bill is not adopted by the House
of Commons, I hope it will prod the Immigration Minister
Into action.,,

Canadianism Is First
Multiculturalism is Second
with Rene Soetens_, M.P.
The Canadian dollar is over -valued. Interest rates are
forcing the dollar up. We can't compete with a high dollar.
These are just some of the misconceptions that I have been
hearing lately.
Interest rates are not one reason our dollar is rising.
While Canadian rates are still higher than those of our
Southern 'neighbour, our interest rates are falling at a
faster rate than those in the United States. The Canadian
dollar has continued to rise even as the difference in in-
terest rates has been cut. At the same time, interest rates
do not explain why the dollar is higher today than a year
ago against the currencies of countries which have higher
interest rates than Canada, such as the United Kingdom,
France and Germany.
While there are many reasons why the dollar is strong,
three factors stand out. First, provincial governments have
borrowed heavily in foreign markets this year. Since the
provinces cannot pay their bills in U.S. dollars or German
marks, they have to convert the money they borrow off-
shore into Canadian dollars. That increases the demand for
our currency, and thus increases its value. This is why we
are continuing to stress the importance of living within our
means for all levels of government. The federal govern-
ment has not borrowed in foreign markets in the past four
years. and has been reducing its foreign currency debt.
Second, political uncertainty in the Soviet Union, the Mid-
dle East and elsewhere has increased demand for safe cur-
rencies such as the Canadian dollar. As a result, Asian and
European investors are burying Canadian securities. Given
our small sine. even a small shift in favour of Canadian
securities can have a large impact on our dollar.
Third, illation has fallen, and is expected to fall further.
Low inflation reduces the cost of holding Canadian dollars.
The year-to-year irdlation rate has fallen frau 6.8% in
January of this year to 5.4% in September. Further declines
are expected.
Some groups and individuals have called upon the
government to devalue or peg our dollar at a lower level.
Pegging our dollar to the American dollar at a fixed rate
would mean the surrender of our monetary policy to that of
another country.
Artificially bwering the dollar would not address
Canada's economic problems in any kind of meaningful,
bog -tern► way. It would not deal with the need to'
productivity and control costs, factors which determine
1110hv we will compete in the global marketplace. In addition,
��the dollar artificially lour could lead to
ion-
Tbere is no arguing the fact that the dollar is strong
against the American ant most other overseas currencies.
Presently it is at a 0 -year high against the U.S dollar.
However, interest rates have fallen sharply. The prime is
down to ft. its lorest level in four years. Moreover, with
the exception of a brief five-week period in 1987, the peimie
rate is at its lowest level in thirteen years. Clearly this
demonstrates that the value of the dollar is determined by
market forces. Having said this, l believe there is still room
to lower rates even further and will! pressure the govern-
ment to do so.
