November 20. 1991 Opinion a page for expression for you and us 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.

SUBSCRIPTIONS - $15 per year - 409 a copy. Mainstream Canada 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 GSL Consumers have- in of fat, staged a tax revolt and it's Canada's business community particularly smaller firms along the border, which have paid a painful prior- Fw= in New Brunswick, Ontario and B.C. 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 urnpeeac edmW grief in the form of lost business (which trans- lates into tort jobs). massive initial and ongoing costs„ pro- longation of a deep recession— the lot is, unfortunately, a tong one The federal government would like nothing better than to we the GST become a forgot- ten tax, a non -issue: a 7 per cent solution instead of a 7 per cent sapping. The GSL CF1B has shown, is a tax which does not work. Rather. it has mercilessly ..worked over" small firms, and the result is a weakened independent business sector throughout Canada, and a less prosperous Canadian economy. erre �"?L. sa. rp 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. Here and There $?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.

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.

Help Your Community Wed. ]November 29, 1901 THE NEWS/POST Page 5 2 Honoured By Catholic Principals On Oct. 19th the Catholic Principals' Council of On- tario presented awards to Father Gerald FitzGerald, C.S.SP. and Joseph Grimaldi of the Metropolitan Separate School Board. Father Gerald Fit- zGerald was presented with the "Father John Red- mond Memorial Award for Outstanding Contribution to Catholic Education". He is a man to whom the Catholic principals and vice -principals of Ontario are deeply indebted. Born in County Tipperary, Ireland in 1902, he received his elementary and secon- dary education with the Irish Christian Brothers. After being awarded a scholarship to attend university, he graduated with an honours degree in 1952. After teaching three years in Trinidad, Father Gerry returned to graduate school and was awarded a 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.

We rather like Oklahoma Skyline, a Willie Nelson type travellin' song. Grandpa's Day is a good roots song and one can im- agine it being sung 'round a camp fire. Mississippi Run- ner is a good, two beat rhythms piece featuring the great funky piano of Shawn Pitzel and is our favourite on Side 1. The Little House Out Back is cute and showcases Don Reed fiddle work that could have come straight out of Bob Wills.

Samba is an interesting book for those interested in historical pe Those who wish rely t ns leahow to do the �samba are referred to a good dan- cing school. We learned many years ago at Mosher's. Before leaving the book, it should be pointed out that there are three meanings to the word samba.

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 when I die to some big ghet- 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. Pain and the Whole Damn ( 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. Bitte. 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.

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.,, Rogers Cable TV WED. NOVEMBER 20.

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. 7=vw �C •? :s'-: t •Qs�L ti :•? :'�:=.; {Sr.mv AJ" PHILATELIC SOCIETY The d the mora from.. �S on the first and third Mondays Parish Hall.
