Opinion a page for expression for you and us Is There Racism? by Bob Watson The recent episodes in downtown Toronto have created a lot of dialogue about racism in Metro Toronto. Dudley Laws and his fewhundred supporters tried to give the impression that their view about "white" people being racist was a popular view in the "black- community. Metro Toronto is probably the one city in the world with such a wide variety of races living together and living together with such little friction between each group. Our wonderful urban area doesn't need a Dudley Laws and his couple of hundred supporters to create a situation where racism is promoted and inter -racial contacts destroyed. This is Canada where everyone should be friendly with everyone regardless of race, colour of skin or religion. However, we do not believe a provincial law on racism should be passed by the Rae government because the Dudley Laws gang campaigns on the front lawn. Racism in one form or another has existed in this whole world since mankind started. Anyone who can't stand our way of life should leave this beautiful land and go back home and aggravate their own kind. This is Canada and all immigrants should attempt as soon as possible to become good Canadians. The Dudlev Laws aanR should "n t1; - not fight us' Here and There Is It "inappropriate-'?

News From Ottawa from Derek Lee MP Scarborough -Rouge River Remember 19689 Back then the Conservative govern- ment promosed us that the Free Trade Agreement with the United States would enable Canadian business to be com- petitive through guaranteed access to U.S. markets. That would mean jobs, jobs, jobs. But, instead of increased sales for local firms, we have seen layoffs and bankruptcies. We have seen companies relocating to the U.S. Now communities such as Alliston, Ontario. Becaneour, Quebec and the interior of northern B.C. and Vancouver Island could be hurt very badly as a result of current trade disputes. Increased costs for duties. decreased access to markets and the high costs for duties. decreased access to markets and the high cost of our social support system will mean Canadian companies - and, most importantly, their employees - will continue to feel the ef- fects of Mulroney's great Canadian sellout. When the FTA was negotiated, the definition of "subsidy" was unclear and ambiguous. This flaw in the agreement has allowed American firms to harass Canadian industries such as steel. lumber and pork. For example. the U.S. Com- merce Department ruled on March 6. 1992 that Canadian softwood lumber exports are subsidized. As a result, soft- wood lumber will be subject to a 14 8 per cent duty which Kill cost Canadians more than $-loo million and could spell the end of the softwood lumber industry. The U.S. has also slapped countervailing duties on magnesium manufactured in Quebec because it claims that cheap power rates are an unfair subsiciv. Rules of origin are not spelled out clearly in the Free Trade Agreement. Consequently. on March 2, 1992 U.S. Customs ruled that Honda Civics made in Canada did not meet the requirement of having 50 per cent North American content and therefore would be liable for $30 million in dirty. The key issue in the dispute is whether the engines in the cars should be counted as North American content. The engines which are produced in the U.S. are manufactured mainly with material imported into the U.S and do not qualify as American-made. Chapter 18 of the FTA. which will be used to resolve both disputes, is also usadegaate. It states that disputes handled under this chapter are not bundling unless both countries agree. Therefore, even d Canada wins the recent dispute on content rules, there is no guarantee that the U.S. will live by the ruling. It is obvious that the trade deal between Canada and the United States does not benefit Canadians - even the mat who negotiated the deal are now admitting that. The only way to save our nation's jobs is to rectify the flaws in the Letter To The Editor Our neighbouring country's practices are not all desirable. If our sort or daughters were living next to undesirable influence or neighbours we would be very con- cerned about wrong habits spreading: instead we seem to worship habits because of their source. But we must be selective and not be overwheined - in some cases we should break the tie. We may have to stiffer some at the break but not nearly as much as we would suffer if we accept some habits and their consequences. Canada is in financial difficulty and our provincial government is considering gambiuhg casinos to rectify our Problem. The provincial NeA Democartic Party at one time would never even have considered gambling as a source of revenue. A country or person that is not able to live within a budget, that is not necessarily due to their own lack of effort or itdtstn . it is due to usury. The more desperate the budget becornes the more desperately we turn to the game of chance, gambling is another extension of usury. Our economic philosophy has to change, that calls for tolerance and confidence on the part of many more peo- ple, Our provincial government may merely and temporarily be trying to direct some of the money Canada's Federal Government has attracted and collected through various means and will not now share. Our New Democratic Party Government has never in the past condoned gambling. If in desperation they consider this attempt at gambling casinos as a temporary measure it becomes so entrenched it can't be curtailed or remedied later. Other undesirable vices follow, corruption breeds corruption. Our hardships and sacrifices become more unbearable in the future than the remedial tax restructuring we would have to bear now. The unfortunate consequence is the government that would app- ly these remedies for today would be voted out of office for tomorrow by an opportunist party. Yours truly, Mike Boychyn 35 Wandering Trail Scarborough, Ontario MIX iK4 Mainstream Canada A sad story about Canada By Michael Wycks This is a story of widespread suffering. This is a story of tax annihilation. This is a story about Canada. Once upon a time, Canada was a country with millions of satisfied citizens Sure, there were the usual problems -icy winters, mosquito -filled summers, spo- radic unemployment, rising food prices -but for the most part, fife in the "Grew White North" was considered good. Life changed -governments ran up huge deficits, recessions raged. unemployment levels spi- ralled, business and personal bankruptcies shot up, and a tax avalanche fell heavily upon the People. Bleakness ruled the land. Politicians argued amongst themselves about a solution, and of course, none was found. in rode a would-be knight on a white charger, otherwise known as the gover- nor of the Bank of Canada, to try to rescue the country from its critical state Interest rates were juggled. the inflation rate fluctuate!, and the Canadian do1w climbed up and ups After much pain and discomfort, inflation was brought under control and itteest rates stabi- lized at a reasonable kveL The governor bad fitnDy met his objective The thinking was that a period of low inflation with tow interest rates would work magic on Canada's economy and rescue it from mediocrity. But the knight was no Merlin and the economy continued to l anguish- This story continues with Canada now experiencing a Period of low inflation. In January of this year the annual inflation rate was just 1.6 per cent, the lowest level in more than two decades. But there's still a problem, and it's a big one: three-quarters of January's inflation rate is made up of taxes. The Bank of Canada's index, published in its monthly review, suggests most of Janu- ary's increase in the cost of liv- ing resulted from levies like the Goods and Services Tax, provincial sales taxes, and tobacco and gasoline taxes. As inflation has declined, taxes have quickly come to account for a much larger share of the overall increase in the cost of living. One can readily con- clude that inflation will remain lower still because of the beat- ing consurners are taking from taxes. Even with the slow eco- nomic recovery seemingly now at hand. you can't atpect con- suaners to mcitase their demand for goods and services when so much of their income is being pilfered by taxes. The monetary policy of the Bank of Canada can be an important tool for managing the country's economy. How- ever, when the public is mun- dated with taxes, no amount of magical monetary policy will titre our economic ills. The Canadian people ase etperienc- Ing tax adnaushon and one need only look at the cross-border 'gypping bonanza and the bur- sconnig underground economy to witness how this coarse t- mnent is playing itself out. This is indeed a sad story. Unfortunately, it's no simply fiction; for Canadians, it's the cruelest of realities Until our elected leaders address this heavy tax burden, there will be no happy ending for Canada.

And that dream come true is Blue Jays Kids Day. For the past nine years, tens of thousands of children have watched and squealed in delight as they spilled mustard on their shirts and did "the wave" with hordes of other screaming farts. The Blue Jays Baseball Club, the Variety Club of Ontario - Tent 28, and the Ontario Ministry of Com- munity and Social Services have teamed up for the tenth year in a row to make this special day happen. The Toronto Blue Jays have donated the seats for the game against the Seat- tle Mariners. The Variety Club, the world's largest children's charity, covers transportation costs from designated points in On- tario to the game. The ministry provides staff to co-ordinate the project and McDonald's Restaurants will donate ballpark franks and refreshemtrs. "A lot of people have become involved during the last ten years because they know it's a fun and ex- citing day," said ministry co-ordinator, Lloyd Kishino. "This is one of the most rewarding and unique projects organized for the kids by Variety Club." Metro Councillor Marie Labatte, Chairman of the Metropolitan Transporta- tion Committee has an- nounced that the long- awaited feasibility study to implement a network of reserved lanes throughout Metro for taxis, buses, car- pools and bicycles is com- pleted. "'This is the report to get is moving," said Coun- cillor Labatte, "It focuses on traffic management measures and ways to en- courage people to use public transit." High Occupancy Vehicle (HOV I lanes are curb lanes reserved for the use of taxis, buses, bicycles. and cars carrying three or more people. Where possi- ble, these lanes will be in- corporated when a road widening takes place. HOV lanes were implemented on Don Mills Road in December 1991. Variations of the HOV concept are in place on Bay Street. Eglin- ton Avenue and Dundas Street. "Metro is breaking new ground with this initiative. No other jurisdiction has a reserved lane network to the extent proposed in this report . " The report oon- cludes that such a network will help to improve transit efficiency during peak periods. and thereby at- tract new riders. As well, it will provide an incentive to cr a►te and support carpool- ing- Councillor Labatte stressed that for this pro- ject to go ahead, a funding commitment is needed.

May 13, IV12 Bill Watt's Worlds ON YOUR TOES: The National Ballet has concluded its Spring Season at The O'Keefe with a program of four short works: two of them new. two of them familiar. Let's dispose of -cops, consider - the former first. About the best that one can say of Split House Geometric is that the title is unconsciously hip and in- deed, suggestive. Watching it, one truly feels like split- ting the house i.e. observ- ing the classic Navy rmnoeuvre of getting the hell out of there. Split presents two couples dancing to the music of Arvo Part's Fratres for Violin & Piano. Well, it's dancing only in the sense that the movements are reasonably fluid and rhythmic. But there is nothing attractive about them. On the evening of our at- tendance, the quartet of Sarah Green, Greta Hodgkinson. Peter Ott - mann and Johan Persson gave an excellent best in performance but it was in a vain cause. If one had wanted to see apache danc- ing. one world have gone to Hell. uh Hull. ( Come to think of it the two are not dissimilar.) John Alieyme has been the Resident Choreographer of The Na- tional but has now accepted a position as Artistic Direc- tor of Ballet British Cohrn- bia. the thee to B.C. Mr. A. Good luck. but no more Split Houses please. Glen Tetley took on an obvious challenge in choreographing Stravin- sky's Rite of Spring, par- ticulariy after a former Na- tional Resident Choreogmpner, Constantin PWsatas had done it so well a few seasons ago. Stravinsky is to music as Salvadore Dab is to pain- ting. We are beginning to think that Mr. Tetley is to choreography as Bob Hope is to hoofing. reasonable skill but tongue firmly in cheek. Mr. T.'s Rite presents the company in flash coloured outfits suggesting nudity cavorting around in some supposed underground in preparation of the ascen- sion of The Chosen One. Muscular men and almost equally muscular women make all sorts of movements. some of them suggestive, some com- bative, none of them pleas- ing to the eye. Look, we don't wish to be outrageous but watching the work could make us think of nothing more, or less, than Monty Python's Gay Boys in Bondage. Get the picture? To be fair, the work does demand superb muscular coordination, strength and skill on the part of all the dancers but then, so does gymnastics which has no place on any stage in any theatre unless so billed. To be honest as well. one trust admit being offended by the costuming. We don't mean what it was meant to suggest but rather what it reveals. Everyone knows that ballerinas are not voluptuous. If they ever seem so it's because of costuming. Ballerinas are quite muscular and to see them so presented is to take away much of the magic of the stage. During the presentation of Rite we tried to concen- trate our mind upon the darling buds of May. The eyes. however, saw nothing but tiny knobs on saplings. A most disappointing work. for us anyway and. we suspect, much of the au- dience. The applause was perfunctory and for the ef- forts of the dancers, not the wok itself. Paquita, ah Paquita. what a gorgeous piece of theatre in general and ballet in particular! It's really a long diver- tumeme,nt to the music of Minkus and Drigo as choreographed by Natalia Makarova after Peitips. Yet, it's a divertissement in the grand manner: romantic dancing, elegant movements, superb presentation - Kimberley Glassco paired with Rex Harr- ington as the principal dancers arc, as always, thrilled with their elegance. (There's that word again Messrs. Alleyne and Tetley. ► Yet, it was the work of the four Ladies of the quartet danc- ing the variations who won the hearts of the audience. They were Jennifer Four- nier, Margaret Illman• Sarah Green and Chan Hon Goh. Miss Green's Varia- tion III can only be describ- ed as spectacular. And. Paquita can only and best be described as what ballet should be.

CLOSED MONDAYS Around and About Your Dining &Entertainment Guide Jeremy Ransom danced les pas de deux from Ddibes Sylvia. This was immediately after Split House and we cannot escape the feeling that it was so scheduled in order to keep the audience after the earlier work. If so, the reasoning worked and one is grateful that it did. Sylvia is one of the great ballets and Iko Ddibes is one of the great composers of music for the ballet. Sylvia is arguably his finest work. The choreography is by Ilan'. and Balanchine after Eglevsky. All that is need- ed for a complete triumph is fine dancing. Enter Miss Ulman and Mr. Ransom with their almost patented -and we make no apology for the repetition of the word - elegance. The two are delightfully matched in both talent and attrac- tiveness. Four works: two suc- cesses. In baseball parlance that's paying 500 and that's not bad. SUNLMER THEATRE: Your correspondent has never allowed himself, or anyone else within his po arnetre, to forget that show business is 50% show and 50% business. The reason "the show must go onfor instance. is that management has no intention of giving an au- dience its money back. ► Yet, it's a magical business and most of les associated with it, bowe -er miargioal- ly. are so because we love the magic of it all. Only that magic can account for a pleasant experience at the recent media con- ference nicely hosted by G.M. Martin Onrot to an- nounce The O'Keefe's Sum - One of the four slows is the award winning City of Angels. It's a send up - maybe -of Hollywood in its gold years and the great private eye flicks: sort of a Busby Berkeley musical as it might have been written by Raymond Chandler. The male lead will be played by BaM Williams seen a few years ago at Stage West in Romance, Romance. The female lead will be Betsy Joslyn. She took her Monday off day to fly up to Toronto to sing a couple of numbers from the show ac- companied at the piano by its musical director. She was and, we're sure, is sen- sational. Now, just consider. Here's a young, attractive lady with a day off from a gruelling show: yet, she flies up from New York for a noon hour presentation of two songs. That's dedication! That's show business! Two of the other offer- ings are Cats and Evita. Evidently Toronto can't get enough of them. Cats played to a 92% audience last summer. Of particular note is the return of Valerie Perri in the title role of Evita. The fourth show is The Music of Andrew Lloyd Webber with Michael Crawford, the original Phantom of the Opera. We Deed hardly say more. Still, we hasten to add that each show is booked for an initial short run. That means that none will "Amadeus" A Magnificent Production by Frank Knight The difference between professional and communi- ty theatre is not matey but artistic discipline and pro- duction values. Too often in community theatre, the lack of production values in a show is due to lack of knowledge and/or training. Stage Centre Produc- tions Artistic Director, Mr. L. Garth Allen, is a man whose theatre knowledge and integrity is beyond question. This is shown time and again in their pro- ductions which are of a very high standard and professional appearance. In their fmal production of their 15th anniversary season they chose the play 'Amadeus" by Peter Shaf- fer a leading British playwright. In a provocative way it deals with the confronta- tion between Antonio Salieri, court composer at the court of Austrian Emperor Joseph 11 and Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. Peter Shaffer has speculated on this confron- Ubw and supported by certain circumstantial evidence, has woven a tale of breathtaking dramatic power. The setting of the play is. of course, 1'th and Ilea century. Keeping in mind what I stated previously. this is a magnificent production. It has an integral unit set of such beauty and at- masphere to take your breath away. Tlx group built everyone of the chandliers, the furniture, the special props, and even the spinnet! All the costumes (which are beautifully coordinated)tbe hats, the wigs and even the shoes! The lighting, sound and whole presentation is superb. On the artistic side. the 23 actors showed be extended regardless of custom if other scheduling doesn't permit. So, don't wait to purchase tickets. Get them now. You'll be sorry if you don't. War- ranted! L AF F TIME: With that cut line, we should be back writing ads for the old Casino burles- que theatre. (It was on the site of the present Sheraton Centre. Progress? ) Anyway, after leaving The O'Keefe we found our way to Stop 33 of Sutton Place at the invitation of Mary Arsenault. The occa- sion was the media an- nouncement of the People's Comedy Festival. Running from June 12th to June 21st at several locations throughout the city, the festival will welcome -u- tually the best of North American comedians. Among them will be Mort Sahl, George Carlin, Louie Anderson, Jim Carrey, Yakov Smirnoff, Sandra Bernhard, "Wierd Al" Yankovic, Tim Conlon and. .George Burns. It's been stated that this will be Mr. Burns' first ap- pearance in Toronto since 1927. It might be his first performing appearance since then but he and discipline and wonderful ensemble work and I wish I could list the whole pro- gram. Enough to say is that the two main characters. Salieri played by Roger Kell and Mozart played by Ken Godrnere were skilful in their acting and characterization and gave us two outstanding perfor- mances. Judy Gans gave us her usual lovely stage presence and acting ability as Mozart's wife. This is a $'must see" show for anyone who is interested in live theatre. Tickets are still available for this last week. The show deserves a 100', sellout. It is presented at the Fairview Library Theatre, 35 Fair- view Mall Dr. tonight, May 13th at 8 p.m. and Thur.

Toronto Youth Fair At Exhibition Stadium Conklin Shows and Inver City Angels are combining the traditional midway with innovative arts pro- gramming for a major fun- draising event. the fust of its kind in Toronto.

Young children's arts programming featuring Gracie Alien were here during Worid War 11 during a Victory Loan drive. While interviewing (ac- tually we were just chat- ting) festival producer Marc Breslin he mentioned that the appearance of Mr. Burns here is due largely to the efforts of local pro- ducer Jeff Latimer of Wagner, Latimer, Follows Productions. He'll appear at The O'Keefe on June 21st as the grand finale to the festival. Mort Sahl to George Burns. Just imagine. BILLY D.

In promoting the Interna- tional Conference of Physical Activity, Fitness and Health held in Toronto May 10-13. Dr. Graham says Canadian children and youth could be more active and healthy. "Active chimer, with support, will hopefully become active adults," says Dr. Graham. "'Itne challenge is instilling a healthy attitude towards regular physical activity at a young age. especially among young women who tend to leave active lifestyles behind as they become teenagers. "However, there must be the political and societal will to make this happen. All sector of our society whether it be health, education, sport, fitness, recreation, government, private industry or volunteer organizations niust work together to have a real impact on the en- vironment that affects our younger generation," he says.

That's when EARN - the Executive Advancement Resource Network holds its weekly meetings. Whether they've been laid -off, given the golden handshake or fired, they all have one thing in common: the desire to work again. Sharpening job search skills, focusing on the right job and developing con- tacts for a 1900s profes- sional search are the primary concerns at EARN meetings. Weekly guest speakers cover topics such as job lead develop- ment, resume writing, in- terviewing skills and motivation. Plus, a part of each meeting is devoted to networking, sharing leads and building new friend- ships. As EARN founder Col- leen Clarke explains. "Our self-esteem and identity are tied so closely into our work that when we're unemployed we often feel like non -entities. The net- work allows people to feel a part of something that's constructive and positive." Clarke began EARN with a small meeting of unemployed executives in October, 1990, and since then the group has registered more than 650 members, 135 of whom have gone on to new jobs and many others are on contract or temporary assignment. Clarke explains that high levels of unemployment among professionals and executives have an impact far beyond their family and friends. "1t filters right down to every kitchen table in Canada. Spending and investment are cut from every level of the economy. The recession becomes a way of life. Members of EARN are the people who hire others: creators, innovators and entrepreneurs. It's vitally important that they con- tinue to be active. and we're here to help them combat the problems they face in finding employ- ment. "People facing a long, difficult job search tend to lose their focus, their net- works dry up and their self esteem takes a plunge. EARN helps them learn new job search techniques, refreshes their networks and introduces them to a support group." In addition to providing support to members, EARN also offers a resource for prospective employers: free career op- portunity postings read avidly by a large and talented personnel pool. And for the significant others of EARN members, bi-monthly get-togethers offer a chance to share their concerns and coping strategies. EARN's weekly meetings take place every Friday from I to 4 p.m at the Toronto North Central Library•, ltd floor. 40 Or- chard View Blvd. near Yonge and Eglinton. New members are welcome and are asked to corse at 12:30 for orientation.

The Lieutenant Governor of Ontario, the Eon. Henry Jackman, O.St.J.. B.A., LLB.. L. L D.. listened as the annual reports were highlighted. In 1991, [ODE in Ontario raised and spent over $1.4 million and donated over 445,000 work- ing hours of service to this province. The total sum expended by [ODE members in On- tano for Services work was $783,500 including 322 car- tons of articles from the Provincial Packing Room. A special Services project for 1991 was directed to In- terval House in Kingston, a Crisis Centre that urgently required repairs and renovations to flooring, bathrooms and a play area for children. $9,000 was spent on this project. The Canadian Associa- tion of Genetic Counsellors extended "immense gratitude" to the Provin- cial Chapter of Ontario IODE for the generous financial support in fun- ding the compilation of the "National Directory of Support Groups". This directory has been distributed to a wide range of medical professionals and is for the first time linking families of children with rare health concerns. In keeping with IODE's 92 year history of being proudly Canadian, good citizenship was recognized. Provincial Constable Ver- non D. Fleming of the Tillsonburg Detachment was this year's LODE On- tano Police Community Relations Award recipient. Concern for this pro- vince's best natural resource, children, was ex- tended to the Robarts School in London once again in providing for the Enrichment Computer Camp for Communication Exceptionalities.

'HIS WEEK Al from Ottawa with Rene Soetens, M.P. Major changes are afoot at Canada Post. The Corporation has - in the past 10 years - developed from a $600 million a year burden on the taxpayer to a profit making business that is recognized globally as a leader in postal and com- munications technology. The employees are the people who have made this possible, and the federal government believes that as the Corporation enters its second decade, the employees should be given the opportunity to share in the fruits of their labour. To this end, the government recently took the first step to allow employees of Canada Post to own shares in the Crown Corporation. Harvie Andre, the Minister responsible for Canada Post. introduced legislation enabling Canada Post Corporation to create an Employee Share Savings Plan to allow employees to invest in the company. Mr. Andre stated that "Canada Post has made fundamen- tal changes to improve service and reliability. These are changes that Canadians demanded. Ensuring employee participation through a share savings plan is a common- sense next step to ensure that improvement continues... Improved customer service and financial self-sufficiezncy are the major factors in the Canada Post turnaround. Canada Post is now recognized as a modern, effective postal system able to compete with the best in the world at a price that Canadians can afford. The Corporation will con- tinue to develop new technologies in order to meet new markets. In the process, employees will be fundamental to building on that achievement as the corporation expands its courier. parcel. and mail information transfer businesses. Indeed, studies in the private sector and numerous coun- tries w'orid-wide have shown that participation through plans such as this is a strong motivating factor in employee contribution to customer mer service and economic perfor- mance. The federal government believes that allowing employees to participate through an Employee Share Sav- ings Plan will usher in a new partnership between manage- mnent and employees at Canada Post. The results will be im- provements to both morale and service in Canada's postal system. - -. • - • - . • . �f �:::•:::::.::::::::,'titi -s• :�: ti•:: � :ail.-�r%n:�i:� •X� ADULT LEISURE PROGR.k%IS The Ajax Recreation Department has put together some interesting spring courses.

Drug For Treating Schizophrenia Clozapine, a drug for treating schizophrenia, is to be pro- vided to the Ontario patients most likely to benefit from it, Health Minister Frances Lankin has announced. The drug is intended for patients who cannot tolerate or are not helped by other drug treatments for schizophrenia. Although not all patients who try clozapine find it helpful, studies show that those who do respond often see a dramatic improvement in quality of life.
