Finance Minister Don Mazankowski has brought down his budget and he feels that he has come up with less borrowing, lower taxes, more jobs and more choice. But we couldn't feel that when %v looked at the budget highlights. We can see our annual deficit of $30 billion remaining the same because there doesn't appear to be large chops off those many grants dished out annually to all kinds of groups who do not need or deserve this money. In our opinion we need a tax reform with less complicated tax forms and a straight tax for everyone regardless of in- come. The GST should be abolished as it is a handicap to business and income tax is more equitable. Dennis Mills. Liberal MP for Broadview• -Greenwood, has been trying to get people behind his "Single Tax" idea which he feels would help get people back to work. As he points out most citizens find the current system is "unfair. arbitrary and incomprehensible". The Reform Party plan to straighten out the financial mess at Ottawa is simple. too Mr. Manning says he would eliminate the national deficit in three years by cutting out all giveaway programs to people and -groups that are not desperately needed. We realize that Mr. Manzankowski needed to produce a budget which the Tories can nde on to Victory in the next election. In our opinion this budget will be considered by the voters as another reason to replace the Tones at Ottawa in the next election. No Freedom Respect Dear Sir Madam. lt's sad to admit but the Ottawa political establishment has little respect for our fundamental freedoms. That became dear on the afternoon of Fn. Apr. 2. when the three major political parties got together and rammed through the House of Commons an electoral gag law which will stifle our freedoms of speech and association during elections - the most critical period in a democracy. This gag law threatens citizens with up to five years' im- pnsonrnent if they independently spend more than SI,o00• individualiv or as a group. to support or oppose parties or candidates during federal elections. To most Canadians this law world represent a draconian attack on freedom. To politicians, however, it's simply a way to control the political debate. The gag law will make federal elections a Virtual closed slop for professional politicians. a monopoly for parties. All independent voices well effectively be silenced.

Under the theme, ••It's Everybody's Business... tiational Consumer Week intends to heighten public awareness of consumer and market place issues. The emphasis will be on the roles of con- sumers, oo-su mers, educators, business and government.

(Report from Parliament from Derek Lee MP Scarborough - Rouge River On Jan. 27 the U.S. Commerce Department slapped pro- visional duties on steel from 19 countries, including Canada. That move will affect about 10 per cent of Cana- dian steel production - worth a cool 5435 -million to this coun- try-. This latest action is further proof - if, in fact• further proof were needed - that the Free Trade deal is defective. Again, if the flaws are not corrected, there will be no end in sight to the trade war on steel. Liberals have repeatedly called for changes in the trade agreement and, in particular, for the inclusion of subsidy and anti-dumping codes. These are Hiles of trade that were omitted from the FTA and NAFTA, but are the very ones that allow this unfair action against our steel producers. Now, even after several other unfair U.S. trade actions, some of which were able to be redressed in settlement pro- cedures. the Conservative government has not made a substantive move on these issues. When Liberal Leader Jean Chretien went to Washington and discussed free trade with former President George Bush he said. "friendship is friendship, but business is business." But so far, the Tory approach to the U.S. - on every issue - is "cap in hand". The Tories have demonstrated a clear inability to deal effectively with the Americans and, as a consequence, have failed Canadian companies - and Canadian workers. The Conservative government failed to follow up on the offer of the outgoing U.S. Ambassador to Canada. to negotiate with American steel producers. The Prime bliruste r has failed to appoint an effective chair for the Steel Caucus - which last met more than two years ago. And he failed to authorize travel for an all -party delegation to Washington to make Canada's point on the steel issue. Given the high level of integration between the Canadian and American steel irdustnes, liberals have proposed a sectoral agreement. modeled on the Auto Pact. This could be made a top priority for Canada's new Ambassador to Washington. General de Chastelain. But given the Tory mecorti of inaction so far. we are not holding our breath. This is a tired government. well past the end of its man. - date. The Tories have failed Canadians on the steel issue - as they have failed Canadians bN their inept handling of the economy. The time has nowcome for the Prime Minister to call an election. Canada needs a new government that will advance the interests of Canadian workers and Canadian industry. .. .. ..... : Y. ij!_-_•_-'-... t:�-.�1-i-_.-._._ Vii•.... .. ... Queen's Park Report Bob Frankford, M.P.P. Scarborough East Reviving Lake Ferry Service? Could a ferry service on Lake Ontario worst and would it be a way of bringing back Port Union has a harbmwi This question has been raised in the corse of discussions about the future of the Port Union area. I passed the suggestion along to the Minister of Transportation for comment. As it happens. the Ministry had commissioned a study in November 19W to look at the feasibility of commuter ferry service on Lake Ontario between Toronto and one or more oche' Ports. The Ministry felt that there has ben a resurgence of interest in water transportation. I have now received a copy of the consultation report. While it makes no mention of Port Union, it is helpful when considering future possibilities there. A bn ef summar) of the report is not encouraging for the proposal. Any vessel would have to be large enough to pro- vide speed and comfort in open lake conditions. This would mean a large capacity vessel, carrying 200 passengers or more. Neither east or west shot, routes are felt to have suf- ficient market to warrant the implementation of a full scale passenger service. GO transit is felt able to absorb most of the demand for public transport. This report appears to put to rest one possible use for Port Union. Maybe there are other port uses that would make sense. I would be happy to provide the report to anyone in- terested and to bear any opinions. Housing Resales Down In March Multiple Listing Service resale housing activity among Canada's 25 major markets was 20 per cent lower in March 1.993 than in March 1992. Figures released by The Canadian Real Estate Association (CREA) show that 19,904 homes traded hands in March compared with 24,869 a year ago. Coalition of Vietnamese National Parties After 18 years domination of Vietnam by violence, force and terrorism, the Vietnam Communist Party has govern- ed the country in dictatorship and poverty to ruin the democractic atmosphere and peaceful life of the people. On Mar. 6, 1993• the current Communist Government once again tried to crack down peaceful popular movement that uprised for Freedom and Democracy of Vietnam. This brutality destroyed the total faith of International Com- munity toward the open-door policy of the V. N. Communist. The Coalition of Vietnamese National Parties led by its supreme commander Hoang Viet Cuong in order to defend these innocent people, has stood up firmly to its principle of Freedom and Democracv for Vietnamese people. In the most desperated moment, the Communist Govern- ment has deployed tanks and its military force to Sai-Gon in order to crush the popular demonstration for democracy. The C.V.N.P. has no choice, except to use its own force to defend the people -right. There were many military engagements between C.V.N.P. and Communist troops. After these military engagements. C.V.N.P. has lost 16 lives and more than 200 wounded. The Communists have lost their 31 secret police in Ba -Ria, Vung-Tau, Sai-Gon. More than 50 members of C.V.N.P. expatriate have been arrested by police during its operation. Meanwhile, the campaign still goes on underground. the C. V. N. P. will maintain its confidence to win the final battle for Freedom and Democracy. The C. V. N. P. has been gain- ing majority support from the people inside Vietnam as well as International Communities. The C.V.N.P. vows to continue the battle until the Freedom and Humanocracy blossom in Vietnam. There were no CNN cameras in Sai-Gorr. Vietnam on Mar. 6. 1993, so the events of that day are not recorded for world-wide distribution. On that day, a peaceful demonstra- tion organized to support democratic movement in ietrnam was crushed by army tanks and troops. A counter force. led by members of the Coalition of Viet- namese National Parties (Lien Ding Cach Mang Viet Nam) tried to defend the many thousands of demonstrators. In the end 16 demonstrators were dead with more than 200 wounded. An estimated 35 special police were believed dead. More than 50 citizens o(Canada, U.S. and France had been arrested. Hoang Viet Cuong. chairman of the C.V.N.P. is a Cana- dian citizen who earned a degree in political science at York University. OMA Says Inept Handling of Replacement Health Cards The Ontario government is creating a tremendous amount of confusion and frustration in the healthcare system because of its inept handling of replacement heuJth cards, says Dr. Michael 'Thoburn. President of the Ontario Medical Association. Replacement cards are being issued by government for a vinery of reasons, such as name changes, turwrng 65. reporting an extended absence away from Ontario, lost or stolen cards. and to replace more than 900.000 incorrect Girds issued initially. These cards all have what is called a -version.. code - one or two alphabetical k4tes in the right- hand corner. "More than 40,000 new replacement cards are being issued each month, but no effective system has been established by government for venfyuig or obtaining cor- rect health -card and version -code numbers•" said Thoburn. Many patients are unaware of the need to have their most up-to-date health card available, particularly in ene gency settirngs .. As a result of this situation, more than 500.000 oHIP claims made by healthcare provides have been rejected to date. This administrative mess is being carried on the backs of hospitals, doctors and all other provides of in- sured services. It is a particularly serious pr•oblern for hospital emergen- cy departments, wtich must act quickly to deliver care, and for specialists, who see many new patients each day. Hours are being spent by health-care workers trying to track down up-to-date health card numbers. Many physi- cians working in emergency departments are getting in- creasingly fed up. ..The government has failed to communicate with the public the importance of always carrying their most recent health card, as it promised it would do," adds Dr. Thoburn. In a letter to Health Minister Ruth Grier, the OMA has asked for a five -point plan to be implemented to alleviate the problem. To date there has been no response from the Minister. "This is not a temporary difficulty related to the start-up of a new program," said Thoburn.

The Parking Authority of North York (PANY) was established in 1989 to main- tain and oversee all municipal on -street and off-street parking facilities in the City of North York. ,Since then it has been financially self-sufficient and consistently generated revenue. In spite of the recession in 1991 the authority operated suc- cessfully and generated a surplus. "It is vitally important that we fulfil our mandate to create sufficient parking in ail areas of North York at no cost to taxpayers and use our surplus to increase available parking space," says Commissioner Frank DiGiorgio. Under an agreement with the City of North Pauline Browes Awarded Honourary Membership The Hon. Pauline Browes, M.P. Scarborough Centre and Minister of State for Employment and Immigration, was awarded an ilonourary Memberhip of the Arthritis Society - Scarborough Branch, at a Public Forum on Apr. 14th.

"For many years the Arthritis Society has worked diligently in Scarborough to assist people m our com- munity who live with this chromic disease. " The membership was presented by Connie Pickard, President of the Bluebird Club, a self-help group for people with ar- thritis.

York, the authority uses half of its annual surplus to expand and improve its parking facilities and gives the remaining half to the City Council for municipal purposes. As a result, ratepayers benefit in a number of ways. It also means that local retailers and businesses can count on the authority to keep pace with the needs of their clientele for affor- dable and available park- ing, now and in the years to come. As North Ycrk's commercial centre con- tinues to lure consumers and companies away from the downtown Toronto core, the availability of adequate parking facilities will become even more im- portant. In 1992 the authority refurbished and enlarged the Brooke lot on Avenue Fid., creating additional spaces and improving the circulation pattern. In ad- dition. the authority pur- chased property located at the southwest quadrant of Avenue Rd. and Roe Ave. where they are presently constructing a new parking facility. Also in 1992, the authority created 166 new on -street parking spaces. Early this year, the authority will install 585 state-of-the-art electronic parking meters in the Up- town and Downtown Yonge Street Corridor. It has already installed user friendly Pay and Display machinery, instead of in- dividual meters, in many of its off street facilities. Both the electronic meters and the Pay and Display equip- ment provide on line audit and usage statistics, allow- ing the authority to monitor the parking needs of North York's commercial district.

This plant is productive; it is profitable. This plant is closing for political, not economic reasons. The Free Trade environment has allowed corporations to move jobs at will, across the border. Already, several hundred thousand jobs have been lost Canada -wide. Consider the economic facts about GAI's Scarborough Van Plant: * $300 million pure profit per ycar $2 billion in the last 10 years (GM figures) * Net wages and benefits $7 per hour less than Flint Workers * Plant and tooling completely paid for * Recently retooled ag sole supplier of extended and chop vans. Our 3, 000jobs have been sacrificed to Free Trade! PHONE 750-2623 CAW �-= TCA CANADA FAX 750-2827 Page 6 THE NEWS POST Wed. April 29, 1993 Bill Watt's Worlds ON STAGE: Beau Jest, the title of the comedy currently in run at the Leah Posluns Theatre, is better than a more or less clever pun on the French expression Beau Geste, noble gesture. It's a nice desciption of the ploy of a young Jewish lady to keep her anxious parents at bay by presenting an unknown to her, gentile ac- tor to them as her beau. His knowledge of Judaism has been gleaned from perfor- mances in Fiddler on the Roof. As we commented in a previous review of the play in another setting• it's a reverse spin on the venerable Abie's Irish Rose and arguably even funnier given that the lat- ter is now more than just a tad dated. Carol Lempert is the young lady with the false beau. In character she is a long w•ay removed from the flocks and herds of the Hol' Land and in performance, stratospherically above the mundane efforts to which she sometimes dedicates her efforts as a member of the Comedy on Rye troupe. Her presence is confident. her timing, split second. her delivery, effective. Total effect? Sheer pleasure for the audience. Miriam %eAtwuLse and Lara' Solway wisely resist. or have been so directed by Reva Stern. the temptation to descend into caricature as her parents. Close to it mind you but not over the edge. Listen for Miss Newhouse's comments about her absent grand- children: watch for %Ir. Solway's Act Three, Scene Two entrance. Both are delicious bits of pure theatre. Hal Eisen contributes nicely as a bemused brother and son divorced Andrew Lewarne is chuckle - making as the lady's real bov friend. We didn't sav the plot was simple. Quite the surprise of the evening, however, is a long. lean drinkof-water named Raffael Pacitti as the surrogate beau. With no evident effort he ambles through his role in a man- ner, mildly hilarious. Beau Jest itself is gently hilanous. It s not a farce though Playwright James Sherman manages the not inconsiderable task of presenting a play with a premise of religious and family values in a manner most entertaining. Good play. good perfor- mances, good production values. Good deal all 'round. AU MORD: As this is being written. there is an imaginary par- rot on our left shoulder• a ditto patch over the right eye, a brass earring on the left lobe and a peg -on -the - leg of one's choice. And. we're strongly tempted to utter "Ahoy me hearties! ". Yes, we've been to the '93 '94 launch of the Markham Theatre for Per- forming Arts. The theme of the evening was nautical and while the decorative signal flags wouldn't pass muter in the Swiss Navy, it was a barrel -even a beer barrel-ffun. On stage hosts were General Manager Marc Quinn dressed like an ad- miral of the Ruritanian Navv and Chair Karen Mugiord. a Joan Collins knokalike. quite sparky and jaunty in cruise clothing. Together they introduced the invited audience to a video presentation of the next season followed by live performances by some of the artists. It's an ambitious and in- teresting program of events, too long to be listed here in its entirety but we'll be mentioning individual ares as and atien. For n(yw•, be aware that among the scheduled ar- tists are The Irish Rovers. Bobby Curtola• The Shubert Ensemble of Lon- don in their North American debut, I Musici de Montreal, John Allan Cameron. Gerry and The Pacanakers, The Rankin Family does Walt Grealis know about this') and Ballet British Columbia. There's also an interesting schedule of plays including Colours In The Storm• a musical about Group of Seven painter Tom Thom- son. For those who are unaware, the Markham Theatre is easily found at the confluence of Warden Ave. and Number 7 Highway. Plenty of free parking. too, which is a �F. a Around and About Your Dining & Entertainment Guide definite plus. The Column looks for- ward to many pleasurable evenings there this season. Now, if only we could get this damned parrot off our shoulder' ON RECORD: Despite respectable reviews, the motion picture Swing Kids (Hollywood Films) didn't do well at the box office. We suspect poor distribution and indifferent promotion but, what ever the reason, it didn't do well and will likely show up in video stores within the fort- night. For the many who didn't see it, Swing Kids takes place in the pre -World War II Germany and is about the efforts of the Nazi government to eliminate Swing music and the sup- posed rebellion it engendered in the young who enjoyed listening and especially, dancing to it. Warner Music has sent us the sound track t Hollywood label ► and we're compelled to say that if the movie had captured the excitement of same, it might not have suffered its urdesem ed early demise. This is just a smashing collection of the swing tunes that fiom-ished from approximately 193: to 1950. One should point out that the record is all that its title implies, a sound track, and some of the original nwod compositions by James Horner are a bit heavy go- ing. But, once you get to the cuts by the Bennv Good- man oichestra, the ear is surrounded with pleasure. One hears Swingtime in The Rockies, Flat Foot Moogie and others. Also worthy of mention are the re -orchestrations by Robert Hraft of familiar standards, particularly Jumpn' At The Woodside. This auditor places it above the, till now, definitive ver- sion by Count Basie. The Shout and Feel It cut also swings mightily. Have a listen to this sound track CD and you'll make a beat to the video store to rent or even pur- chase the movie.

In 1951, Sir Ernest Mac- Millan, conductor of the Toronto Symphony Or- chestra wrote a poem for St. Ann's grade 8 students to recite at Massey Hall for a Choral Speaking Contest which resulted in first place honours over all Metro schools. During the depression when money was scarce, St. Ann School flourished with pride and laughter and guidance from our wonderful specialized teachers. The junior pupils played in the rhythm band which consisted of sym- bols, clackers, triangles and tambourines while the seniors sang in a glee club. The choir sang in the church for Christmas and Easter services. (Oh we thought we sounded so good!). Concerts were a part of our growing years and students shared their talents on stage with square dancing, tap danc- ing, Irish jigs, accordians, violins, guitars, and vocal solos and choirs. Graduation celebrations were a major event and many a grade 8 class was sent off to the tune of We wish you luck as we wave you goodbye" sung by the entire student body with many a tear. Miss M. P. Hay (1943-54) our music teacher gave us an appreciation of classical music. Discipline was strict but we learned the three "R's". Respect for the teaching staff was part of our upbringing. A 24-hour Centennial Hotline - 638-99M - has been set up for any information pertaining to the 100 year celebration. Any memorabilia should be forwarded to the school at 55 Howie Avenue, Toron- to, Ontario M4M 2H9 with your name and phone number. All treasures will be returned.

Apr. 17, 120 members of 20 Pony Clubs took part in the Central On- tario Region Quiz at Napanee High School in Napanee. The Rouge Valley, Leitchcroft, Sun- nybrook, Ajax and Picker- ing Pony Clubs, all with members from this area, placed their teams among the top six in one or more levels of competition. Pony Club is an interna- tional movement for young people up to the age of 21, offering a variety of horse - related activities. It has been established in Canada since 1934. in Quiz, Pony Clubbens compete as teams, without borses or ponies. Quiz tests knowledge, more than skills. Quiz has three parts: a written test, which each competitor does in- dependently: a visual test where competitors have to identify strange, obscure and unusual objects of a horsy nature by sight, again individually. and an oral test where each team gets to confer before answering - much like an equestrian version of "Reach for the Top". There are generally three members on a team, with the top two individuals' scores going toward their team's total. In calculating the final standings. the written portion counted for 50%. the visual fox 20% and the oral for 3D%. The three divisions in Quiz are based on age and knowledge level. The D level is for the youngest and least experienced children, the C level for the intermediates, and the A ' B level for the real experts. Teams can also enter display projects based on themes specified in the en- try form, for a separate competition. A B projects had the theme Annual Y'etennary Routines For Maintenance", C projects were on "Stable Design And Contruction" and the D projects on ..Feeding Your Pony Club Mount". Local teams competing saw Ajax come in third in A B Overall. Toronto and North York teams won 2nd in C Overall and 2nd in C Display Project.

The Louvre Celebrates Its Bicenteeaw Nov. 18. 19M marks the Louvre s 200th anniversary as a museum. and an ex- hibition called "The Louvre According to the Masters" devoted entirely to its history is planned to celebrate the event. Coin- ciding with the anniversary is the re-operung of the Richelieu wing, home to the Ministry of Finance un- til 1989 and soon to be dedicated to French Pain - Ling. confirmatim that the decade-long billion dollar renovation program known as "It Grand Lou%Te" is nearing its 1996 completion target. The Louvre originated in 12D4 as a dungeon, built by Philippe Auguste to protect Paris from the invasions of the Normans. Occupying about a quarter of the land the museum covers today, the citadel housed an arsenal, a treasury and a prison all built around a central courtyard. Since then, Royals and other well known people have influenced the Louvre's architecture, af- fecting the way we see it to- day, including Charles V, Francois I, Henri II and his widow Catherine de Medicis, Louis III, Napoleon and now Presi- dent Francois Mitterand. When the French Revolu- tion began in 1789, Louis XVI was forcefully moved from Versailles and install- ed in the Tuileries Palace near the Louvre. At the time of the fall of the monarchy in 179►1, a com- mission was formed to organize the Louvre'stran- sition from royal residence to museum, and on Nov. 18, 1793, less than one year after Louis XVI climbed the steps to the guillotine, the French citizens opened Wed.
