Nlav .i, lwl Opinion a page for expression for you and us Yours To Flee Dear Sir Madam, Perhaps the motto on Ontario license plates should be changed to -Yours To Flee". After all. a recent Environics poll of 1,006 Ontarians revealed that a shocking 41% of them would seriously con- sider moving out of the province if they could afford'it. What's more 50% of Metro Toronto residents and 54% of those aged 25 to 34 said the same. Even 37 per cent of :NDP supporters said they would leave if they could! Why do so many seem to have a sense of hopelessness about their future in this province, once a province of oppor- tunity' The poll also showed that 76% of Ontarians believe the provincial debt is growing so quickly that it will soon reach a crisis proportion and another 6% say we're already there. Ontarians place the blame for this dismal situation squarely on the shoulders of Premier Bob Rae and the -DP. In fact, only three per cent of Ontarians had a lot of confidence in Premier Rae's ability to manage the pro - vine's finances. On the positive side, 61% of Ontarians supported the widespread privatization of government assets and ser- vices. Even more encouraging. 67% of union members and 54% of 1 -DP supporters backed widespread privatization. These Emironics poll results were responses to questions commissioned by Ontanans for Responsible Government. The Premier should heed the views of Ontanans. aban- don his destructive policies and adopt the right ones to get our province back on track. :Merely cutting some public service jobs and spending a little less on them is nothing more than a band aid solution. Premier Rae needs to funldamentaliv restructure govern- ment. If he isn't prepared to do so, he should resign and let someone else do the job. Yours truly. Colin Brown, President. '.National Otimpm' l',oalition Report From Parliament from Tom Wappel M.P. Scarborough West Tom Wappel, MP for Scarborough West, comunented on the Conservative Government's 19913 Budget. "For nine years, this government has claimed to be the champion of deficit reduction. In reality. quite the opposite is true In the budget of February. 199u, the government predicted that this year's deficit would drop to $21 billion. It was wrong' In the February 1991 budget, it predicted that the deficit would be $24 billion this year It was wrong' In the February 1992 budget, it predicted that the 1992-19913 deficit would be $:-.,.5 billion. It was %Tong' In the December. 1992 Economic Statement, the Government predicted that the 1992-1993 deficit would be $34.4 billion. It w -as wrong' Today the Minister annouriced that the predicted 1992-199e3 deficit will he $35.5 billion' This is a dif- ference of over S14 billion between the 1990 prediction and todav's reality." commented Wappel ''Most of the budget's forecasts are five years into the future. In view of this governments track record when predicting budget deficits. these forecasts cannot be trusted nor relied upon." continued Wappel "This is clearly a pre-election, stay the course budget. The Conservative Government is treading water until its new leader is chosen in June. Unfortunatei_v, it is the coun- try that has to suffer while forced to wait for the internal politics of the Conservative Party to resolve themselves," concluded Tom Wappel.

Scarborough last ing of the profitable plant really good reason why this Watson I Most Decided Voters Want Manning For PM Reform Party spokesmen say they were 'pleased but not surprised' that a Toronto radio station listener survey (Apr. 21 I showed that the greatest number of decided voters said they would vote for Preston Manning as the next Prime Minister of Canada. Radio station CFRB said its survey showed 29% of respondents supported Manning while i^ favoured Jean Chretien. 16% supported Kim Campbell and on1-v 3% thought Audrey McLaughlin would make a good Pnrne Minister. Thirty-two percent said 'none of the above'. Reform candidate for Don Valley :North. Peter Cobbold. said 'we've known for a long time that ream• Canadians see in Preston the qualities they believe are important in a Prime Minister. This CFRB survev shows that there is a lot of potential vet to hP tapped by our party'. Cobbold's explanation for the growing support for Mann- ing and the Reform Party is the consistency and conviction that Manning has bought to Reform's proposals to solve the deficit crisis. For 6 years :Nanning has been the only leader willing to seriously discuss the perils of out of control deficit financing and the threat posed to social safety pro- grams - Cobbold added that. 'three years ago. politicians like Bob Rae• the leaders of the old line parties in Ottawa and special interest groups vilified Preston for warning of the horning deficit crisis and the impact it was having on the economy. Today they're all taking excerpts from those old speeches and presenting them as brand new ideas. It shows the sorry state of political leadership we've had in this nation for far too long'. Too Many Governments Interfering In Our Taxes? Do we have too many governments interfering in our tax legislation' Metro citizens can't be blamed for being impa- tient with the stalling and lethargy on the part of our governmuents. Thirtv or forty years of this injustice is far too much. In an honourable situation where an injustice has been recognized, it is very quickly corrected with apology. Instead, this Rowlands gang has now taken on the gangster mentality of intrigue and plotting against their fellow, citizens. After being cheated for these many years Rowlands is wun trving to rub salt in the od. June Rowlands and her sidekicks have the audacity to appeal the assessments of Scarborough residents. It is dirty and hypoentical that she not apply the same arguments to her own comtituents. The Scarborough people Rowlands is taking revenge on are the very same residents who were also assessed at an earn• stage in history under antiquated assessments. This is becoming a storybook episode. Since what has now become anarchy in our assessment structure, the challenge to resolve has become too great for au• various government bodies. Just as in the case of in- dividuals, these injustices should be brought before our courts to resolve. Our various commercial enterprises that are caught within an accustomed pattern and feel that they cannot pro- vide their services on the basis of sound business practice because of a disrupted pattern, these should be assisted by wav of short-term subsidy or assistance. Such assistance should be readily acknowledged as interim assistance Toronto Citv Council who has over these many years taken advantage of their neighbouring municipalities and pro- spered, should now be called on by way of Market Value Assessment legislation to equally contribute toward these business subsidies. Toronto City Council can no longer expect to use the monstrous argument of business calamity to remain sheltered and excluded from their financial responsibility to their fellow citizens. To Scarborough residents who have now been hit with tax increases, we can only say with regret 'Welcome to the club'. This is what we other people have had to fight against and will continue to fight for you. There have been too many pious tears shed on behalf of this privileged municipality of the City of Toronto and no consideration for the people who have been cheated in the outlying municipalities of 'North York. Scarborough. East York, York. and Etobicoke. These municipalities just want a fair financial share that we, in turn, may contribute and be able to share. This is the Christian ethic. We are meeting unwelcomed opposition and plotting from opponents of :Market Value Assessment, our attempt to infuse this Chris- tian principle into the downtow-n area. When people are be- ing cheated• while the amotaut is important, the principle is most important. Do not give us any more false arguments. Give usthe overall percentage revenue as compared to pro- perty values of each municipality. Yours truly.

That, according to the organizers of Pitch -In Week, to be held May 3-9, is not a source of pride. A study conducted by Washington Analysis Cor- poration for the Canadian Council of Ministers of En- vironment reports that each Canadian produces an average of 1.7 kg of gar- bage a day. West Germans, the Swiss and Dutch pro- duce less than 1.5 kg and the British, Japanese and Swedes produce less than 1 kg a day. The volume of garbage generated is causing a disposal crisis in many area of Canada. Even though it is the largest country in the world, many of Canada's heavily populated areas are runn- ing out of landfill space. "In some communities waste disposal costs have risen to more than $200 per tonne and, in some cases, waste items have been ban- ned from landfills all together," states Dr. Dave Ankney, president of the Ontario Federation of Anglers & Hunters who, along with Pitch -In Canada, organize Pitch -In Week which encourages grass roots action to eliminate waste and litter.

But achieving these landmarks took a great deal of time and hard work. "The First 100 Years" Preview of World Flower Show On Wed. May 12th at 7:30 p.m., the Civic Garden Centre, 777 Lawrence Ave. E.

May 5, 1993 Bill Watt's Worlds t N YOUR TOES John Cranko's Romeo and Juliet is a staple of the National Ballet and always welcome in performance. The story is well known• of course, the music of Pro- kofiev is dramatic as well as romantic (somewhat more. the former) and the characters• within the sometimes and necessarily strictured confines of ballet, are vital. Indeed the characterizations are so valid as to make delinea- tion between dancing and acting almost seamless. The National is presen- ting the beloved work until h1av loth at The O'Keefe and The Column was there for opening night and the debut of Yseult Lendvai as Juliet. It might have been George B.S. who allowed that youth is too precious to be wasted upon the young. Not in the world of bal let . Miss Lendvai is undeniably young but then so is the girl woman she portrays. To that portrayal she br- ings a vitality that cold have carried it even without her undoubted technical expertise. She is at once shy. mischievous and passionate. Quite a tour de force. Her dancing is also won- drous to behold. There is one specific movement - there is a name for it no doubt but it's unknown to us -in which she spins her body in raid -air at a slight angle to the stage and is caul(M bti her partner who then swoops her to the ground in a Saint Andrew cruciform. It's a breathtak- ing piece of dance and Miss Lendvai performs it superbly. As well. her pied a pied is arguably the equal of the now retired Veronica Tennant. All in all a most auspicious debut. The lady was partnered by reliable Raymond Smith. He has been with The National for a number of years and never disap- points in performance. He isn't spectacular and, one suspects, by design. Yet at each performance he ex- tends himself just a little bit more, or seems to. In that respect he reminds -one of Tomas Schramek who is now moving into semi -character roles. He danced the role of the twisted Tybalt and brought suitable malevolence to the role though one misses the definitive performances of Hazaros Surmeyan. There were a number of debut performances, among them that of Pierre Quinn as Mercutio. It's the sort of loveable knockabout role that dancers love and Mr. Quinn trade the most of it as did James O'Connor as Benvolio. Another was that of Simone Orlando in the relatively small vole of Rosalind. One sometimes forgets that it's love of Rosalind that causes Romeo to meet Juliet. Miss Orlando in her portrayal makes an audience realize why Romeo is initially in- fatuated with her. We still are. Though we rarely read the reviews of others it's noted that one revwa-er bestowed upon the produc- tion, a five out of five. No disagreement here.

After having already reduced top ticket prices for 93.94• the National Ballet now an- nounced reductions in the cost of subscription tickets ranging from $74 to >s92.

In the approximate two hours from opening to clos- ing (no improv on opening might) we counted 23 sket- ches and blackouts. Among them was one about a cabal of women and the way they truly are masters mistresses of the world. ( Just wiry do women always go to the bath room together" And, do they tru- ly experience pain during childbirth or is it simply faked to put their mates on guilt trips?) There's a Babbitt and Bromide type sketch that achingly recalls similar situations in all of us. How • about the one where a young man brings home his date. a transvestite to meet his father and his transvestite wife? Watch for the caballeros singing about Nafta. There's much, much more and an audience must truly experience it for itself. There is quite simply no way -now for The Col- umn at least -adequately to describe Inhale To The Chid except to state that it's hilarious. And. of course the ex- cellent cast must be rnen- tioned. Ladies first: they are Kathryn Greenwood, Judith Scott and Jenny Parsons. The gentlemen are Nick Johne (a Belushi type) Steven Morel. Brian Smith and Jonathan Wilson. Tight stage management by Peter Sherk and fine musical accompaniment by Bob Derkach. Excuse us now, while we retape our cracked ribs. BACK AGAIN: Toronto can't seem to get enough of Shirley Valen- tine. The popular one woman play about the English middle class housewife who finds a new and romantic life in the Greek isles returns to the St. Lawrence Centre tonight and is scheduled to run until May 29th. (It's The Column's feeling that the run will be extended.) Once again the Willy Russell play will star Nicola Cavendish. The title role is a well written one and probably plays well with anyone cast but it's difficult to imagine anyone doing it better than Miss Cavendish who seems to have made it peculiarly her own. She's absolutely charm- ing and we can only say that, given the opportunity, we'd never give her cause to run away. ON T. V.: Like her or not -we like her -Elizabeth Taylor is the only remaining star of Hollywood's golden years. She got in, just as they were winding down. in the film Lassie Come Home. After National Velvet. she shot to the top and has re- mained there ever since. Not a bad actress, either. Some forget that she has won two Academy Awards. Granted. the Oscars aren't always indicative of thes- pian skills but it remains that they aren't easily earned. Anyway, the American Film Institute salutes the lady tonight with its Lifetime Achievement Award. Global Television will broadcast the ceremony at 9. Carol Burnett is the hostess and she will be joined by Roddy McDowall, Angela Lansbury. :Michael York. Michael Caine and Dennis Hopper. How the last nam- ed came to be included escapes us but five out of six isn't had. RE MINI..SCENCE: During the past week the bicentemial of the mutiny on the Bounty was observ- ed. Why was it interesting to The Column' Please read on. Around 1912, the City of Toronto tried to build a street car line along St. Clair Ave. At the Wells Hill Ravine, just east of Bathurst St. a heavy rain- fall and mudslide wiped out the landfill used to fill the ravine. The existing bridge was also destroyed so the city decided to build a new and proper one. It did so and the new line was opened on Aug. 13th, 1913, almost eighty years ago. The bridge is still there though one must look sharp to be aware of it. The pro- ject manager was a huge Viking lately arrived from the Isle of Man. His name was Eros Christian and he claimed descent from Flet- cher Cristian who led the mutiny on the Bounty and who also came -as did most of the crew -from the Isle of Man. He was our step father. IN PRINT: The Column remains un- convinced that democracy is here to stay in the Soviet Union Russia or whatever. It is completely alien to the Slavic ,oriental psyche. The so called leaders know that and are deliberately manipulating the new economy so that it will fail and the people will once again embrace the devil they know rather than the devil that apparently can't work.. Jor them anyway. The leaders will declare that at least it was tried and now it's back to the old ways. It might not happen in our lifetime but it most assuredly will take place. There's a sort of perverse satisfaction in fin- ding out that we are not alone in our opinion and perception. As proof, we of- fer The Porcupine, a wickedly funny book by Julian Barnes (Random House of Canada). In it an aging and former ruler of a satellite domi- nion is on trial for treason and corruption by the leaders of the new govern- ment. Slowly and methodically he reduces all their charges to virtual absurdi- tv knowing full well that the corruption of even the most ideologically inclined government will convict him. It's a short work and pad- ded to make it book length but the consumate writing skill of Mr. Barnes makes what is bumph in others in- to a joy to read. Sophisticated readers will agree. for example. with the observation that '.that weak unprintable in a family journal) with bird - shit on his head had been such a hyprocrite• such a betrayer of Socialism. When Gorbachev came on his round of urgent con- sultations, which consisted of informing his oldest, closest allies that he would drop them down the trap- per unless they stumped up some of Uncle Sam's hot, hard, dollars.. . There's much more, some of it funny, all of it trenchant. Another success for Mr. Barnes. FAST EXIT: "Russia has two generals in whom she can confide - Generals Janvier and Fevrier." From Punch magazine in 1853 and at- tributed to Nicholas I who died two years later. Born To Shop?

"Many elite female gymnasts go unnoticed for a variety of .reasons. The primary pur- pose of this series is to acknowledge those women who have achieved excep- tional results, while at the same time provide role models for those athletes who aspire to similar levels of excellence." With current demographics of over 75% female participants, gym- nastics represents one sport where females have shown that they can achieve international suc- cess. The other very important aspect of the Portraits of Excellence campaign is the Program Endowment Fund. A new idea developed by the O.G.F. the Program Endowment Fund was designed to ad- dress the fact that govem- rnent grants to amatetr sports continue to decline each year. The Fund is in- tended to financially assist future gymnasts. All net proceeds from the sales of the posters will go into the Program Endowment Fund. The 10 posters are 18"x 24" in size, and feature full colour action photos con- tributed by world class photographers. Each poster is autographed and features the career highlights of each gym- nast. The Ontario Gymnastic Federation hopes that this series will be a success, not only for the featured athletes, but also for those future athletes who will benefit from the money earned for the Program Endowment Fund. For more information on how you can obtain this ex- citing new series, contact The Ontario Gymnastic Federation at (416) 495-4110, or FAX (416) 495-4122.

Musicians, buskers, rick sha w drivers, town criers and military bands take to the streets, while dockside parties, Citadel Hill con- certs and the spark and sparkle of a lively maritime port light up summer in the city like no other spot in Canada. Once a British garrison town and still home to Canada's east coast navy, the harbour city proudly carries much of its colonial Past: the moon -gun firing of the Citadel cannon: four o'clock tea with the Mayor: a resident town crier: statues of Robbie Burns. Sir Walter Scott and Sir Winston Churchill and the occasional game of rugby or cricket on the Halifax Commons. But it is the hustle and bustle of the restored waterfront that defines Halifax's popularity as a summer tourist destina- tion.
