Let's get a good government at Ottawa - one that can handle all our economic and financial chores. Educational Justice Chief Justice Charles L jbin of the Ontario Court of Ap- peal has announced that the Ontario Multi -Faith Coalition for Equity in Education (OMCEE) has been granted in- tervenor status in the (?tarter challenges being brought by the Canadian Jewish Congress (QC) and the Ontario Alliance of Christian Schools 4 OACS � against the Ontario government. The cases will be heard by the Court of Appeal beginning Sept. 7. The CJC and OACS are appealing a lower court decision which determined in August, 1992 that, while Jewish and Christian parents are truly being discriminated against in not receiving government funding for their religious -based schools. the Ontario government. primarily on practical grounds, may continue to deny them funding. The Ontario Multi -faith Coalition supports the CJC and OACS appeals, and seeks to broaden the scope of the court hearing to include the entitlement to educational justice of Hindu. Muslim and Sikh parents. as well as Christian and Jewish. Peter R. Jervis of Lerner & Associates, who acts as legal cotutsel to ONICEE. will argue that the government's failure to provide funding( for independent religious schools and or religious education options within the public school system constitutes violations of sections 2t a) -the guarantee of freedom of conscience and religion and 15 which guarantees "equal benefit of the law without discrimina- tion. . based on religion. . ." of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. Mr. Jervis will present the case that Canada's Constitu- tion mandates government support for religious minorities and precludes the Ontario government from burdening minorities with the cost of paying for both public and in- dependent schools '-This obvious injustice. perpetrated against thousands of parents in Ontario. must be eliminated once and for all," says Gerald Vandezande, Government Relations Coordinator for OMCEE. The Multi -Faith intervention will seek to establish that "majontanian" values in Ontario "dictate a secular public educational system". Parents of religious minorities are forced to either conform to secular values in education or incur significant expense -in addition to the taxes they pay - for educating their children in accordance with their beliefs. principles or values. As stated in the OMCEE factum, "The choice of non- conformity with the secular values acceptable to the ma- jority imposes a significant burden on the religious minorities) which is the price of adhering to their religious practice and sustaining their religious and cultural com- munities wittun the province of Ontar•io." A recognition by the Ontario Cart of Appeal of the discrimination perpetrated against religious minorities by Ontario's education system and of the Ontario government's obligation to provide for the educational needs of children of religious minorities will set the stage for adjudication of the constitutional challenge launched by OMCEE in :March, 199'2. In this case OMCEE is sponsoring a group of Christian. Hindu, !Muslim and Sikh parents who are asking the Ontario Cart of Justice to declare that public funding of religious based independent schools and alternative schools or pro- grams under public or separate school board auspices in "constitutionally permissible and required, provided that participation in such schools or programs is voluntary and non -coercive." '.Members of the Ontario Multi -Faith Coalition for Equity in Education include the Canadian Council of Hindus, the Christian Coalition for Religious Freedom in Education, the Islamic Societv of North America and the Ontario Council of Sikhs. OMCEE is dedicated to seeking justice. equality and fairness in the treatment of the diverse religious views and communities represented in Ontario.

Scarborough West All residents who spend time outside Canada i especially seniors j. should know that the changes to the Ministry of Health's out of country payment policies come into effect on Fri. Oct 1. It's important that anyone travelling outside of Canada be aware of the changes so that they can ensure complete coverage while away. Travellers outside Canada will be covered by OHIP for emergency health services. Elective services 1 those that can be planned ahead of time 1 will no longer be covered. Seniors with chronic conditions are assured of payment for necessar care when they spend long periods outside Canada. And- Ontario residents can still spend up to 182 days a year outside the country without jeopardizing their OHIP eligibility. Medically accepted treatment that is not perforated in Ontario will still be paid for in full, as it will for situations where the wait to receive treatment in Ontario could threaten the patient's life. The patient's Ontario physician must get written approval from the Ministry before the treatment is received. For more information, call the :Ministry of Health Hotline ( 416 ) 3145518.

Of Trade Blasts Government Attitude The President of the Board of Trade of Metropolitan Toronto is demanding a reversal in the "Anywhere But Toronto" attitude by senior governments and a freeze on spiralling tax hikes, in a five point action plan delivered to all levels of government today. Entitled "Operation Recovery: The Five Key Needs of Metro Toronto Business", the plan blasts government prac- tices that are paralysing Metro's efforts at recovery, and pput forward viable measures to bring the cost of doing busintess in Metro under control. "The federal government's refusal to help fund Conven- tion Centre expansion and the Trade Show Centre is a clear example of the 'Anywhere But Toronto' attitude," said Board of Trade President Don. I. Brown. "We're just not getting the support we need for cost justified projects that will bring jobs, visitors and spending back to Metro." The action plan supplies damning evidence of the skyrocketing cost of doing business in Canada: "Ibroughout the 1960s, tax revenues of all kinds grew faster in Canada, as a share of the national economy, than anywhere else in the world. The comparison is striking - a 85% increase in Canada, 10% in the G7 ( excluding Canada), and only 1% in the U.S." In addition to eliminating the "Anywhere But Toronto" attitude and snaking taxes competitive for Metro's businesses, the plan calls for governments to: Develop a Positive Attitute Toward Business and Profits "A major attitude adjustment is needed by many in government to appreciate that business creates jobs and economic growth. " Downsize Government and Government Debt '...in the last decade, public sector employment in On- tario has exparxied by over 67% whereas private sector employment has increased by only 11%. Taxpayers cannot afford the costs associated with this much public sector ex- pansion. „ Cost -Justify Public Projects "New public projects should be judged ... on their ex- pected long-term economic returns, service levels and af- fordability. If they cannot be cost justified by these criteria, plans should be shelved, or undertaken through private sec- tor funding and operations, or user -pay financing." "Doubling the size of the Metro Toronto Convention Cen- tre, ( for example). would provide high returns for relative- ly little public investment. We must stop turning away dawns of large international conventions because we can- not accommodate them." Half of the 400,000 jobs lost in this recession were lost in the Greater Toronto Area. —Operation Recovery- sets out five major solutions aimed at taking :Metro a long way toward getting those jobs back. The board is distributing the plan widely to all Meter area politicians, including federal election candidates from all parties, as well as to the media and the board's members at business enterprises of every kind and size throughout Metro. The board is pursuing meetings with key public officials to discuss the vole governments could be playing to ensure a successful rebound of Metro's private sector and revival of Metro's economy. -Only the private sector can create the numbers and the quality of )ohs that will underpin long-term economic growth," said Brown in the plan's opening statement. "But there is only so much that business can do on its owns. Long- term growth for everyone requires a reduction in the onerous cost of government and a tax and regulatory burden imposed by the four levels of government that is competitive with those in other jurisdictions." The Board of Trade of Metropolitan Toronto is the largest community board of trade or chamber of commerce in North America. tion � CREAi indicate that 16,484 homes were sold through the :Multiple Listing Service last month compared with 7,x56 a year ago, representing an decrease of 6.1 percent. "%%bile overall resale activity remained lower than year ago levels, some markets rebounded after stalling last month," said CREA President David Higgins. "tin balance though, the number of sales was little changed after suffer- ing a set back last month." Housing Affordability flits Record Buying a home has never been more affordable in many centres, according to Canada Mortgage and Housing Cor- poration's (CMHC► Canadian Housing Markets report. ..The percentage of renters who can afford to buv a starter home hit new highs in eleven areas during the first half of 1993," said Greg Gov, Manager, bwal Market Analysis at CMHC's Market Analysis Centre. -In other cen- tres, the large gains in affordability made since 1990 are holding in 1991" Mr. Goy attributed the improvement in affordability to mortgage rates hovering around 25 year lows, an abundant supply of affordable housing and attractive home prices in many centres.

Oct. 2. At this free event members of the public and community groups can learn more about, and can comment on, the recently released draft Metropolitan Water- front Plan. All Metro resident have a stake in the waterfornt, it is the source of our water. supports our recreation and moderates our climate. The forum is an opportunity to contribute to the future of this sensitive resource. The day will in- clude a welcome from Metro Chairman Alan Tonks, a slide presentation on the new draft plan. workshops, and a children's program. All participants will be invited to share their views on the draft policies. In 1990 Metro Council directed that a plan be prepared to replace the 1967 Waterfront Plan. The new draft plan takes an ecosystem approach, it proposes policies based on the public vision which emerged from initial con- sultation. This is a vision for a continuous shoreline greenway. opportunities for contact with a healthy environment, year round use of the waterfront, full accessibility, and vital economic activity through tourism, the arts, con- ferences and trade shows. The draft plan also reflects residents' interest in con- serving well established neighbourlwods. heritage landscapes, and other valued characteristics of the waterfront. The forum will provide an opportunity to explore a wide range of issues, such as the following: Will this draft plan make the public vision for the regional waterfront a reality? What are the tradeoffs and what are the solutions? and What aspects of the draft plan represent priorities for implementation? All those who live, work or play on the waterfront are urged to attend the Waterfront Planning Forum. Coaunents will be recorded, and public input will be reflected in changes to the draft plan. Once con- sultation has been com- pleted, the revised plan will go to Metro Council for ap. proval. Appropriate policies will be incor- porated into the draft Metropolitan Official Plan for Council adoption and provincial approval. Terns are encouraged to participate in the forum. "Becket" - A Mere Shadow by Frank Knight Jean Anouith's play "Becket or The Honour of God" is a momentous work which touches on the rela- tionship of Henry H of England and Thomas Becket. Becket became Ar- chbishop of Cantebury on the King's intrigue and manipulations and was murdered for opposing the King's excesses. It is a telling drama of a tragic relationship between an absolute and primitive monarch and his dearest friend who finds strength through God to oppose the King. It is a powerful, well written play with many scenes which require strong acting and characterization especially from the two leads Henry and Beckett who are really the whole play. There is a large suppor- ting cast, many who doubl- ed up in this production, but who are really there to fill in the picture as peasants, soldiers, lords, monks, etc. As usual Stage Centre Productions aimed very high artistically on this production. Very few theatres including profes- sional would attempt to stage this play. The large cast was disciplined, pac- ing was good as was the blocking. Where the play did not take fire was bet- ween the two leads. As Henry II Roy Net- tleton, had a strong grasp of the character and com- mended the stage with his moods and shifts as the tor- tured monarch. Unfor- tunately his Beckett, Brian Kipping, did not match him and his character came out one-dimensional. We did not see the angiuish in his soul, with either voice or body language. Stage Centre prides itself on its production values and this play was no excep- tion. The 12th century costuming was good up to a point. I couldn't come to terms with the King's green velvet jump -sit nor him and Beckett wearing the same clothes over a period of years. Does the play require such gloomy lighting? There were times when I could not see the actors' faces. I was taught at drama college that there is a correlation between sight and sound. When one can see, nae can hear better. Elements of 'coarse' theatre crept in when one could see there was no wine in the drinking vessels. Maybe these are small points, but they should not happen with a theatre group of this standing. It is still a show well worth seeing and the ar- tistic director L. Garth Allen must be con- gratulated on a difficult task, as well as being set and costume designer. The show runs Wed. Sept. 29th, Thurs. Sept. 30 and Oct. 1st and 2nd at Fair- view library Theatre. Call box office 299-5557 for tickets and information.

Westwater, City Clerk 150 Borough Drive, Scarborough, Ontario M1P4N7 V --- Page 6 THE NEWS POST Wed. September :9, 1993 Bill Watt's Worlds -AT THE OPERA: It's accepted by many that there is no definitive Carman. neither the opera itself, nor the title character. So each new production owes muchly to the director and the pro- duction team assembled. Not every new approach is successful and audience appreciation does not always equal complete au- dience enjoyment. Con- sider the current Canadian Opera Company produc- tion of Carmen at The O'Keefe. One appreciates what director Francois Racine and lighting designer Luc Prairie are attempting. Chiaroscuro as used by them is intended to portray the complexities of human nature. Fair enough one supposes except that there are those who hold that the characters in Carmen are not notably complex. Carmen is simply an overheated wench. Don Jose is an overheated simpleton, Escamillo is an overheated jock and Micaela, a simple farm girl in love with Don Jane. Still bt. Racine's clever use of light and shadow- is undeniably clever and, taken simply as such. quite effective. One thinks of the first meeting of Don Jobe and Carmen at Pastia•s after his release from jail. The stage is darkened. then a thin shaft of fight appears down which Carmen un- dulates to her current lover. We repeat that it's effective but ultimately distracting especially for those who are awaiting Carmen's song and dance of passion. Not to put too fine a point upon it but it seem: to The Column that this pr xhx-- tion rs too studied in visual effect It's stunning to see as a set piece but not true to the concept of opera. Digression: 111. Racine has seen fit to restore much of the original spoken dialogue without challeng- ing why it was omitted it the first place. Carmen is an opera, not a play with music. In his desire for max- imum visual effect, it seems too that he has been less than attentive to characterization. The roles of the prin- cipals alternate and on the evening of our attendance the title role was sung by Katherine Oesinski. She is a splendid woman to see and any man who can't long for her has water, not blood in his veins. Even so, her Carmen comes off as curiously flat. Truth to tell, one sees her more as brood mare than temptress. Thank heaven for her glorious singing voice. Jacque Trussel, Richard Cowan and even reliable Rebecca Caine are forget- table as Don Jose, Escamillo and Micaela respectively Only Russell Braun as Morales seemed impressive. Here is banked fire' Now, we would not for the world, give the impres- sion that one should not give custom to this produc- tion. Taken as intended it's an experience and, of course, there is the glorious music of Bizet well sung and played. One supposes it's a good thing there is rxi definitive Carmen. If such were the case, this one would not be it.

Must of the IX47 emigrants had been tenants on large Irish estates. In an over -populated country where the potato was the staple of the national diet, crops failed for two )cars in a row. Tenants were destitute and starving and the landlords were eager to he rid of them. Whole counties with pontic names such as Limerick. Tipperary- Clare and Cork were devastated by famine and its companion diseases. In April. 1847, more than 28.000 families were crammed into wooden transport ships Mound for Quebec City, the main port of the St. Lawrence. Conditions were appalling. Many of the passengers were stricken with "famine fever" (typhus) before they boarded and once they were crammed into nar- row hunts below the deck the dis- ease spread yu[ckly. Food and water aboard the ships were often in scarce supply. Accordin_ to one ohscr%cr the straw beds were '-teaming with abonlinations•' and the bodies of the dead were often left with the Irving who were too weak to cam them upon Ht,R,�l deck. Of the 2440 pas- sengers on hoard one ship alone nine died at sea and another -ill died on arrival at the quarantine station of Grosse Isle. 46 km downstream from Quebec City. Dr. George L) uglas, the med- ical officer in charge. realized that the facilities were not adequate to serve the massive Irish emigra- tion. He begged the government of the Province of Canada to increase his staff and facilities. but was able to add only 50 beds to his hospital. bringing accom- modation to 200 beds. The oppressive heat of the summer only worsened an already disastrous situation, and still the overcrowded ships kept arriving -- 12.(X)O) more immi- _rants disembarked on June I. another 1.4.(MM) a week later. The number of sick at the Grosse Isle hospital totalled over I,(XX). By October , when the hartnwr closed, tour doctors had died alone with 18 medical assistants.

A plaque erected at a mass grave site notes: "In this secluded spot lie the mortal remains of 5.425 persons who, flying from pesti- lence and famine in 18447, found in North America but a grave.' - Ultimately, the immediate vic- tims of this tragedy were the chil- dren. According to some esti- mates, the children outnumbered adults 54 to one. Father Charles Felix Cazeau, Vicar General of the Diocese of Quebec, who was affectionately known as "the priest of the Irish," worked tirelessly to have the des- titute children taken in by parish priests and placed in foster homes.

Out of sympathy for the vic- tims and their homeland. orphan- ages were careful to preserve the Irish identity of the children. keeping a record of their natural parents, their parish and county of origin and the vessel that brought them over. The records also include many of the names and addresses of the foster families. most of them French Canadian. In Quebec City alone there are records of 619 such adoptions. For example, five year old Pat Noonan who entered Canada from the ship Odessa in 1837, son of Patrick and Mary (nee Coleman) of County Westmeath, was adopt- ed by Louis Leblanc of St. Gre- goire. In fact, all six of the Noo- nan orphans went to families in St. Gregoire and the records show young Pat's five sisters married French-Canadians.

COMMENT: The more one reads of the dreadful Toronto municipal government, the rnore one is convinced that Tony O'Donohue should once again enter into the battle for mayor in the next election. He's honourable and above all else, it shows in utterances. He seems the one man capable of saying what he means and mean- ing what he says. FAST EXIT: Has anyone else noticed just how bad Toronto drivers are becoming? Ti me was when a horn was honked only as a warning. Now. one hears them at every traffic light blatting away as soon as the green light appears. And, how about the lane changing? American visitors have been telling us for years about how bad it is in Toronto but it seems to be getting even worse. Oh yes, don't forget the finger salutes that now seem so prevalent. At least it's marginally better than the Jamaican salutes that often accompany them.

Reducing The Deficit Is Important Says Cannis Scarborough Centre Liberal candidate John Canis says "jobs is the number one issue in the countrv. not the deficit". "Reducing the deficit is important.- says Canis. However. the federal government has a respon- sibility to the people. It cannot wash its hands and claim their rrtisery is a pace that must tie paid because it's a world reces- sion, or zero inflation, or a stable dollar, or whatever. " "I am running for Parlia- ment to promote policies that will create full time jobs for the unemployed and sustain existing oc- cupations." says Cannis, a successful entrepreneur who owns and operates a job placement agency "The Tories have brought inflation down by allowing unemployment to increase." says Cannis. "People who fear losing their jobs do not demand salary increases. High unemployment serves Tory policies by keeping wages low for big business." Canis feels "Deficit reduction is just a red herr- ing. Wlide in power, the Tories have introduced new bases of taxation, in- cluding the GST, that have tripled their tax revenue. At the same time. the na- tional debt has increased from $168 billibn in 1984 to $458 billion today. Obvious- ly the increased revenues were not used to decrease the deficit." Cannis adds "The Tones have used deficit reduction as an excuse for justifying all their regressive and destructive policies. And since they cannot reduce the deficit. the same ex- cuse will be used again and again whenever it suits them. " Abuse Prevention Program Attention parents with children eight to 14 years old.

New New Special Mail -In Ballot Makes it Easier for Travellers, Non -Residents to Vote Travelling out east to visit Mom during the election and still want to vote' Heading to Florida for the winter but still want to cast your ballot" Studying or working in Europe for a couple years and don't want to miss a chance to have your say? For the first time, all these peo- ple can take advantage of the new, special mail -in ballot that lets Canadians travelling, working or studying away from home, or even people living (temporarily) abroad vote in federal elections. It can also be used by people in their rid- ings who are unable to get to the polling station for the October 25th federal election. Changes to the Canada Elec- tions Act made in May 1993 expand the Special Voting Rules to allow many new categories of vot- ers to cast their vote by the special, write-in ballot. As was always the case, military and public service personnel and their families posted outside of Canada will use this system to vote at this election. A similar system will also be used by inmates in provincial institutions who are able to vote for Members of Parliament for the first time. Canadian citizens who have been living outside of Canada for less than five years and who intend to return to Canada to resume resi- dence can now vote under the Special Voting Rules. Diplomats, military personnel, and employees of some international organizations are exempt from the five year limit, along with their families. Voters residing outside Canada will be assigned a riding where their vote will count, based on their last address in Canada or the address of family still living here. Applications are available from any Canadian embassy, consulate or mission around the world, or from Elections Canada. You'll need to include proof of citizen- ship with your application. Canadians who will be away during the election can register until Wednesday, October 20, 1993, and should apply early to be sure their votes can count at this election. Applications are also available in Canada from Canada Post outlets or any of the Elections Canada offices across Canada. You'll need to provide proof of your residence with your applica- tion. Once the application is pro- cessed and approved, voters are sent a special ballot Voting Kit, which contains a write-in ballot, where voters write the name of the candidate of their choice. It's up to you to know who is running in your riding, but after September 28, 1993, you can get this informa- tion by calling Elections Canada at 1 -800 -267 -VOTE (8683). Ballots can be mailed, courri- ered, or delivered directly to Elec- tions Canada in Ottawa, or through Canadian diplomatic missions, but must arrive by 4 p.m. (Ottawa local time) on Friday, October 22, 1993 to be counted at this election. If you are still in the riding and choose to vote by special ballot, you can apply directly to the local Elections Canada office. For more information on the Special Voting Rules, contact the Elections Canada office in your riding or call 1 -800 -267 -VOTE (8683). Elections Canada is the non- partisan agency responsible for the conduct of federal elections.
