Pre -Budget
Town Hall
Meeting
Dan McTeague, M.P. On-
tario Riding, hosted a pre-
budget town hall meeting
in Ajax on Thurs. Feb. 9.
..with the budget only a
few weeks away, it is im-
portant for the people of
Ontario Riding to discuss
what direction it should
take to deal with Canada's
fiscal problems," said
McTeague.
"While it is clear Cana-
dians have been taxed into
oblivion and that the
budget should not add new
taxes it is no so clear as to
what measures should be
taken to reduce federal
spending." added
McTeague.
"Canadians want to see a
reduction in the federal
deficit and eventually our
debt. They also want their
government to put its fiscal
house in order. Above all,
the federal government has
an obligation to cane for-
ward with a fair and fiscal-
ly responsible plan that will
provide results without ad-
ding to the tax burden,"
said McTeague.
"It is vital that the people
play a significant role in
determining %bat is in this
budget. That is why I
believe each Member of
Parliament must provide
their constituents with an
opportunity for theirvoices
to be heard and to bring
these views to Ottawa,..
concluded McTeague.

$15 Million From Rae
by Bob Watson
Last week Ontario Premier Bob Rae made an offer to
Metro Council which the council members probably will
accept.
The Premier has offered to pay for the first three years of
metro's capital costs and interest - about $15 million - for
construction of a subway line to York University and the
extension of the Scarborough SRT.
Metro Council has been reluctant to proceed with this $250
million project and only approved two other lines. On Feb.
22nd !Metro Council will discuss this provincial proposal and
we feel that the council will approve of these projects.
About Education Reform
by Bob Watson
The Roval Commission on Learning seems to have
suggested that the province take over funding of our schools
and phase out local school boards. We don't believe that
abolishing local school boards would improve the
educational system.
We must bring out the fact that the Ontario government for
some vears has not contributed any money to the Metro
public school system but has contributed to the Metro
Catholic School system. Metro public schools have been
wdairl• treated in finances and we believe that we should
have equality to all residents in this province.
Just because '.Metro Toronto includes wealthy people does
not mean that the taxpayers in this area should be treated
differently than somewhere else in Ontario.
It w•ouid be great if educational financial equity was
returned to Metro Toronto.

McTeague Commends Le
Barreau Du Quebec For
Proposed Amendment
Dan McTeague. M.P.. Ontario Riding. is pleased with the
amendment to Bill C-41 put forward at a meeting of the
Justice and Legal Affairs Committee by Le Barreau du
Quebec.
"I commend Le Barreau du Quebec for placing before the
Committee an amendment. similar to one I have presented
to the Minister of Justice. which seeks to provide justice for
all Canadians who are the victims of hate crime." said
McTeague.
"While the amendment proposed by Le Barreau du
Quebec to S. 718.2 1 a I 10 1 differs slightly in wording. it is
consistent with the basis of my amendment as it eliminates
the list of enumerated factors contained in the Bill. The
amendment by Le Barreau du Quebec states that if evidence
before the court indicates an offence was motivated by
prejudice. the court may deem that offence to be one of
aggravated circumstances and thus allow for a harsher
sentence to be applied." added McTeague.
"Le Barreau du Quebec does not include the words bias
and hate in their amendment to S. 718.2 1 a 1 1 i 1. as, in their
view. the commission of an offence motivated by hate.
regardless of what this hate is based on. is above all an act of
prejudice. The enumerated factors were removed because.
in the opinion of Le Barreau du Quebec. specifying the bases
of bias, prejudice and hate has lead to disputes as some
wished to eliminate the factors while others wanted to add
more.
According to le Barreau. a preference exists for the law to
be durable and be able, as much as possible. to change in
harmony with the times and with social developments.
Enumeration of only certain factors in Bill C-41, would not
provide for such flexibility to occur." said McTeague.
Le Barreau du Quebec is a professional association which
represents 16.000 lawyers in Quebec and it is the provincial
counterpart of the Canadian Bar Association.

McLeod Would Fix Flawed
NDP Long Term Care Policy
The NDP's changes to long-term care are creating a costly
bureaucracy that limits people's choices and flexibility.
Ontario Liberal Leader Lyn :McLeod said recently.
•"Itte \'DP plan creates a bureaucracy that eliminates
input from people involved in the system." McLeod said.
"Communities will no longer be able to decide what's in their
best interests - bureacrats will."
The Ontario Liberals will change the long-term care
legislatin to ensure th4t :
people have a major say in how, care is delivered in their own
communities:
seniors and others who need long-term care are given service
based on choice and flexibility, rather than a structure that is
rigid, bureaucratic and more costly:
the important role that volunteers and volunteer
organizations play in the system is encouraged. rather than
limited by the current legislation.
The NDP government's long-term care legislation fails to
meet all three criteria. McLeod said as she and Liberal
candidate Stephen Lautens met with clients of Senior Link. a
community-based seniors' organization. at the Hope Centre
on Thurs. Feb. 9th.
McLeod added that the government -run multi -service
agencies created by the NDP plan will eliminate the choices
for care that people now have in their communities. The
N`DP legislation will also cost more tax dollars than
necessary by forcing volunteer agencies. such as the Red
Cross and the Victorian Order of Nurses. to close their doors
after vears of quality service. McLeod said.
"Volunteers have played a vital role in delivering long-
term care. We must recognize and encourage this role. not
stifle it." McLeod said. "Everything these organizations
have built up over decades will disappear and have to be
replaced by a new government bureaucracy, with taxpayers
picking up the bill."
McLeod said that an Ontario Liberal government would
change the NDP law and ensure that people have a real sav
in determining how long-term care is delivered in Ontario.
that seniors and others who need care are offered choice and
flexibility. and that the vital role volunteers and volunteer
agencies play in the system is recognized and encouraged.

New Help For
Prescription Drug Expenses
A young family with two children struggles to make ends
meet on their modest income. They depend on doctors'
samples for the drugs they need to treat their two asthmatic
children. When the samples run out. the children often end up
in hospital.
A man with a good job and a drug plan has an inherited
lung disease that requires drugs costing $30.000 a year. He
has exhausted his drug plan's lifetime benefits. and now he is
simply going without the medication he needs.
These are just two examples of the thousands of people
who must make the difficult choice between health and
serious financial hardship. They are the kind of people who
will benefit from the new Trillium Drug Program just
announced by Health !Minister Ruth Grier
The Trillium Drug Program will provide financial help for
more than 240.000 individuals and families who face
unmanageable drug expenses. It is designed for those who
need very expensive drugs and for those who have high drug
costs relative to their income. For many people. the new
program can mean the difference between risking their
health or being forced to quit their jobs and go on social
assistance. This plan will allow them to continue their
productive working lives. and at the same time get the
prescription drugs they need.
This new program isn't intended to take the place of drug
insurance that people may have privately or through their
work. However, there are many people who do not have drug
insurance or who have high drug casts relative to their
income. For many people. the new program can mean the
difference between risking their health or being forced to quit
their jobs and go on social assistance. This plan will allow
them to continue their productive working lives, and at the
same time get the prescription drugs they need.
This new program isn't intended to take the place of drug

MPs Pensions
Dear Sir Madam:
A recent national Environics poll shows that 86 per cent of
Canadians believe MP pensions are too rich. As well. 93 per
cent said they want them reformed before the federal
government cuts other spending, including spending on
social programmes.
MPs qualify for gold-plated pensions after only six years
in office, regardless of their age. Their pension plan has
unlimited protection against inflation and it grows in value
2 1 2 times faster than the maximum legal rate in the
private sector.
The same Environics poll also revealed that 91 per cent of
Canadians say MPs should only start to collect their pen-
sions at age 65. 93 per cent want the pension's value to grow
at the same rate as in the private sector and 65 per cent
want to scrap the inflation protection feature.
Canadians want real pension reform, not more talk and
certairtly not mere tokenism.
We certainly hope that Prime :Minister Chretien is listen-
ing.
Sincerely.

Blood Donors Help Keep Youngsters Alive
M -J (Michael -Justin)
O'Grady is a fun -loving two
year old and watching him
play is an exhausting ex-
perience, even for his
parents. Mike and Justine.
M -J's days have not always
been so active but thanks to
blood donors, he is able to
spend his every waking
moment playing.
Mike and Justine were
told that M -J had
hemophilia two days after
he was born. M -J had a fac-
tor VIII deficiency which
was treated with regular
transfusions at the Hospital
for Side Children, to help
control his bleeding
episodes.
Hemophilia, a blood
disorder, is caused by a
deficiency in one of the
plasma proteins necessary
for blood to clot. Minor
bumps can lead to life-
threatening bleeding
episodes. People with
hemophilia rely on regular
transfusions of clotting fac-
tors. Generous and
dedicated blood donors pro-
vide the plasma necessary
to produce the lifesaving
blood products needed to
treat hemophilia and other
bleeding disordess.
M -J's factor VIII defi-
ciency is treated at home
by his parents. "It took us
about three weeks to learn
how to transfuse M -Ts clot-
ting factor, but now it's
pretty much a routine and
M -J even helps," says
Justine. She explains. "M -J
knows that when he gets a
bump, he gets a poke to fix
the bump." Although M -J
is treated at home about
once a week, he makes
regular visits to the
Hospital for Sick Children
every six months for check -
Mike and Justine, both
school teachers at Father
Midsael Goetz Secondary
School in Mississauga,
practically went back to
school themselves to learn
more about M -J's disorder.
"I knew very little about
hemophilia," says Mike. "I
thought that M -J couldn't
play sports like I did in
university. But, as I learn-
ed more about hemophilia
and the treatments, I
realized that although M -J
couldn't play hockey or
football, he could still swim
or play tennis "

Randy Killey Gets Life Saving Award
In a ceremony held on
Thurs. Jan. 19 at Hart
House, University of
Toronto, lieutenant Gover-
nor Henry N. R. Jackman,
presented Mr. Randy
Killey, 14 Holmcrest Trail.
Scarborough with the
Royal Life Saving Society's
Commonwealth Honour
Award, with Bar to Service
Medal.
Randy, one of 17 Royal
life volunteers honoured.
received this award for ef-
forts in community drown-
ing prevention and lifesav-
ing education.
Although Randy started
his Royal Life career as an
instructor 25 years ago, his
work for the society has
focused on the efficient and
effective management of
the organization.
When Randy was per-
suaded to relingtash the
treasurer's job after eight
years to step into a new
portfolio as Vice President
Finance in 1992, he did not
reaize that he had stepped
onto the slippery slope to
the presidency. In 1994,
Randy became President -
Elect - with duties "as
assigned., by the Presi-
dent.
Currently. Randy is the
volunteer in charge of the
relocation of the branch o(-
frce, a major (arid immi-
nent) undertaking. He also
chairs the Steering Com-
mittee directing the
development of a new and
more efficient approach for
the society to develop and
launch new products. Both
projects are designed to
position the society to con-
tinue the growth it has en-
)oyed over the past decade.

Government Support For
'Rights Claims Under
Charter To Be Studied
The role of Canadian governments in supporting or op-
posing human rights claims under the Charter of Rights
and Freedoms is the focus of a new study by the winner of
the 1994 Bora Laskin :National Fellowship in Human Rights
Research.
DR. F. L. (Ted) Morton, a professor of political science at
the University of Calgary, has been awarded the W.000
Laskin fellowship by the Social Sciences and Humanities
Research Council of Canada (SSHRC) .
"Despite the fact that federal and provincial govern-
ments have constituted the most frequent intervenors in
Charter cases," says Dr. Morton, "there has been no
systematic study of their legal arguments. We know neither
how governments have tried to influence judicial develop-
ment of the Charter nor whether they have succeeded. This
study seeks to answer those questions in order to gain a bet-
ter understanding of how the law governing our rights and
freedoms is developing...
Dr. Morton will review and analyse the legal arguments
presented by the Quebec, British Columbia, Alberta.
Saskatchewan, Ontario and federal governments in
Charter cases heard by the Supreme Court of Canada bet-
ween 1982 and 1992. The year-long study, to get underway
this July, will look at how governments intervene in charter
cases and with what results.
Key issues to be explored include whether there are dif-
ferences between provinces and the federal government in
approach and strategy, and whether regionalism or the
political affiliation of governing parties affects the nature
and approach of government interventions. For example,
has Ontario consistently supported rights claimants before
the Supreme Court or has its support varied with the
change of governments from Tory to Liberal to NDP'' Is
government support for Charter claims stronger in Ontario
than in Quebec or the West" Dr. Morton intends to publish
his findings before the end of next year.
Named for the late Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of
Canada, the Bora Laskin National Fellowship was
established by SSHRC in 1985 to encourage
multidisciplinary research and the development of Cana-
dian expertise in the field of human rights. The award,
granted once a year following a national competition, is
tenable for a 12 -month period and includes an additional
s10,0oo allowance for research and travel costs.
SSHRC is the primary federal funding agency for
research and training in the social sciences and
humanities. This year council will invest approximately
692.4 million in basic, strategic and collaborative research,
graduate student training, and research communications.
Grant Of $737,800 For Blue Boxes
Anne Swarbrick, MPP
Scarborough West, has an-
nounced a grant of $737,800
to the City of Scarborough
for its Blue Box program.
Tine funding, announced on
behalf of Environment and
Energy Minister Bud
Wildman, is made
available under the
Municipal Recycling Sup-
port Program.
"I am pleased to an-
nounce this grant to Scar-
borough," Ms. Swarbrick
said. "This program has
the potential to promote
further 311s activities in
this area. Today, more
than three million
households in Ontario use
the Blue Box to recycle
materials that once went
directly to landfill sites.
"Successful Blue Box
programs like this one
have helped municipalities
to meet the 25 per cent
waste diversion goal. With
these programs, we can
help communities reach
Ontario's 50 per cent reduc-
tion target by the end of
this decade," she added.
Scarborough will use the
grant to help cover the
capital, operating, promo-
tional and advertising costs
of the program as well as
the purchase of household
bins.
In the Championship
semi-finals, Uno Wesingi
leads Allan Perun 1-0: the
Mucignat-Soriano match is
scheduled to start now that
the overtime tiebreak
match has been completed.
In the Consolation semi-
finals, Clayton leads
Thurairasah 1-0 on
forfeiture; the Haddrath-
Puusa match is scheduled
to start as the quarter -finals
are now completed. This
slow -play tournament is
being played at the same
time control as the Closed.

Until now, if you've been Iooking for a local tank branch that can provide
franking services and wealth management services like Investment Management
and Estate Planning & Administration, you wouldn't have found
it. You would have had to make two stops; a traditional bank
branch plus a trust company. And so we at TD decided to make
things a little more convenient for you. We've combined banking
with TD Trust's wealth management services. Drop by our TRUST

Bill Watt's Worlds
ON YOUR 'FOES:
The National Ballet's
new and muchly heralded
production of Romeo and
Juliet at The O'Keefe is
epiphanic, not phoenix -
like. The previous, much
loved, production was not
moribund; only familiar.
The present one serves
wonderfully as a
restorative and is mindful
of a marriage blossoming
again after a silver an-
niversary.
The new decor and
costume design of Susan
Benson is truer to the dark
side of the love tragedy.
Verona was an old city
even at the time of the
story and looks it here. The
walls are dark and clam-
my: one shudders for the
warmth of young love.
Robert Thomson's new
lighting is equally effec-
tive. Verona is no longer
bathed in perpetual sun-
shine. Indeed, the impact
of Tybalt's death scene
owes as much to the gloam-
ing light as it does to the
measured choreography -
How are these changes
received by the audience?
With great approval.
though not in a manner one
would have expected.
Consider the ballroom
scene. Your Column was in
attendance for the
premiere of the previous
production those many
years ago and still
remembers the audible
gasp as the lights went up
on its splendour. In this
production, the reaction is
a less dramatic but sustain-
ed and admiring hum of ap-
proval.
Still. the dancing is the
thing and John Crarnko's
choreography. to the score
of Prokofiev and superbly
reproduced by Jane
Bourne from the Benesh
Notation, was well sewed
on the recent opening night
by Margaret Mmarn and
Robert Tewsley.
The former is arguably
now the company's
defunitive Juliet. To the
skill of technique she adds
the ardour of youth. She is
matched in both by Mr.
Tewsley. Their dancing in
the balcony and bedroom
scenes are almost
orgasmic in lyrical intensi-
ty. Shaw wrote that youth
is too precious to be wasted
upon the young but it is
most certainly not
begrudged here.
Other highlights? Gizella
Witkowsky, in what we
believe to have been her
first character role was
predictably an imperious
Lady Capulet. Charles Kir-
by, as her lord, responded
well to evident new direc-
tion that makes him appear
clearly a confused man
dominated by his wife.
Christopher Kiss is all um -
bridled libido as Tybalt and
Johan Persson is suitably
gay - in the correct sense of
the word - as Mercutio.
It's mere happenstance
that our review is brief.
One could triple its length
and still deliver the same
trumpet of triumph.
Romeo and Juliet as per-
formed by the National
Ballet is a treasure - a na-
tional treasure and should
be so declared.
Cl'RTAIN CALL:
One of the highlights of
the NBOC '95 '96 Season
will be a brand new produc-
tion of The Nutcracker
choreographed by James
Kudelka and designed by
Santo Loquasto. One
pleasurably anticipates the
new design but has reser-
vations about new
choreography. We bold Mr.
Kudelka in great admira-
tion but treasure in
memory the choreography
espoused by Celia Franca
in her production. Time
will tell.
There will also be new
productions of Kenneth
MacMi lan's Manon (=
the Massenet score)
Paul Taylor's Company B.
The latter is set to music
made popular by the An-
drews Sisters and promises

to be a hoot.
Other additions to the
repertoire will be Echo, a
solo for Karen Kain;
Balanchine's Tchaikowsky
Pas de Deux and Ashton's
Symphonic Variations.
Artistic Director Reid
Anderson is holding to an
artistic dynamic that some
others have failed to
realize. That is, that one
must go forward. We ap-
plaud him heartily in tak-
ing his company forward.
ON STAGE ONE:
If you missed In The
Ring at Stratford last
season, you now have the
opportunity to see it under
its original title and in its
original dialogue at Cana-
dian Stage, Berkeley
Street Upstairs. That's
where ThOAtre frainais de
Toronto is presenting Eddy
by Jean Marc Dalpe. It's
not a great play but it's a
moving one and well wor-
thy of custom.
Eddy is a former prize
fighter who, like most of
them, never made it. '.Vow,
he runs a greasy spoon in
Montreal (it could be
anywhere) and is more or
less reconciled to
memories of old hopes.
daydreams of future glory
and contentment with a
laving wife. Her love of Ed-
dy the slob is purely sexual
but what the hey. hey'
Into this life comes his
nephew from Sudbury, like
Eddy years before. with
hopes of success in the
ring. Eddy's ambitions are
fired up again and he

What's On In France
Bourgogne's Wine Makers'
Patron Saint Vincent
Martyred at the beginn-
ing of the 4th century, Vin-
cent - who was a deacon to
the Saragossa bishop, is
said to have been crushed
to death in a grape press
which is why he is known as
the wine makers' patron
saint in Bourgogne. The an-
nual celebration is held in
late January, the turning
point in the work of the
wine growers. The wine
from the previous harvest
is nearly ready and it is the
beginning of the prepara-
tions for the next one.
Saint -Vincent is not
simply a likable historical
figure, he stands for a
movement of solidarity
between those who grow
and produce wine. There
are Saint Vincent associa-
tions dating back to the
18th century in most wine -
producing villages. Their
goal is to help any wine -
growing family that might
be in need. This can be
financial, but for the most
part it consists of taking
care of a wine -grower's
vineyard in case of the lat-
ter's illness or death.
This generosity is all the
more commendable since
it means they have to set
aside all spirit of competi-
tion. Saint -Vincent is
celebrated twice; firstly,
people go to church and
give thanks to God, and
then the wine -growers take
the saint's statue to their
colleagues' villages, a dif-
ferent one each year, and
have a banquet.
The Brotherhood of
Tastevin Knights took the
initiative of organizing this
revolving celebration.
Villages are chosen well in
advance because three
years of preparations are
necessary to welcome the
100.000 guests. The villages
are richly decorated, and a
Special vintage is created -
the result of the coopera-
tion of all wine -growers of
the area. This wine can be
tasted freely by all guests
on Saint -Vincent's Day.

Spring Postcards From The United States
As Spring '95 ap-
proaches, areas across the
USA prepare to mark the
change of season with uni-
que events and activities
that will be of interest to
Canadian visitors. Here
are a few examples:
Spend The Spring With Dr.
Quinn Medicine Woman
Los Angeles' scenic San-
ta Monica Mountains offer
tourists many ways to ex-
perience the great outdoors
this spring. But while few
people think of the national
recreation area as a place
to explore California
movie -making history, one
corner of the park offers
just that opportunity.
In Hollywood's early
days. filmmakers liked to
make the short trek into the
mountains to use the Para-
mount Ranch as the
backdrop for locales as
diverse as China and
Missouri. Private owners
of the land developed an
elaborate western town in
the park that continued to
draw film crews.
A part of the National
occasion.
These renovations which
began two years ago in-
clude the following
changes: No parking along

Currently, it serves as the
home of the "Dr. Quinn,

sion program starring Jane

There is no charge to
visit the ranch or any part
of the Santa Monica Moun-

Spring Skiing - Its
"Maine" -Iv Because Of
The Snow
In many parts of the
world. the winter of '95 has
been a no -snow, but that
hasn't been the case in
snowbound Maine. The
state is on target to get 20
natural inches of snow this
season, and that bodes very
well for spring skiing.
The ten major ski resorts
in Maine are in a major
snow belt - this is the only
state in the East that is
high enough to be able to of-
fer above-the-treeline ski-
ing! And, with 98 per cent
of the ski runs reachable by
snowmaking equipment,
Ski Maine is confident that
there will be spring skiing
until May. Many of the
lodges are now offering
special spring ski packages
and mid -week discounts.

Africa: Does Canada Have A Role To Play?
Up to one million dead.
Another 1.5 million forced
to flee their homes for the
deceptive safety of the
cholera -ridden camps in
Zaire. Not since World War
11 has the world witnessed
such a swift and
methodical extermination
as the massacres in Rwan-
da. Behind the extermina-
tion and subsequent
humanitarian effort, lies a
question: was the interna-
tional community's
response effective?
The 50th anniversary of
the United Nations and
Canada's role as a founding
member of the peacekeep-
ing forces provides a time-
ly moment to reflect on
Canada's participation in
humanitarian aid. What
are our goals and can they
be achieved, given our
economic position? What is
the moral value of our in-
volvement in Africa? is the
U.N. effective? Should we
be shifting our focus from
peacekeeping and crisis
relief to prevention?
'.Africa: Does Canada
Have a Role to Play` will
be discussed on Wed. Feb.

Woodson organized the
First Negro Week which
became an annual institu-
tion.
In the 1960s Negro
History Week was expand-
ed and renamed Black
History Month. February
was chosen because it in-
cluded the birthdays of
Frederick Douglas, a well
known Black Freedom
Fighter and Abraham Lin-
coln, the president who
freed slaves during the
United States Civil War.
Negro History Week was
first celebrated in Canada
by the Canadian Negro
Women's Association in
1957.
Pearson has organized
activities throughout this
month to help celebrate
Black History Month.
NATIONAL EATING
DISORDER WEEK
Feb. 6th was the beginn-
ing of National Eating
Disorder Week, and Pear -
son's Student Awareness
Committee planned two
forums on the topic for
students.
Following is a helpful tip
from Scarborough Health
Department in support of
National Eating Disorder
Awareness Week:
The word anorexia
literally means loss of ap-
petite. The truth is that
people with anorexia are
probably very hungry. but
they will not give
themselves permission to
eat- They are afraid of
gaining weight. If they eat
a little bit of food, they are
worried that they will start
to eat so much that they
will get fat. Food may also
be the one aspect of life the
anorexic person feels
he she can control.
An estimated 10% of the
people with anorexia are
boys but this may be an
under estimate. Boys may
be ashamed to admit that
they are fighting with an
eating disorder, because it
hs been considered a "girl
disease". Also. a boy who
has an eating disorder
would probably resort to
excessive exercise to con-
trol his weight - this may
not seem unusual.
People with an eating
disorder have a distorted
mental picture of their
bodies, and an unrealistic
fear of becoming fat, but
seeing thin models and ac-
tors is not the reason so-
meone becomes anorexic
or bulimic. Family rela-
tionships, fear of growing
up or other psychological
problems all play a part.
