Despite his leaâer's early attempts te distance herself from Brian Mulroney, Sootens has no qualma about defending his 988.rment's performance since Ho said there has been ne tax increase for the past three years and for two of them there was a tax reduction. 'Tm net saying forget what - happened, but elections are based on the future not the pat,» said Soetens.

Whilo his Reform Party apponent claims Canada'scrn- mmal justice eystem could be the «sleeping gant' of the camnpaign, Sootone again defendehnis government. "Theres no doubt a lot of people are concerned," ho said, %'ut I will be quite happy te campaignon Lmyrcd. S et nai the last parlia- ment passed 14 separate eiece of legislation dealing with cri- minai justice reform. "Thats net enough, we will do more," hé said. For Liberal candidate Dan McTefgue, «putting people back te, work, is the campaignes «number one issue. A public relations officer with Toyota Canada, McTeague, 30, said every other issue pales in comparison with the country's unemploymentproblem. "Sure the deficit ie important, but you can't psy down tre defi- cit on people who are not work- ing,"ho said. Th;e Liberals will base their campaign on the "real casualties" of nine years of Conservative rule, "the unemploed, the underemployed," said McTeague. Making his firast attempt at political office, McTe5e welco- med the election as long over- due.» Ho said Canadians have "every reason te question this govern- ment on legislation they had no right to paso," such as the North Anierican Pree Trade Agreement (NAFTA) and drug patent protec- tion. "There is a great mood of despair and pessimism eut there and we will place it squarely at the foot of the Conservatives," McTeague said. Like McTeague, Whitby rosi- dent Lynn Jacklin is making her fliret run for public office. A high school teacher, Jacklin aise cites unemployment as the major concern. "I think the jobs issue is ver strong. Generaly people are fveel- ing quite insecure," said the 48- year-old New Democrat. This feeling of insecurity car- ries over te other areas as well, Jacklin said. "People want te be guaranteed that medicare is protected, edu- cation is preserved.A.hat their taxes are ongito things that serve ppi, se sa id. "But I think meet people are just concerned that they have some hope for the future. That they willhave jobs, good jobs, net part-time." Jacklin disagrees with some pundits and pelitical commenta- tolrs that leader Audrey McLaughlin will pay the price for the unpopularity of provincial NDP gvernents and that the party's future msy well hinge on this electian. «Certainly not (pending dem- ise), people h ave warked 60 years for it (MDPand i te CCF pro- decessor)," she said. "People realize what the NDP represents. I think aur suýPr tors are standing behind us. o Reformn Party candidate Don Sullivan said the election in Ontario riding will be decided on taxes, jobs and the economy." 'People are over-tsxed and ,they want te get the economy going, " said the first-time candi- tice." Sullivan, whose daughter was killed in 1980, said tightening the justice system wiIl be a mjor plank in hie party's plat- forn, aln? with the economy an eoýJmgparUamont. «We want t make MPs more accountable," hoe aid.
