The public is syn that the scbool system is to serve the cb-ildren, no t the- teachers. Thle public is syn that it wants a better job dcone, that, it wants a scbool system- to capture tbe interest of the young not deaden it. It is a bealthy reaction. Tho board would not isten. A lot of teachers would not listen, eitbier. If the board would not listen to the pub- lic, perbaps it also would not listen to the good teachers.

Tbere's a typîcel Canadien tragedy ire the making rigbt now, and it rnay be too late ta avert it, unless there is a bue and cry ihet will raille the halls of parliement. I use ibe word "typicel" because it bas bappereed agaîn and again in tbis country, and we bave lived ta regret it. Prornptedi by poitical or pecuniary motives, Canada bas gone a long way toward destroying îts very self and the thiregs that meke it most dear to the average Canadien, I arn referring ta pollution aned the disturbance of the, balance of nature. Ire the reamfe of progress we have fôuled our own nest, lime and again, until an outsider would think we enjoyed living in aur own mess., Item. Lake Erie, with some friendly help from aur old buddies, the Yareks, bas been turned int a vast cesspool, whicb is almost unreclaimable., Item. Paper milîs and other indus- tries have beere pourireg their, poisons into LakeSuperior for years. Item. If you took a drink of water out of Harnilton bey, you'd prohably be rusting witbin twenty-four hours. Item. Huge industries continue ta belh into the air over aour big cities, until you'd tbirek there was a continuel f ell of black snow. Item. Two of Our magnificent rivers, the Ottawa aned the SI. Lawrence, are ruinning, 'open sewers. Tbet's a very brief sampling, And now ithat; idiot Bourassa, prime minis- ter of Quebec, in an attereplta c ave face after misbaredling everylhirig from 1the FLQ kidnappings ta the unemploy- mrent situation, bas launched the James Bey Project. Maybe you dor't know mucb about it, and it's ail so fanaway that it's ike a flood in China, But thiat's wbat we tbougbt about ahi the other sigres of "progress", is it, no t? r"Oh, tbey'hl neyer pollute the Great Lakes. Tbey'ne too big. Sa dump the gerbag2e boys, aned flush out bbe tanks." "WÀhpt? Pollute the Ottawa and the St1. Lawrence? Impossible. Too much running water.

The Quebec goverrnret plans a hydro project in the James B3ay area, one of the last great wihderness areas ine eastern North America. It is a mammotb scheme.c Some estimates place the cost et -$10 billion. Yep. Billion. Where is that kind of money gaing to corne frorn? Plan- is to tinker with up to ten dams and seven rivers wbich run into James Bay. The damàge to the area ef- fected, 170,000 squaremiles, larger than the wbohe United Kingdom , is incalcul- able. The euh-soul, known ta be unstable, bas taken bundreds' of years to buîld up on the1 solid rock. The trernendous weigbt Df water in the artificial lakes - some of tbemn 70 miles long - could cauise earthquakes, landslides, who know,,s,\wat? The lakes themselves are big ereough ta affect te climate of the whole area, Worse, the change ire fresb-water flow into James Bay could deîay the spring breakup ire the Bey, and make winter longer. Tih -is could affect the tempera- ture of the water flowincrout of Hudson Be-y, wbicb joins the Labrador current going south, and this, in turre could make te wbole eastern seeboard colder, Project this a ltte further and At could affect the entire fishing industry on the Atlantic shores. And worst of e1l is the callous dis- regard oif the native peoples of the area. Tbey are Cree Inidians, who eke a meegre living fnorn the fîsh, geese and moose of ibis bleak area., These people have neyer been conquered, neyersold their land, aned neyer ceded it by treaty. They are ta be uprooted and trans- plareted. So we blave the ironic spectacle of the federal governement on the one hand creaiing vasf new national parks, and on t1ie ather condoning, if nat ap- proving, the possible destruction of an- other vast area. This is not progress. This is rape. And for what? Sure, it wilh create temporary jobs ire Quebec for a large numJ1ber. A few people will become. wealthy. But it Mill do notbîng for the long- tarm urnmploYment situation in Que- bec, wbere unempîoymeni seldom goesi below 1e2i e pr cent.
