C-apita Canada has had enoughl of the u ncertainty caused by the separatists in Quebec. if Quebecers vote in favour of staying in Canada, 1 thtnk we should go a step further. The Quebec National, Assembly should declare no more referendums be under- taken in Quebec. And the federal govern- ment should pass legisation stating that as a nation we consider referendums on separation treasonous. One brave soul has proven through the courts what we already know. The process undertaken by the separatists is filegal. This doesn't bother the separatists. They already had constructed the ques- tion which would begin a process for negotiating ."association?" with the rest of Canada. What separatists don't understand is that as far as the rest of Canada is con- cerned negotiations are over. Maxîy nations have less political power than Quebec. The Province of Quebec col- lects its own income tax, controls immigration polcy and takes part in interna- tional francophone confer- ences. We now have to .ask our- selves how many times can a nation be divided? And can we continue to live this way? Quebec's provincial per capita debt is the highest in Canada. This has nothing to do with the administra- tion in Ottawa and every- thing to do with the running of the province in Quebec In the duet class Shiane andi Kyle 'Cook piaced flrst, Ken Knights and Karen.. Dares p)laced second and Rachel and Max Dares third. Trophy and money was donated by Calvin and Dorothy Crago. In tlhe open class Mathew Johnston placed first and received the Orono & District Fiddle Club trophy. Michael Lamoire placed sec- ond, Murray Kronis placed 3rd and Shane Cook placed fourth. Bob Arbuckle and Bill Batten were the judges for the contest. Others taklng part in the program were Howard and Jean Edgerton c1ggging and Minnie Pearl from ILindsay with her lokes.

Byv the way that provin- cial debt has grown the most when separatist govern- ments are i power. -While financial markets have discounted a separatist win nothing is certain. Poils show the separatists would win a referendum held right now. As I've written before, if you arrange a new mort- gage, or try to pay off your credit card account, the interest rate is higher because of Quebec's inter- nal problemns. You know 1 get mad when I think of Bouchard ram- bling on about how Canada has embarrassed Quebecers, slapped them li the face, and made them culturally subservient to the rest of North America. And lie does this right i our House of Comm-ons. Yet Bouchard, the public parasite that he is - he's had nothing but taxpayers money to live on since Brian Mulroney got him appointed to the Cliche Commission - wants that cushy MPs pen- sion paid by the taxpayers of Canada. My conclusion is he lacks morals and certainly has no ethics. He, and his provin- cial counterparts, are noth- ing but self-serving. From my vantage point 1 only see proud Quebecers, glfted in the arts and cul- ture, a new generation just beginnlng to take their place in business and finance. Under the leadership of Bouchard and Parizeau they will be relegated to third world status. They will not. enJoy the FTrom The Inside coentinued from page 13 played and to realize how well it was being played by the band fromn Wales. Nine concerts played as one producing one harrion- ic sound as did the four bases, three banitones, four alto horns and trombones. Each section was i balance withirn the section and in balance wlth ail other sec- tions. No doubt it is the resuit of experlence and a commit- ment on the part of all the members of the band. It was great to hear and a lesson to learn. The visiting band is a reserve band with members practicing together once a wxeek and who take part on one trip each year. It was the flrst time for many of the members being in Canaa and distance was one factor thiat they were having diffi- culty in comprehendf-ig.

Not to be overlooked was the offering of the Fife and Drumi Band on parade and with their demonstration. With a smile John Lowery, a former miember of the Kendal Fife and Drum Band said this was the best part of the whole program. For John no doubt it was. The audience was well entertained with a swell bal- anced musical program being with the traditional fanfare and flourishes played with fanfare and trumpets. This was followed by popular selections by the band including a cornet duet, a rouslng bass solo, a frolic for trombone forty-five minutes Ceremonial Retreat concluded the evening along with the usuail presentations and the final March Post with the salute beig taken by Councillor Ann Dreslinski, the Mayor's dele- gate for the evening.
