The opposition leader went on to say that he very aware of the threats that face the farming community through Mr. Mulroney's dealings with "his pal," President Reagan.

"It's my firm conviction that he and she don't want to be a part of an across the border free trade if that means disabling our farming structure." structure." He went on to say that even though most of the people in the audience and the country have wondered what it's like to be an American, we still don't want to lose our independence during trade negotiations with the U.S. "I like it here and you like it here and we deserve an independent country," Mr. Turner told the crowd. "The price of being Canadian is a price worth paying." Mr. Turner later described the effects effects of Mr. Mulroney's negligence as being psychological as well as economical. He said the farmers "wonder whether the rest of the country country really cares." The tone of his speech lightened, however, when Mr. Turner spoke of the gains being made by the Liberal party. "It's easier being a Liberal now than it was a couple of years ago," he joked. Referring to the last election, Mr. Turner revealed that it had been good for the party because they were forced to reassess their values.

And he was confident the Liberals would come back. He spoke of Liberal victories victories out west and said more would follow. "We're coming back." He also felt the gains being made by provincial Liberals like David Peterson Peterson marked a changing tide in the voters' feelings towards towards Conservatives, and pledged to play out his accords accords with the provincial Liberals. "We keep our word in our party," he said. He predicted Mr. Peterson Peterson would win the next elec- , tion with a majority. The speech concluded with an outline of the principles principles the federal Liberals had learned in the opposition. opposition. Mr. Turner said the party would reach out to new members without losing losing the old ones. He stressed stressed that they would encourage encourage hard work without forgetting those who need help. And he promised to return return to the next picnic as the Prime Minister of the country. He said that when he returned, his entrance will be more modest than any entrance Mr. Mulroney could make. "Maybe there'll be the odd mountie," he said. "But not any damn helicopter." He told the audience that the Durham region would see the return of the Liberals Liberals to power. "I don't consider consider any riding lost in advance advance and we will do everything everything we can to return these ridings to the Liberal fold." The speech was followed by a few words from M.P. John Nunziata, who also predicted the Liberals would be strong during future future elections. He said four recent Liberal elections in Alberta were a good indication indication of change out west and that New Brunswick Premier Premier Richard Hatfield would be a definite loser in the next election. "There's no doubt that he will literally go "up in smoke" in the next election," election," Mr. Nunziata said.
