2-Orono Weekly Times, Wednesday, April 29th, 1987 Much has already been said add written of the recent Constitutional Accord agreed upon at Meech Lake between the federal government and ' the provinces. It may be sometime before the general public will be able to determine what was given away and what received to reach this accord. But it seems that the federal government did give away the lock and key to the provinces and especially to Quebe^This is likely borne out by a statement by Premier Bourassa of Quebec when he states that as a result of the accord Canada is to be a much more decentralized country than prior to the Meech Lake accord. Certainly Prime Minister Mulroney, looking for some ■ movement in popularity, hastens to satisfy all demands from the provinces and that was what he, in fact, did. He met the demands of Quebec, the demands of Alberta and Newfoundland. Newfoundland. It is as Bourassa, states, a further decentralization of Canada with greater leverage going to the provinces. Surely it has weakenbed the federal system of government. The granting of veto powers for some aspects of constitutional constitutional change to the province is not even in the interest of a democracy when generally the majority rule. In this case of the Senate and other changes one province can block any move or hold the rest of the rountry up for ransom. We are aisappoitited with Premier David Peterson in this affair and had hoped that he would have carried a nationalistic view to the bargaining table. It appears he was satisfied with the turn of events and the additional powers given to the provinces. Mulroney was supposedly noted as a negotiator but giv-' ing away all in sundry to get an accord is far from any sign of a negotiator. An active week in Orono and area Last week was full of activity in Orono with the Town Hall art show, the Not Just Fashions fashion show, the 75th anniversary of the Oddfellows Lodge and the Status of Women seminar for female students of grades eight and ten. Not to be forgotten is the music night at the Pines and a concert at Kirby Public. The art show had to be one of the better shows as to exhibits of both art, photography and even to quilting. It also had a social aspect as, of course, was also true when the Oddfellows gathered to celebrate their anniversary. The fashion show had to be pleasing as well as interesting as local models showed off various attire and colour schemes. The Status of Women seminar challenging young teenage girls to prepare for the future in a changing period of time was a most worthwhile worthwhile undertaking and enthusiastically accepted. Although we may not agree with all the keynote speaker had to say her address was stimulating and just what the doctor ordered for this occasion. , Music night at the Pines can be lengthy but it is great to see the numbers performing as solo acts and in groups and certainly everyone has the opportunity to perform, which should be the case. And not forgetting Kirby the sqhool always puts on a good show with the student body all taking part. There is much left to enjoy in this country and it is present in this area. - KENDAL YOUNG MEN SUFFER SERIOUS BURNS James Forth, 21 and Leon Hawke, 18, both of Kendal were rushed rushed to Wellsley Street Hospital early Sunday morning with second and third degree burns.
