In a statement released on Tuesday, Mills was critical of what he called "broken Liberal Promises" on such things as the environment, a free trade veto, increased spending for educa- tion. He noted that this "mid- term election" called by Premier David Peterson will cost tax- payers some $40 million, and said the election was called at ~ this time so the Liberal could avoid the fall-out of up-coming economic problems.

Bailie, CHIEF ELECTION OFFICER Published by the Office of the Chief Election Officer of Ontario Elections Ontario A non-partisan Agency of the Legislative Assembly KEEPING YOU INFORMED P3s on trail in Durham East The Family Party is op- posed to wide-open Sunday shopping, and believes that when one member of a family stays home to raise children, the family should receive tax breaks to make up for lost in- come. Crookall told the Star he knows his chance of winning this riding "is a long shot." "We want to make a state- ment about some things, and wake up the other parties," he said, "If another (political) party would adopt our policies, we'd be quite happy to stay home," he stated. The Family Coalition Party expects to field some 50 candi- dates in ridings across the prov- ince. In the last election, the Par- ty collected about 48,000 votes in Ontario. Crookall said he would like to see an improvement in the vote total, and have a couple of members elected to the Legisla- ture. Harry Tunbridge is an- other candidate who concedes little chance of winning the Durham East riding. He's the Confederation of Regions (COR) Party candidate who said bluntly "if the voters want something different, try us." Tunbridge, an industrial engineer, who came to Canada a decade ago from his native England, told the Star he thinks Canada is going the same route the UK did "finan- cially and morally." He's never sought elected office before. COR believes English should by the official working language in English-speaking Canada. Tunbridge said official bi- lingualism is too costly and has served to "separate the nation." He said government needs to be totally overhauled to re- duce waste and inefficiencies, and said environmental issues should be handled at the local level with technical and finan- cial help from senior govern- ments. Noting that COR, with its roots in Western Canada, is now one of the fastest growing parties in the country, Tun- bridge said he thinks the time is ripe for COR to send a few reps to Queens Park, where they can "start asking some tough ques- tions." There are about 70,000 eli- gible voters in the riding of Dur- ham East, said Returning Offi- cer Francine Newton. She'll be running this elec- tion out of the Returning Office in Bowmanville. Durham East is a large rid- ing with a mix of urban and ru- ral voters. The riding includes all of the town of Newcastle, Manvers Township, Scugog Township, Oshawa north of Taunton and Whitby north of Taunton Road. The western boundary of theridingis Durham Road 28. In the 1987 election, just under 30,000 votes were cast for the three candidates. The final day for filing nom- ination papers with the Return- ing Office is August 23. Enu- meration of voters will take place between August 9 and 14. Please recycle this newspaper
