year for Trudeau says Simcoe North MP By DR YNARD MISinicoe North The year which is fast com ing to its end has been bad year for the prime minister Many of his cabinet ministers have gone Mr Turner Mr Sharp Mr Drury Mr Mac kasey and Mr Marchand Andre Qucllet was out for ques tioning judges dec1ston and was found gUIlty of making ungentlemanly remarks None theless Mr lrudeau is running on talent No government can suffer the loss of that much ex perienced talent and not be hurt As there was no general election no neW members were brought into the House of Com mons from Which Mr lrudeaii could choose new cabinet ministers To add further to Mr Irudeaus woes his Liberal and mutual good friend Robert Bourassa was defeated in the election in Quebec about month ago This must here really shocked Mr lrudeau because he had sent two of his Quebec members of Parlia ment who had been cabinet ministers not only down to help but to run as candidates themselves Bryce Mackasey made it successfully but Jean Marchand was defeated To compensate for his defeat Mr frudeau immediately ap pointed Mr Marchand to the Senate EXPORTS DOWN In the country as Whole im ports were up and exports were down Our debut was worse than expected by almost $1 billion There was continuing stream of scandals on the governments mishandling of the economy They came and went like clockwork and in dicates for all time that our American neighbors have no BARRIE DENTURE CLINIC coutui 01 Complete Denture Service 7264721 149A Dunlop St Barrie Member Dehtwist Society of Ontario corner on Watergates Pro bably the worse blow of all of course was the defeat of the Liberal government in Quebec It is interesting to note that the votes were lost in the Frenchspeaking areas rather than in the Englishspeaking areas The Englishspeaking generally have voted Liberal and did so this time in spite of the fact that they had been taunted With Blll22 Rene Levesque former Liberal cabinet minister in the Lesage government in the 60s won far above the predictions of all the political pundits and now they are still stuck With Bill 22 which makes Quebec an unilingual provmce The only hint we have of what might become of this legislation IS that Mr Levesque has said that the economy is the number one priority The question now is will Mr Levesque lead Quebec out of Confederation What will the Prime Minister do to stop him It would appear to me that Mr Levesque will stay in Con federation if he receives enough sovereign autonomy Last week two of Mr Leves ques ministers attended the federalprovincial finance ministers meeting in Ottawa They both were capable fellows and were former advisors to the government in the 60s Mr Paizeau is brilliant economist and Mr Morin IS the realist type of politiman Mr Morin stated that Quebec would pur sue its goals The striking thing about it all IS basically the other provinmal finance min isters want the same thing more money from Ottawa and more authority and control for the provmces This is really What they are dickering about atthesemeetings Actually if suns Ottawa and Ottawa has brough it upon itself by saying that it was getting out of the sharevcost programs which were costing far too much MODERN DILEMMA Ottawa is on the horns of dilemma and the dilemma is that the provinces want enough tax points to cov the ad ministration of prog ams which the federal government forced on to them in the fields of education health welfare medical care and hospitaliza tion The provinces feel that they can handle such programs much better themselves It would mean that each pro Vinces standards might vary in quality and this was one of the cornerstones of the national medicare bill brought in by the government of Canada in 1969 The provmcial permiers met With Mr lrudeau in Ottawa this week and unquestionably Pierre Trudeau must be crystal ball gazmg at the present time This academically smart prime minister the master of chauvinsim unfortunately is not the mster of economics Will he try to court the Englishspeaking Canadians knowmg full well that Quebec Will support him Will Mr lrudeau say that he is the only one who can hold Canada together It is me as prime minister or we are through Would he dare If he did so would Canadians follow Perhaps we should close on little different note May Pierre and his family and all the other political leaders have

ing was from the New York Times and it indicated the amount of shopping being done by Canadians in the towns and cities in the United States lying along the border survey revealed that goods and supplies were much cheaper on the American side The heaviest trading perhaps was done by those living in the province of British Columbia Canadas fastest growing pro vince With very high cost economy For every article purchased of course that money stays in the United States to further its economy It is true that Canada has had lower rate of produc tiVity over the past few years than the United States The American superior technology and mass production has made it difficult for us to meet their competition In the past it was met by lower wages Today it is no longer true as some wages as in the British Columbia forest industry for example have ex ceeded those in many parts of the United States The average factory wage in British Colum bia in April 1976 was $32248 per week In April 1975 it was $30013 per week This of course we must remember is higher than the wages in On tario and the national average LARGER LTPLT Canada is dependant upon 25 cents of every dollar earned on its exports If we cannot export and meet competition our whole standard of living suf lers It follows that there are two ways to meet this increase PUBLIC WORKS First we must increase our productivity per man hour by more efficient machines and newer methods which of course must be found by more research Peter Pearse research economist at the University of British Columbia states that we need stable labor force with incentives management that has closer corelation with the labor force so that these ob jectives can be reached The government itself and indeed industry and labor have all contributed to the higher costs To overcome this they must now work and push in the field in which they have com petitive advantage with the natural resources that are ours and With the use of newer technology Industry knows that certain percentage of their production comes from certain areas that account for their profits It is in these areas that they should if possible make their push TRADE DEFICIT We must also have new in novations which are not found elsewhere These should be developed to their fullest ex tent ft is true that we have made most of our headway by exporting raw resource ma terials but this does not produce Jobsasdoes manufacturing We have for far too long been depending upon selling our raw resources abroad One only has to look at agriculture to realize that $15 billion was our value of exports over im ports in this field This certain ly does help our balance of payments but if we have and possess the necessary foreSight and vi5ion and proper climate of awareness 1977 can be much brighter picture in spite ofallourdifficultiesahead I977 GARBAG COLLECTION EFFECTIVE JANUARY IST I977 REGULAR GARBAGE COLLEC TION DAYS WILL BE ROTATED AS FOLLOWS Present Collection Wednesday
