the Voters lists iobbed out Federal elections are costly undertakings Part of that cost involves the printing of preliminary voterslists In Simcoe South lists must be printed for 57000 riding voters The printer also prepares election ballot forms legislature $200 Million in promises $299le in promises PQ game wont work in Ontario It is sizcablc job Formerly the work was always contracted to local printer This election year in brand new riding the job as gone to Swrborough company Because it was oneprice contract cost was not factor The leClSlOfl apparently was based on the chosen firms ability to do the best job Theres no question the company chosen has done finejob Indeed the lists have arrived in homes ahead of schedule But there is principle involved The principle is whether government contracts should be awarded locally wherever possible Obviously keeping the work at home is of economic benefit to the community And local work opportunities are part of what this elec tion is all about The fact is Simcoc South is not alone in what has happened Several ridings this year have lost election printing jobs to big city printers We are concerned not only for their loss of business Our concern extends to future government contracts and whether government contractors Wlll consider local contrac tors capablc of doing the job We wonder if some sort of policy is needed It seems to us that if local contractor 18 Willing and agrees to undertake government contract then thats exactly where the work should go Dear Sir There has been great deal of heat generated lately but very little light in the recent pronouncements in the press on annexation and par ticularly in regard to my involve ment in attempting to assist in resolving this matter The time has come to clarify number of points At no time have attended nor has the Greater Barrie Chamber of Commerce sanctioned in any way meeting secret or otherwise of any group of Barrie Council members It is not up to me or the Chamber to be involved with or sanction any such meetings For me or the Chamber to do so would not only be improper but more important it did not hap pen The position of our Chamber is and has been that we are concerned with the lack of availability of suffi cient industrial land to take ad vantaagc of growth opportunities now and in the next two to four years The present and future uncertainty caused by failure to resolve this issue will be costly in lost jobs lost commercial activity lost taxes for our area thii the matter is finally concluded at further lzirgc cost to us all through and planning fees we cannot assume that those opportunities can be recouped in the next decade if we miss the coming period of economic recovery letters to the editor that we should have any role in establishing the boundaries or con ditions of annexation Only the coun cils can make those decisions They came tantalizingly close to reaching solution some weeks ago did however make an effort through discussions with the mayor and severl aldermen not at any secret meetins but through conversation individually to learn if they felt we could assist in any way to resolve the roadblocks and to communicate to them the penalties this area will have to pay by continuing this costly and bitter dispute without ex hausting all settlement alternatives We still hope that the councils will see fit to resume negotiations soon We as the Chamber involved in our community and our economic future remain strongly convinced that the interests of all parties re quire an early but realistic resolu tion of the matter To Shirk our responsibilities to assist if possible and to stay silent when future jobs and assessment are on the line is more comfortable but totally un thinkablc hope this will end the un fortunate misstatements of recent days in regard to our position and my activities Thank you Yours very truly Peter Howden Parliament Hill By STEWART MacLEOD Ottawa Bureau Thomson News Service Before being interrupted by an illtimed illness we had been talking about how political leaders with one slight slip of the tongue can do more effective job of destroying their own candidates than all the combined forces of the opposition At that time Prime Minister Trudeau had just gone into rural Quebec and without much forethought declared that farmers were bunch of grumblers The Liberal candidates in the area all dedicated to wresting the farm vote away from local Social Credit candidates obviously didnt applaud It hurt But that particular slip was mere childs This article was prepared by the Fire Chief and identifies the many activities and respon sibilities of the Barrie Fire Department The Department consists of Mayors report Fire department had busy year play compared with the incredible ob servation by Conservative Leader Joe Clark that Quebecers dont have the right to self determination Heaven knows that Tory candidates in Quebec have enough inherent problems trying to win votes without their national leader running this particular in terference play And it cant be excused on the grounds that it suddenly popped up as surprise subject We all remember the AfterYouAlphonsc routine of Joe Clark and Toronto candidate David Crombie over whether Tory government would even discuss sovereignty association with Quebec The obvious lesson from that confused exchange was that apart from expressing confidence in the future of Canada you shy away from specifics when it full time Training Officer for the department for the training of both full time and part timc firefighters Training includes all aspects of firefighting fire prevention And how jusla few Choice words from Their ogfllXol 5P0er Clark hard line on Quebec could create future problems comes to negotiating any form of separatism N0 DEALS Prime Minister Trudeau has managed nicely by oversimplifying or sidestepping with such phrases as Ill never negotiate away the future of my country The New Democrats have emphasized the fact that the other provinces would never participate in any special economic associations with an in dependent Quebec And after Clark and Crombie got their act together the Tory leader also appeared to be on safe ground again with his assurances that he would not negotiate any economic deals with an in dependent Quebec But Quebecs right to selfdetermination has never been an issue in itself except for the constitutional experts Candidates for all parties in the provinces have been consistent in arguing that the wishes of the people should be respected Even the most ardent federalists have never suggested that the rest of Canada should ignore Quebec referen dum that would support any form of sep aratism So why did Clark without any obvious pressures decide to declare that Quebec does not have the right to vote itself out of Con federation Regardless of the constitutional arguments its something that is simply not said while your own candidates arc arguing the democratic delights of remaining Canadian Clarks unnecessary observations have created enormous difficulties for hard pressed Tory candidates in the province STRONG REACTION By DEREK NELSON Queens Park Bureau Thomson News Service TORONTO In early June Premier William Davis will lay before the legislature resolution that will reject negotiation of sovereigntyassociation between Ontario and Quebec Both the Liberals and NDP in the House will likely support such resolution unanimously And its passage is intended to signal to the Quebec electorate that the Parti Quebecois independence shell game called sovereignty association is nonsta rter here Which is good if overdue The Davis resolution promised in the March Throne Speech appears to be part andparcel of growing consensus in English Canada on how to handle the threat of Quebec separation Federal Progressive Conservative leader Joe Clarks statement that one province cannot unilaterally destroy Confederation is asimiliar response EVEN IIONEST Even federal Liberal dogma as expounded by Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau that Quebec does not have the right to self dctcrmination but that Quebecers do treads the same ground In short EnglishCunada will not discuss sovereigntyassociation with the PQ Nor even with yes vote on an honest independence referendum can Quebec opt for Rhodesianstyle unilateral declaration of independence Ten provinces and Ottawa also have say in separation And this is not the game the PQ is playing They assume independence that referendum is just formality and that EnglishCanadas reaction is irrelevant VERY NICE When Premier Rene Levesque and Davis swapped visits in 1977 and 1978 it looked like the Tory leader had swallowed the PQ bait Davis was quiet conciliatory and adopted business as usual stance with Quebec as though it were any other province Which is exactly the kind of fraternal relations Levesque says sovereignty associalion or independence will guarantee The fact nothing of substance emerged from the meetings and that linguistic curtain continued to fall along Ontarios eastern boundary was glossed over It took mischievous and unfair in Davis words speech by Levesque in the US to stir the Ontario premier into some harsh words for his Quebec counterpart DANGER TOO And later in Pctcrborough he vowed there is no way we will accept sovereignty association by default We wont sit back silently The resolution hell lay before the House is part of that active rebuttal of the PQ fairy tale being fed Quebec There is danger here of course of over reaction of stirring the spines of the Quebec nationalist hedgehog and producing some kind of emotional identification with the PQ But there is greater danger in letting the PQ sail their merry way with Quebecers in tow while telling all only fair winds will come from yes vote Even the separatist Quebec media will have to acknowledge unanimous motion of the legislature of the countrys largest and nchcst
