a jj i ygagpeamjjbbm i hi miiwj i r t p 6 tribune november 1 1995 sr residents breathe a sigh of relief as quebec votes to retain its place in canada heres how stouffville residents reacted to a slim no vote in mondays quebec referendum alex harris broadcaster and author my reaction is a sigh of relief quick ly followed by a wish that we will all get together and start straightem so it doesnt happen every 10 years i triihk this country is salvageable and i hope it is because itsthe best country in the world to live in but we cant just say the vote has been decided and expect the khpw what we need to dp but i dont have great prpblertis acknowledging quebec as a distinct society arid if we have to dp something within or around the constitution to make them feel they are part of the country its worth doing loretta lavell realtor vl dont feel were any fur- theraheadbecause this doesnt give usaiclearmes- sage arid weve been in thissituation before its ironic that on the one hand you have europe pulling together after hundreds of years just as canada seems to be falling apart ken may realtor its just going to be a repeat performance iri onetwoor 10 years i think you could compare it to a child thats threatening to leave homer history will tell you that the more you give in to themiythe worse it gets somebods got to put their foot down jarid tell them they have to decide whether they want in or out if they want out cestla vie good bye wv- v l ing im pleased it would have been such a shame to have the breakup of our country it was scary we get a lot of things from montreal mohsen dastoom owner of two four one pizza canadians must stay togeth er its a perfect way it makes canada strong but only when we are one linda evans employee of andre kozak law office voting no was in the best interest of all quebecers are canadians first and foremost the people of quebec could have done them selves a real diseryice i dont think they could survive alone dastoom emmerson whitchurchstoufrville mayor wayne emmerson it feels great quebec wants to stay with us we can now go back and revisit the constitution hope fully we can go forward arid be a more positive country councillor judy scala obviously- delighted we can now proceed as brie voice and we can con tinue to be a strong voice in the world councillor ivanka bradley my heart was say ing stay with us but i had a fear a canada is new obrunswick manitoba quebec and all the others without one it is rip longer canada bowes harry bowes school board trustee t prefer the status quo but i do have mixed feelings about their attitude towards english eariadians i hear some of their businessmen talk and they say that they are tired of paying heavy taxes and seeing their money go to the havenot provinces but i dont think they know about the transfer payments that are goirig into quebec they get riiore than ontario forthmgs like second language education that they probably dont even use and i dont know that the people there are being given the right story t john lord book store owner for once i find myself on the side of the angels hells angels that is who supported the nbside i think a no votelis the best thing for canada because i would hate to see the country fragmented the problem is the people who are dedicated to the yes side are going to start the whole process off again regardless of the vote and i dont know any way around that glen eagle minister of claremont united church its much better that we dont separate i hope in time people will see the wisdom of staying together but i think its unfor tunate people find it difficult to see themselves as distinct but equal its like a little kid who insists on leaving home it doesnt matter what you say or do that kid will always find some reason to leave durhamyork mpp julia munro there is now an opportunity for renwed federalism i was quite worried for a while it certainly was a nail bitting night jones ku jones employee of inside out decorat- eric paszat vice president of sales arid marketing for stouffvilles cable tech paszat company im relieved the no side prevailed i dont think anyorie in this country thinks a no victory like this means more of the statusquo it just means we now realize canada is top fragile to ever allow the politicians to have all the coritrol again canada must try to establish better ties with quebec ori a persoritppersbri basis so this will never happen again how much do we really kriowin english canada about quebecs culture lets have a unity rally six months from now to celebrate the

country the i united nations said we arethe riarrow margin of victory reiriforces the fact that everyone wants change but not at any price jacques parizeaus attack on ethnic quebecers and anglophones who didnt vote yes will end up as a positive for canada it will speed the demise of a parasite that was the best thing to come out of the referendurii munro bud chepack farmer i feel happy theyre staying with us but theyre already talking about another referendum this is going to keep going on until they get their yes vote theyve given quebec enough lets get on with life stronach i fee legion ladies auxiliary president gladys clarkson thats great i reauy think canada needs quebec and quebec needs canada and they can still work together i hope canadians and quebecers alike will make it their busi ness to find out what it will take to hold the country together in the future i dont think the average person has gotten into it too deeply more of us in the rest of canada should learn more about quebec culture many have learned already but many still havent sb s-
