about protecting freedom and individual rights it is only to bc cxpccted the question of democratic responsibility should frequently come up It was back in the 18th century when Edmund Burke said during one of his many stirring speeches in the British House The price of liberty is eternal vigilance Perhaps attention also should be drawn to another of this notcd Parliamentarians famous quotes In this Parliament there are three estates the Lords spiritual the Lords tcmperal and the Commons but in the rcportcrs gallery yondcr there is Fourt Estate morc important by far then all For those who believe that the principles of freedom should bc constantly reaffirmed modern Tanadian statcsman before he entered politics once wrote Democracy is superior to other political systems becausc it Solicits thc cxpiess agreement of the people and thus avoids the ncccssity of violent change In his book Approachcs to Politics Pierre Elliott Trudeau also wrotc it is intoleratc that one man should claim to know better than the majority what social and political order is good for thcm if it is to establish an order which citizens will agrce to support the state must go further than mcrcly investigating their needs it must chouragc them to demand what thcy consider just in this way democracy becomes system in which all citizens participatc in government Another quotation from thc book says Democracy is thc only form ofgovernmcnt that fully respects the digni ty of man becuusc it alonc is based on tho belicf that all men can bc madc fit to participate dircctly or indirectly in thc guidance of the society of which they are mcmbeis Other quotations include The people are frec and can be ruled only so far as they agrec to obey Thc true statesman is not one who givcs orders to his fellow citizcns so much as hc is one who devotcs himsclf to their service And thc Ontario chartcr of principlcs citcd by Premier Davis before the last provincial election said Real frcedom can be achicved and maintained only when government is prcpared to limit its own growth power and costs It should bc constantly remembered that an important part of that freedom is the peoples right to know which makes libcrfy of thc mcdia chential This libcrfy was not won in Canada any morc than in Britain without scvere struggles and pcrsonal suffering as every history student knows down memory lane

brain washed mc with an impression of parliament lvc never been ablc to shake long held one imagc in particular in volving frockcoated men with muttonchop whiskers ponfiiicating with ringing words of wisdom about the great issues of the day The reality of the Ontario legislature makes hain of those youthful visions Out of 123 mcmbcrs thcrc are perhaps dozcn good speakers men with varying dcgrecs of forccfuliiCss and eloquence in their speech But thcrc isonly onc orator BEST MAN Stephen Lcwis isnt just the retiring leader of the New lcmocratic Party in many ways hes the retiring lcadcr of the legislature He gives it class and tone during debate that no one clsc in the house can match Evcn whcn hcs being outrageously socialist hcs impossible not to admire Lewis is an expcrt in the art and an art it ismoi stringing words together in uncom monly skillful ways Hes not tubvthumping political speaker the kind who uscs volumc hatchetlike to hack at his opponents Rather hes the intellectual cutting neatly but dceply with verbal rapier During much of thc Scssion thats just on dcd Lewis was on holidays and his presence was sorely missed No onc on the NDP ben chcs comes anywhere nca his talents LRR IONGLE His wit alonc cndears him to journalists The NDP bus that carried Lewis and the press during thc last election campaign was rather accurately labclled Stephen Lewis and Friends Who elsc but Lewis whcn askcd about the qualifications for thc next NDP leader would answer by mOcking his own hawklike fcatures Thc qualifications are to be rounded and chcrubic of visage so that the cartoonists will have terrible time hc said The response was pcrfect humorous con taining touch of truth and perfect deflec tion of tough question he didnt want to an swcr Lewis likes to caution people that his resignation as leadcr is just that not an obituary Canadas story Head cut off for treason BOB BOWMAN Until recently there was common ex pression Hanging is too good for some people Those lawmakers who agreed added an ad ditional punishmenti being drawn and quar tcrcd it didnt make any difference to the victims biit it must have satisfied thesadists The last time anyone was drawn and quar tered in anada was on July 21 1797 when David McLanc was hanged at Quebec He had been guilty of cooperating with agents from France who were trying to persuade Canadians and Americans to join the war against Britain The incident was reporth in the Quebec Gazette published on July 27 1797 copy of which is in the National Archives The prin ting is iii old English in which the letter looks likc but here is the report in modern printing On Friday fast at 10 oclock David McLanc who was convicted of High Treason and received scntencc of death on the 7th in stant was taken from the common Gaol and placed upon hurdle which moved in slow march towards the place of execution at tended by the Sheriff and Peace Officers of the District military guard of 50 men and great multitudc of spectators About quar fer after to thc hurdle drew up close of the Gallows erected upon the Glacis without the Garrison wall As soon as it stopped McLane went up drbsscd in white lincn Grave Cloaths and wore white cap on his head The Rcvcrcnd Mr Mountain and the Reverend Mr Spark attended him and With them he continued in fervent prayer for some minutes He then informed the executioner thathe was ready and was by him directed to ascend the ladder which he immediately did But the executioner observing that he was too high he descended step or two and then addressed the spectators McLanes speech is too long to quote here but when he finished hc draw the cap over his face and droppcd handkerchief as signal to the executioner who instantly turned him off The body was cut down after minutes and placed on platform whcrc as the report continued The hcad was cut off and the executioner holding it up to public View proclaiming it the Head of Traitor An in cision was madc below the breast and part of the bowels taken out and burnt The four quarters were marked with knife and were not divided from the bible thought Our help is in the name of the Lord who madc heaven and earth Psalms 1248 Dont you think thats good enough and that He is big enough to answer any problem or handle any hurt that you have or ever will have God lovesdyou Jesus died for you Lift up your head an praise Him
