- O~anoW..kfrThne., W.dn..day~ D*.emb.r *~,1~O1 ~==m country and arounci the worici. More and more we realize that we live in a global community and wbat were minor adjustments of the past to kick-start an economy are to-day ineffécitve to mccl the conditions of change. George Bush, president of the United States, is being advised dxat the traditional cul ini taxation is not going to work in the recession of this particular period. And it could be said if Brian Mulroney threw out thc GST tax and Frce Trade with thc U.S. it too would flot be somneding that would sec tItis country bound abead economically. We do not live iniisolation for we are part of a world community and this outside influence grows ever stronger with thc great shifts tiiroughout the woqd. Oftcn it bas been mentioned that governmenl, industry and labour must work together as bas happened in Germany and la Japan. Unfortuantcly these have been but brave words widx uitle results 80 far in this countyr. It wil take a concerted effort on thc part of the tbree bodies to develop a trust and a creativeness dxat could have some effects. GM Canada last ycar called for meetings with labour to prepare conditions in wbich th ecompany could compete with planst in other centres for car production. It apparently bas been a slow process and littlc outward appearance of great success. 'Me future docs not look that bright witb White and Perrault possibly to hcad up the Canadian Labor Congess witb predictions of greater confrontation from thc labor firont. Add to thîs thc fact that thc Rae govemment and business are on the outs at thc present Iixie. Any hope of a major thurst from thc amalgamnation of industry, govemnment and labor seems almost impossible. Industryi lthe engine of a vibrant economy and one party on its own is not about tc tuin the tables of layoffs and the negative spin- offs it bas to one of emnployment and thc positive spin-offs it would bave. It takes more dxan words to ensure the future of dis country. Wide open for suggestions Our Prime Minister has suggested in a TV interview that be is widc open for suggestions and dxat dxc 18 proposais as setfordx by bis government could bc boiled down. One dings is sure after listening to a TV prograin thcre are a lot of opinions and aken from ail parts of dxc country dxey arc most diverse and in many cases mixed widx great emotion. Wbat we heard could bardly be a basis of any formulation for a new constitution. t would almost make onc drow up dxir bands in desperation. Wbat can an individual do may wcll be askcd and dxe subject is getting to bc somnewbaî monotonous cspccailly whcn dxerc la definitcly no progicss to any form of agreemnent. Certainly dxc 18 proposais could bc rcduccd in number but a clear understandable manner is somedxing dxat dxc "average Jac" is seeking. t is a shame to sec dxe country bcing tomn apart and we do necd some solid words widx reasonable approacbcs to dxc discussion on dxe constitution. We are doubtful dxat a Canada-widc referendum wauld be of much value judging from dxc determination there exits la dxc various parts of dxc cpuntry. Surely dxcre is a cause to set aside bittcrness and reacbing back int history to point a finger against dxc other side. Let thcre be undcrstanding and a great compassion ta kccp dxc country togcdxier. Kendal 1News Wcll, bere we are in a New Year, 1992. I hope tbat you ail hiad a good Christmas anti a safe New Ycars Eve.

(gulp) P er liap s more this those past,_there is More Of a lump in oui throats as we utter these tiaditional, hopeffl' sentiments to one another.

Howevér, the new year enterc without celebration and firQeworks, but wtth tender, delicate, hopes of just geting through these difficuit times. forever holding on to the thought that just maybc it won't last much longer.
