2 The Canadian Statesman. Boxvmanville, August 8, 1984 OMB Decision From council with jurisdiction over the Courtice community since 1959. "The municipality has addressed the problems from all angles," he said. But Councillor Ann Cowman voiced voiced some sympathy for the request for a hearing before the Ontario Municipal Board. "I'm glad that this council is going to request an OMB hearing because this is going to a higher authority" she said. In addition to seeking an OMB ruling to resolve the dispute, council council also agreed to open its lines of communication with the Canadian Pagel Environmental Law Association and the Second Marsh Defence Association. Association. Councillor Diane Hamre noted that such a move is necessary in the light of future growth which may occur in Courtice. She introduced a motion which would result in a meeting between staff and the law association to discuss discuss concerns related to Courtice development and its potential impact impact on the Oshawa Second Marsh. That recommendation was unanimously unanimously approved by council. NDP Candidate Finds Election Indecision New Industries From tronic progression," said Mr. Ellies.

Roy Grierson, in Cobourg to do some mainstreeting during the sidewalk sale, said extensive canvassing in the Bowmanville and Darlington areas has revealed a wealth of voters who have trouble telling Grits from Tories. "There is a lot of undecided undecided voters out there and they are not NDPers...it's a dislike of the leaders (of the two other parties) that's causing it," Mr. Grierson Grierson said. He echoed the campaign message of NDP leader Ed Broad- bent, saying the two leaders -- with their corporate lawyer images images -- are very much alike and are therefore not giving voters any choice. "I have said and still say the only difference between a Liberal and a Conservative is an NDPer," Mr. Grierson said. The feeling of voters, he added, is often that they wish Mr. Broad- bent was a Liberal or Tory as they find him a much more attractive leader than either Liberal Liberal John Turner or Conservative Brian Mulroney. Mr Grierson said canvassing canvassing in the two areas has shown strong NDP support, but conceded the western area of the riding is traditionally an area of NDP strength. He will be canvassing in Cobourg this week and next. If Mr Grierson meets as - much indecision canvassing in Cobourg as he says he has in other centres, then the strategy being charted HELP US... HELP EACH ■OTHER Thanks to you it works... FOR ALL OF US Unibed Way by party workers in the town will be on target. Ben Burd, a Durham- Northumberland riding riding association executive executive member and a former NDP candidate provincially, said the undecided voter is the number one target for canvassers in Cobourg. "We have met a lot of people who don't like either of the parties and are going to vote NDP whether they like it or not," he said. The time is ripe, he added, for a protest vote. He said the economic ups and downs that have characterized the last number of years have disillusioned voters, and the result is no faith in either of the other two major parties. parties. He added the leading economic indicators in the United States are pointing to another downturn in that country, country, which will soon affect affect Canada. He said the Liberals would rather people not look too far into the future, because another recession recession is on the way. As far as the NDP's strategy goes, six of Cobourg's 22 polls have been targeted for intensive intensive canvassing. Based on the 1980 election results, results, the NDP goes after the polls which showed a low voter turnout, but strong NDP support; this is where there is the potential potential for gains. "Why should we go to some place like Roseneath, for example, example, where there is a 75 per cent turnout and we only got 9 votes? (in the last election" he said, noting those figures were not exact. Areas of former strength are, as well, the placêd to test current current party fortunes, Mr. l^urd sai i.

In a recent interview Grierson Grierson said job creation was the number one issue facing Canadians in the September 4 election. "I believe it is the small entrepreneurs who are going to create work and reduce our unemployment," he said. "Over half of working men and women are employed in plants with 20 or fewer employes. As automation expands, expands, our service industries are going to expand also." Grierson said that in ordei to put men and women to work the unfair tax burden or middle income earners must be reduced.
