Mr. Brandon acknow- ledged that teachers object- ions to a similar problem with the former government of British Columbia two years ago may have contri- buted to that government's defeat, but he just smiled when asked if there is a possibility of the same thing happening in Ontario. In British ~~ Columbia teachers donated to an election fund to help defeat the government.
