4 53 Dr. lan Wilsen, Liberal candidate for the riding of Durham Northumber- land with his wife Catherine and Jessie Robertson of Port Perry, after a meeting last Wednesday with senior citizens at the Latcham Centre. Visits Senior Citizens Wilson condems '*hate campaigns' The federal Liberal candidate seeking election in the riding of Durham- Northumberland has condemned the two opposi- tion parties for running what he termed strictly - "hate Trudeau campaigns." Speaking to a large group of senior citizens at Port Perry's Latcham Centre on May 9, Liberal hopeful Dr. Ian Wilson added that while constructive criticism is all right, 'the blanket condem- nation by the Tories and the New Democratic Party during the campaign is immoral." Dr. Wilson, a Cobourg surgeon, said that Canada's achievements are the envy of all countries, and prove that this country 'has had good leadership over the past ten years." He called the Tories and NDP campaign strategy an 8 . . SEAGRAVE -ONTARIO M & M TIRE Goodchild & Vanbeek SEAGRAVE Sales & Service J Quality Work - Reasonable Rates P.O. Box 1187.

At one point during his 25 minute address Dr. Wilson charged that the claims by the opposition parties that Canada is in a mess "'are an insult to the intelligence of people like you." "Show me a country anywhere in the world that has achieved as much as Canada," he said. Dr. Wilson, who was accompanied at the meeting by his wife Katherine, told the audience that as far as he is concerned the main issue in this election is national unity. "Without a united Canada", he said, '"The economy will not thrive or survive." While stating that he personally does not think the majority of people in Quebec want to separate from the rest of Canada, Dr. Wilson said that in the event that it did happen, the consequen- ces for the Ontario manufac- turing sector could be grave. If trade barriers went up, the market for a lot of products produced in Ontario could _dry up, he stated. He said that Prime Minis- ter Trudeau is the only person capable of dealing with the national unity questions, and claimed that the other parties have not shown an understanding of Quebec. "That's a fact of life," he said. "It may be a sad one, but it is true." Dr. Wilson, who practised medicine in Quebec City from 1957 to 1966, scoffed at PORT PERRY STAR -- Wednesday, May 16, 1979 -- 35 suggestions that the Prime Minister is to blame for the success of the Parti Quebe- cois three years ago. He said the people of Quebec had had a long succession of bad provincial governments, and they accepted the promise of the PQ to provide better govern- ment. Responding to a question about the emphasis in this campaign on leadership rather than policies, Dr. Wilson said he agreed that there is too much stress put on the "cult of leadership", and suggested that this may have been manufactured by the media, going back to the days of '"Trudeaumania" in the 1968 election campaign. Dr. Wilson also took a shot at the multi-national oil companies, suggesting that they just can't be trusted to develop and sell Canada's energy supply to the maxi- mum benefit of all Cana- dians. This is one of the reasons, he said, why the federal energy company Petro- Canada "'is here to stay". He also said Petro-Canada has a role to play in developing energy sources where the initial capital costs are too high for private enterprises, and mentioned the Alberta Tar Sands as an example. Dr. Wilson had been invited to speak at Latcham Centre by the Port Perry Senior Citizens Club. Both Conservative incumbent Al Lawrence and NDP candi- date Fred McLaughlin have spoken to the senior citizens in previous weeks.
