Advertising Manager Second Milt DAVE Editor PHONE 0 Page 4 SECTION A THE HERALD Wednesday July 31 IMS Tourism lets not ignore it Halton tourism study couldn have come at a bet ter time While the streets of Acton and Georgetown look barren on a hot sunny mid summer s day a tourism study is winding down It s telling us how to attract new visitors to Halton Region and Hills While a few of the suggestions may sound dish there s some good advice squeezed in between the covers The report suggests an increased spending on promoting sites most likely to interest tourists Halton Region doesn have a common identity from a traveller s standpoint but there are collective themes that could be stressed in a major promotion The Region is blessed with a variety of interesting places to visit We need to get that information out to tourists so they won just pass us by on their way to Niagara Falls or Toronto The study will hopefully gain acceptance and be of interest to the business community We have to start thinking more about the economic benefits of tourism to Halton Hills The study real message is that shouldn t be left behind when considering the tourism dollar Increased tourism will help to ease unemployment and will benefit already established businesses Not productive A recent discussion about the development of property by the International Peace Camp was poorly handled Two weeks ago council went to the trouble of holding a special meeting to allow residents a chance to voice their concerns Since 1983 residents in the area surrounding the property on the Milton Halton Hills town line have been seeking answers about the rural property Although the meeting was nastily called invited representatives from the Milton town council decided not to attend Local councillors could have used their support In addition there weren any representatives from the Niagara Escarpment Commission except Actons Dave Whiting The NEC plays a part in the jurisdiction over the land use Because they only accept written submissions and don t hold public meetings it would have been an in vitation worth accepting But the lawyer representing the International Peace Camp botched the meetings purpose by refusing to divulge what everyone wanted to know He instead asked for a single trailer permit to ward off vandalism Councillors and residents affected by the property want to know what the Peace Camp have in store for future development At one time a plan had been proposed for a massive recreational facdity but today everyone still In the dark The Peace Camp property has been a major concern in town although the land is but a small parcel tucked away in the corner of Halton Hills The town and residents need support in their talks with the Peace Camp lawyers and representatives In turn the landowners need to come clean with their plans for developing their property We can only afford a vacation if you hand deliver the postcards Moves to cripple Pony MUCH DIFFERENT Though the cases are different both attacks are wrong headed The argument against Japanese car manufacturers is hat they take 18 per cent of our market but neither many parts her nor Invest here One thing is certain Ontario legislators t going to mount a Cony and ride off into the sunset In tact they seem to want to cripple it before it gels to run The Hyundai Pony built in South Korea was one of the first targets here of the new Liberal government a campaign against automobile imports In true smothering Ontario fash Ion me Progressive Conservatives and New Democrats cheered them on Dissent from the Grits blinkered inward looking protectionist view point was nil Together they even passed a resolution on auto Imports urging the federal government to force Canadian content regulations on foreign manu facturers From the comments made by Industry and Trade Minister Hugh Nell Tory critic Andy Brandt and Leader Bob Rae both to debate and elsewhere Hyundai and the Jap anese were the main targets Compared to the 15 billion In Investment the Japanese have poured Into the United States with the less than million that has come Into Canada The demand from the Ontario legislators it that the Japanese be kept out unless they start acting air What the Nells Brandts and of course is that trade between Canada and Japan Is actually in rough balance We Imported IS 7 billion worth of goods In and exported What the Ontario politicians are really crying about is that Ontario exported only million while Impor ting billion In short the rest of the country surplus with Japan while Ontario has a deficit SEEK REVENGE If we discriminate heavily against Japanese Imports will they retaliate against the Imports they take from Canada We the US which buys billion more from Japan than It sells to it Then there is the South Korean Pony 0 Nell wants the existing duty free status of the car ended and a 10 per cent tariff slapped on It How unfair he implies that a developing country can actually produce a quality product cheaply and ship it here to compete our over priced domestic prod ucts Yet and his fellow politic are always talking about bow Important foreign aid is bow it makes them feel good to help their fellow man rise to Industrialized status of the West Sure That a as long us it hurt any domestic Industry GOOD CHOICE How much better to help South Korea

practical purp oses be the real opposition In Parliament This was the role that NDP Leader was and pledged for his member caucus following last Sept ember s election which reduced the oncepowerful Liberals to MPs With the New Democrats more or less hold their own despite widespread speculation to Ihe contrary ana with the Liberals devastated and demoral Mr had every right to assume his party would become the more effective opposition The might have entered the new Parliament with 10 fewer seats than the Grits but they were vastly more experienced In the role of opposition The Liberals being the natural governing party for most of the previous years were novices when it came to attacking government At the federal level the New Democrats were bom and raised In Ion For the first few

Sheila Burns and the ladles the exclusive Park area Georgetown urate The New Democrats not only came up with the best questions when It came to getting under the govern ment s skin but they asked them wllh more effect than the Liberals And the NDP attacks were well coordinated by their experienced MPs The Liberals on the other hand seemed confused and with little apparent heart for the onesided battle they faced SPOTTY PERFORMANCES And for a large number of Liberals those who were expected to wield the heavy artillery this remains the case While Mr Turners own personal performance has improved It remains spotty at limes And such former heavyweights as Jean Chretien and Andre haven been exactly electrifying the Commons The Liberals therefore can thank heaven for the Rat Pack the four young and exuberant MPs who by banding together Into a Grit hit squad have caused the Mulroney government more dally discomfort than all Ion MPs combined So tar as the Tories are concerned the Rat Pack is a sort of parliamentary terrorist organization the verbal variety It consists of Sheila Copps 33 from Hamilton Don Boudria from eastern Ontario Newfoundland Brian Tobin 30 and Toronto John 30 who has repeatedly earned title of sleaxebag from Justice Minister John Crosble The Rat Pack they even have T shirts advertising the name to enjoy this type of attention They ha dish out slmUar assessments of Tory MPs They have clearly been carryng the can In the dally Commons question period It a rather informal alliance of personal friends and while they get together frequently to plan their attacks ihcy don operate as a subcaucus and risk the possibility of creating jealousies among colleagues For Instance In the continuing attack on SolicitorGenera Elmer MacKay over the Hatfield affair and his later controversial support for colleague Robert on a sexual charge the Rat Pack has let former solicitorgeneral Robert Kap lan occupy centre stage Mr Kaplan has also been prominent in the patronage debate involving Justice Minister The Pack has stayed in the wings engaging to sporadic sniper fire with an occasional fire from lawyer Nunzlata All members of the Pack are not always on

amount of money the various governments have to spend Currently we are In a deficit position In Canada there are major administrative jurisdictions federal provincial and territorial The USA has over Each these set their own priorities A company wishing to maximize its profits would locate In an area most favourable to its own Interests Tax roles are part of these considerations Many locations in the USA do not provide Ihe extensive social benefits available In Canada and this Is reflected in their taxes Other cost incentives are market accessibility labour and transportation Under free trade most parts of Canada would see lower prices for imported Items Industrialized areas would see an erosion of the tax base as local companies fold under the price pressure of foreign giants or move south to join them With fewer companies to collect taxes from Canada as a whole would be forced to cut bock on services As to the past each Jurisdiction will continue to guard Its borders Midwestern States pork policy will cost Canadians an estimated billion dollars Including spinoffs The USA la also studying a motion to limit Canadian lumber not because we subsidize it but because we do not tax
