we broke for the Christmas holidays said one western Tory member we felt really good about things I think we all thought we had turned the comer Who needs more of this crap You get the same type of comment from most comers of the Tory backbenches There is some anger some resentment even some pity there is frustration One wonders how the prime minister must feci It obviously docsn help to the latest Gallup Pott Indicating that for the first time In history the Conservatives are in third place in terms of national popularity percentage points they were two points behind the New Democrats One angry member said he spent the Christmas recess busting my butt on behalf of the government So how do you think it to back and have all this blow up In your face He answered hi question hiirelf Lousy Another said that hi has never seen his caucus colleagues so depressed about a particular Issue It not the resignation itself or even the events surrounding it it a question of whether it will

maclendz ACTION SI- Anyone who witches the daily Question Period in the can quickly notice the feels Just watch the faces belter still listen to he applause or the lack of it on the Tory benches Usually when the prime minister or he deputy prime minister defends a Tory col league he is supported by loud clap ping It has been rather i of Said MP no fun sitting there day after day while Grits and the NDP keep about a rotten government and every day the newspapers new twists to things I mean how long arc sup posed to sit there and clap One can also spot some resent particularly among certain western MPs over the act that pro blems are being caused by the prime minister Quebec friends While the affair was at its height three aides to Quebec ministers forced to resign two of them for past criminal activities lip until this scandal I there was lots of time before another election and all our pro blems would forgotten by then said an MP And there still time I am beginning to have my doubts whether we can ever shake the sleaze factor God how I hate that expres sion he added IN A REAL MESS AND TOE COUNTRY Letters POLL AHEAD Many budget options for windfall funds Darker side Dear Sir Senlors The Darker Side I believed the glowing prospect of laving for my retirement through I did enjoy small measure of ax shelter the last few while employed Three yean after my retirement at id expense cropped up that indeed for dipping into my rainyday plan At ray bank it would be no problem to withdraw from RRSP to buy a car Then the bad newt the Government would take from me for

the car la con- Income therefore no ex traa To sum up The government took became I withdrew my money The government got pur chase tax for the car it a the law The government baa deducted per month from our combined pension income Get the full story George Mitchell RaylawnCrea kind of good for tune enjoyed by Treasurer Bob Nix on is best illustrated by what Pro gressive Conservative Leader Larry Grossman wants him to do with bis spring budget Nixon Is sitting on windfall revenue as a result of a combination of a booming southern Ontario economy and Liberal tax hikes posed when the Grits first took power in Windfall revenue In thia tense means not a genuine surplus but In come above the levels the govern ment expected and budgeted for therefore money that remains free to be allocated Grossman it amounts to billion In fact he predicted such a huge revenue surplus last spring was inevitable because the Grits were deliberately undereati moling provincial growth So far Treasury admits to being million ahead of prediction on revenues G claims that another million will show up In the figures eventually while the Liberals will through a variety of accounting tricks and last minute spending hide another million Maybe Maybe not But there it certainly no doubt that Nixon la watching the money roll in In unparalleled volumes Since the IMS takeover provincial revenues have climbed per cent 13 per cent last year alone The question then becomes what todowithit Grossman a recipe for Nixon is tax slashing a fivepercent point cut in personal income tax and a one- percentagepoint cut in the sales tax That would tike million Another POO million would be ap plied to the billion deficit Interestingly Grossman said this necessarily what Tory budget would do should the party ever get Queens Park theyareaccumulallng he said And what Is Nixon response There is great pressure to prove programs that have been strangled for money particularly during the last few of the Con serve live government While be like to see taxes we have to give a good level of service and we Intend to do that It he ruling out a tax cut in the next budget then Well no As Treasurers normally do he Just isn t saying One suggestion Is that If Nixon does go the tax cut route It Indicates a June election for certain Nixon by nature t a ax cut ter He believes In the efficacy of spending and the taxes required to pay for It For example with one major ex ception the tax changes In his first budget the first Liberal budget In years from a four percentile bump In the personal Income tax to gasoline a lax all produced more revenue million In total The exception was the ft tales tax exemption later broadened to As an aside and as an Indication of how people can get confuted by the tax system the Legislatures own cafeteria has Illegally charged that tax tlnce last spring until Oils They might reorder their ding priori lies But given the figures for transfer and so on the Liberals already announced will be In the next budget Urn Is what I hey should do with the excess revenue In any case It Is good times for him Because he has lots of money coming in he has lots of options And It would be nice If he took Grossman a suggestion As the Frascr Institute has ably demonstrated for the average ly of four earning almost half Its income goes in tax lo be exact They could use a tax cut A smokescreen Dear Sir The uproar over Sunday as an enforced rest day Is a smokescreen The Scriptures pro claim the Seventh day as the Biblical Sabbath In both the old and the new Testaments A look at any calendar will confirm that the Seventh day Is indeed the day we know as Saturday The following quotes show who changed day You may read the Bible from Genesis to Revelation and you will not find a single line the of Sunday The Scriptures enforce the religious observance of Saturday a day which we never sanctify James Cardinal Gibbons The of The Bible soys Remember the Sabbath day to keep it holy But the Catholic church says No keep the first day of the week and the whole world bows In obedience Roman Catholic Priest So people disobey the Creator Yahwcha Law by working on the Sabbath and uphold the Pope by enforcing Sunday as the rest day It Is a simple matter of obedience to Disobedience brings death Romans Daniel wrote about the changing of the law in chapter John wrote about the religious empire that rules the world tin Revelation as Babylon mother of Harlots Babylon day of worship is Sun day and annually December IS the Venerable day of the Sun The Sunday law Is only the beginning The Tribulation the Bible says result from this will make the ex terminations and martyrdoms of the Early and Middle Ages also perpetrated by the Christian Church conservative estimates
