Parliament Hill report Garth Turner MP Halton Peel - Here’s why Garth Turner will vote Yes. In early September I wrote in this column that my role as MP should not be that of a cheerleader in this referendum. Instead, I wanted to spend these weeks giving people all the information they needed to make an informed vote. So, almost every night for the past three weeks, I’ve been stand- ing at the front of a room talking about the constitution, Canada’s future and the referendum. Literally, thousands of people have come and participated - the most, by far, in my four years of Town Hall meetings. But, I also said last month that if this referendum turned into a parti- san debate, that I would not shy for one moment from telling you clear- ly where I stood, and wh Unfortunately, that has hap- pened. Some people are trying to turn a referendum on our future into an election on our politicians. Night after night, the Reform Party is on TV talking about why you should reject “the Mulroney deal,” for example - ignoring the fact that all the provinces and territories support this consensus. Well, I’ve had it. Tonight, at the Georgetown) I am going to stop being just an educator, and let peo- ple know exactly where I stand. I’ve read and re-read the Charlottetown accord. I’ve studied analyses and reports on the deal. T’ve talked to Joe Clark. I have debated with separatists. T’ve reviewed Canadian history. And I have listened to the best arguments that no-sayers have thrown out in these weeks of debate. And I’m voting Yes. Never before in our country’s record have all the government been able to agree on a package of reforms. Is there any reason to believe that a better consensus oe emerge if this one is tossed Neves before have we been able to satisfy the desires of native peo- ples, Quebecers and western Canadians at the same time, while making the House of Commons fairer for Ontario, giving equality to men and women and clearing our plate of a problem that’s dogged us for years, so we can con- centrate on fixing the economy. ore than ever, I can’t under- stand why any would vote No, sup- porting the Quebec separatists and the protest politicians sniping from the sidelines so they can pick up crumbs of power at the expense of the nation. After all, this is about the future. A Yes vote means we get on with implementing the changes every- one has agreed to. It means bury- ing those who want Canada to break apart, or wouldn’t be both- ered if it happened carelessly. No country has ever split peace- fully or cheaply. And certainly not acountry which - in the view of the United nations - has the best stan- dard of living on earth. Voting Yes means thumbs-up to a compromise in which everyone gets a little, and surrenders the same. In return, we all get to keep Canada, Sure, there are concerns about what distinct society means to indi- vidual rights, how native self-gov- ernment will work, whether guar- antees to Quebec are better or worse than the ones made in the past to PEI or Saskatchewan.

(SOLD } JOHNSON & ASSOCIATES let’s not forget - the can be routinely changed, as we find the best balance and rules. And there are people who just want the talking to stop. Well, it won’t, and it shouldn’t. Canada is an evolving country - many say, at the forefront of the world as a mod- em, flexible federation that works. Voting Yes confirms that. It celebrates it. It will be a signal to the countries of the earth that here, in this funny place where french and oe aboriginal and and west, new and old live rcs that there is peace and tolerance. Between now and Monday, please ask yourself: Could all our leaders ever arrive at a better deal? What are the No forces offering as an alternative? If there’s the slight- est risk a defeat on Monday would hurt us, why take it? And, finally, what’s best for Canada? Dorothy and I asked ourselves those questions. We’re voting Yes. Dear Editor, then telephoned for an ambulance. responding ambulance team. Good samaritans found! Recently my nine year old daughter was faced with an emergency while at Cedarvale Park.
