started but Prime Minister Trudeau gave us a clear preview of the campaign during that practice run before parly faithful in Montreal And as widely predicted ihe prime minister is going 10 be spending a great deal of time over the next two months asking Canadians who will speak for Canada The Liberal strategists Ihey obviously Include himself have decided that the most vulnerable flank in the Tory armor is Joe Clarke alleged appeasement attitude toward the pro vine What contends is thai Clark is being by six Tory provincial premiers all with divergent Interests and all needed by the national leader in any successful election camp aign Clark declared Is so concerned with making everybody happy that he won make any bold statements Some Quebec Liberals paid a plate to hear the prime minister reveal his campaign tactics TORY They cheered and laughed when the prime minister talked about Clark bodyguard of provincial premiers which keep the leader hamstrung In Ottawa It now up to convince us that policy of potential la lion wilh the premiers is unnecessary divisive and opportunistic a rather difficult assignment when faced with the simultaneous problem of establishing his own appeasement approach can be a potent campaigner as he proved thai 4Sminute Montreal curtain raiser Listing off all the problems and potential problems that will require a firm national stance against provincial interests the prime minister kept the message thai only a sturdy Liberal government could face the with confidence What he might have mentioned In fairness is that many of these problems arose while his Liberal was In power But who expects fairness In a political campaign We are living in a country where froedom is no longer assured what kind of country Is It when laborers are not even free to move across provincial borders We know also that we don t have freedom of movement of capital and he told about how the Stanfield government In Nova Scotia refused to let Bell Canada buy the telephone company there referred to the fact that the Quebec government would not allow a New Brunswick firm to take over a trust company In the province HAMSTRUNG AGAIN Then there was the question of oil prices the prime minister declared Tory Premier Peter Lougheed In Alberta wants higher prices and Tory Premier William in Ontario wants lower prices so what docs Clark do He docs nothing lie claimed that Clark was even rung in criticizing Quebec education policies because he would be faced asking Tory premiers to protect French language educational rights He knows he can I slate any strong policy The prime minister referred to Clark s recent speech In Montreal which dealt with language rights but he said the Tor leader could say much because five Tory premiers were watching over him The Liberal approach lo the el eel ion campaign was predictable since last year when Trudeau and his ministers began taking advantage of every opportunity to accuse Clark of being to ft on separatism And Finance Minis Jean Chretien even accused him of being cozy with Rene Lcvesque Since then the prime minister has been emphasizing the forces regionalism a phrase thai seems out whenever talks about oil and natural gas The stage is obviously being set for the scenario that only a lough federal government can deal with the situation At least he has given Clark ample warning of his intentions Letter to
