L6K 3S4 THE OAKVILLE BEAVER Friday, Sept. 10, 1993 â€" 6 The way it is arely had the federal election been called when the verbal blows began between the two top contenders for power. Prime Minister Kim Campbell said it could be years before national unemployment falls below the 10 per cent mark. Considering 11.6 per cent of the population is unemployed, that‘s not a very optimistic statement. Of course the response by Liberal leader Jean Chretien to this comment was not unexpected. Chretien said the Tories had jobs as a priority for the turn of the century while it was the Grits who would "create jobs for 1993." And here we thought this election campaign would be somehow different from the other ‘traditional‘ battles for power. Chretien‘s phrase suggesting that his government would ‘create‘ jobs should send a shiver up the back of every taxâ€"paying Canadian, whether they‘re unemâ€" ployed or not. Let‘s get one thing straight: governments at all levels have never created any kind of meaningful, longâ€"term jobs except among the civil service. That‘s it, periâ€" od. And for Chretien to suggest otherwise is to further distance himself from the reality of 1993. Who will pay for these governmentâ€"created jobs? If you said the taxpayer, you‘re right. And why would the Liberals create these ephemeral jobs? Why for political gain and nothing else. At a time when governments are trying to privatize some of their vast responsibilities as a way to try and reduce our crushing and economyâ€"destroying government costs, Mr. Chretien would throw more money at the problem. That solves nothing. Any party could reduce unemployment in a The Oakville Beaver welcomes your comments.
