Let’s ask them some questions about these national and local issues The pay-forâ€"yourâ€"own breakfast will be held at 8:15 am. at the Oakville Howard Johnson’s Hotel on Argus Road. For more information call 827-2077. Oct. 25th: polls open from 9:00 a.m.-8:00 pm. Electors not on list may still register to vote. Here at home, some things get bet; ter and some get worse. Perm-Canada, to their credit, has shown a commitâ€" ment to real improvement, yet their Oakville operation still kicks out tons of sulphur dioxide. Across town, St. Lawrence Cement is at odds with its neighbors over plant emissions. Toxic pesticides are sprayed on Town parks and playing fields, despite the proven success of our neighbors without them. Chlorine creates low levels of carcinogenic trihalomethanes in our drinking water. Oakville grows in leaps and bounds, bringing our quality of life closer and closer to that of North York. Oct. 19th: Advance polls operate from 12:00 p.m.-8:00 p.m. Oct. 19th: Prime Minister Kim Campbell will be in town at the Oakville Centre at 12:00 noon. Everyone is invited to attend. Oct. 20th: Cablenet TV 23 will re-broadcast candidates debates at 10:00 pm. This is the last airing of the debates. Oct. 21st: Voters are being invited to have breakfast with Newfoundland Premier Clyde Wells and Oakville~ Milton Liberal candidate Bonnie Brown. Oct. 17th: statements from the candidates for the Oakville-Milton riding will be re-broadcast on Cablenet TV 23 at 9:00 pm. and on Oct. let and Oct. 23rd, both at 9:00 pm. Oct. 18th: Advance polls operate from 12:00 p.m.-8:00 p.m. The local PC candidate is threaten- ing to break the record for Olympic backpedalling, claiming, “I don’t answer for the former member of this riding.” Congratulations to her if she manages to reap the benefit of a ‘safe’ Tory seat while avoiding any of the responsibility. It has become common in intema~ tional circles to refer to Canada 'as the “Brazil of the North” because of clearcutting; dead beluga whales in the St. Lawrence River must be neatâ€" ed as toxic waste; allowing overfishâ€" ing has killed an entire Maritime indusuy â€" the list continues. Although in some cases the Federal Government pleads, “This is not our jurisdiction” â€" a strong federal commitment could show leadership and encourage others to follow along. The Canadian: Environmental Protection Act calls for an assessment of toxic substances for government regulation. After five years, only eight of 44 first-priority substances have been assessed by Environment Canada, while 5,000 new chemicals have been introduced in North America. environmental legislation designed to eliminate environmentalâ€"protection rules which might hurt the intemation- a1 competitiveness of Canadian com- panies. Environmental sustainability ranked seventh on a list of eight crite- ria by which the regulations were reviewed. Earth to Oakville, do you read me?
