protection for the small businessman he promised Bailey also said there was a need for greater protection for Canada export and industries He knocked the Trudeau government for its lack of an employment policy Not since the years has a government been so unwilling to come to grips with unemploy ment he claimed Increased prices for clothes and housing urban growth and the need for a redefinition of what communities are all about are key problems the next government will have to face stated Bailey A hard hitting attack on Prime Minister Trudeau his personality and governmental record was launched by PC hopeful Bill Ive been talking to people every day and I ve found this election comes down to person My opponents get upset at this they are saying I m scraping the bottom of the barrel Kempllng pointed out Kempllng said the public Is becoming increasingly concerned with the arrogance of Prime Minister Trudeau People are asking What are we going to do with Trudeau has become he thundered The government Is wooing the public with false images of walking into the future through a field of clover suggested He cited the example of the proposed name change for the as one example of how the Canadian public has been deceived by the Liberal govern Deceived Solicitor General Pierre Coyer denied there would be a name change But we now know that there are plans to change the C M name It t matter whether you re for the name change or not the point is we were deceived reiterated Kempung Kempling also knocked Liberals who compare the Prime Minister to American president Richard Nixon because of both mens tours to foreign nations Comparing to Nixon is tike comparing Mickey Mouse to Angclo Mosca he quipped A double dose of gloom was how the third speaker Liberal candidate Norm McGuinncss described talk What we heard is the typical Tory platform nothing to do with the future Just poor mouthing and bellyaching snorted McGulness Higher level He also his Too counterpart for dealing with personalities Personally I like to keep the campaign on a much tanner level McGuiness said if the real issue in the election was to be based on party leaders then a close look should be taken at the performance of the Prime Minister This gov eminent has been the hardest working ever passing at least bills per session When the American govern Imposed the per cent surcharge on imported goods the cool nerve of the government helped the Canadian lollar to remain stable McGuinness told the audience Measures were taken by the administration to control the Canadian dollar when John Cortnalyfn big Texas style made a frontal attack on Canada claimed the speaker Tax reform Tax reform legislation an economic growth which outpaces the USA laws for the pro tection of the environment increased housing projects and a willingness to listen to the public were some of the accomplish and byproducts of the present Liberal government Mc Guinness remarked Although the three political aspirants hammered away at a variety of issues it appeared in a question and answer period which followed their talks that economics and the tax structure were the main topics of to the North Burlington audience A Guelph Line resident Eric Gudgeon wanted to know why secondary manufacturing increased with the Gross National Product sold Canada has a balance of payment problem caused by purchasing other nations finished products with our raw materials Part of the problem is because service industries are Canada fastest growing concern ob served McGuinness When Gudgeon seemed skeptical retorted don t nod your head It a fact Branch plant economy We also have a branch plant economy which doesn t have access to markets was another reason why secondary was behind the economic measuring stick he pointed out also said Canada national corporation and that every nation would have to come to grips with it When the audience seemed to knock this observation he stated that The General Motors Cor poration has a larger Gross National Product than most nations The national corporation looks at a global market Stronger controls and aid to Industries would be pushed for by the Liberal government If It were returned noted the speaker who tended to take more time to answer questions than his apologized for getting on a soapbox But these are things I feel strongly about he explained lifted Many of his proposals were lifted from the New Democratic Party platform Bailey quipped what the has been advocating has had some effect It very fine to hear these comments expressed The term corporate welfare bum coined by leader David Lewis was brought up during the night when Gudgeon WENTWOHTH CANDIDATES Norm McGuinness Liberal BUI Kempling Progressive Conservative and Dickson Bailey NDP talk with Mrs Eric Gudgeon during a meet seminar at Fainnew School in last week Council opposes delay on garage switched his questioning from aid to industries to the status of unions Your party has talked about corporate bums would It unions to pay taxes on their Investments and to keep their money In Canada he asked Bailey Somewhat hesitantly Bailey said the Would push for greater economic controls on unions but added that unions were not businesses His remarks brought hoots and dirisive laughter from the audience Gudgeon retorted with oh yes they arc and Kempllng agreed with him While economic matters dominated most of the night discussion two questions dealing with other were brought into focus by a Kilbride man Tom Patience Death penalty Patience asked the guests how they would vote on reestablish on the continued ban on capital punishment which he considered a key issue Kempling he would probably vote for the restoration of hanging while said the matter would have to be studied Bailey said he would vote against the rccstnblishment of death penalty Patience second question started a somewhat heated municipal debate which took the spotlight temporarily off the three guests Patience asked the delegates how their respective parties would deal with recent requests by Bell Canada to increase telephone rates Patience said many people in the North Burlington area were forced to share party lines with neigh Increased rates Bailey said the was against increased rates while Kempling said North Burlington residents should push for better service and that Bell would have to have a case before It would be allowed to raise charges McGuinness admitted he know how he would vote After the three political hopefuls had declared their position Mrs Ella I- who is the councillor for North Burlington Ward stood up I don t know of any line telephone line in the north with 15 people declared I know of six Patience stated Sharpen Dp One man In the audience who said he was a Bell employee claimed the maximum number of people on one line was 10 If some people would sharpen up they receive better service he admonished Brad Clements President of the Upper Burlington Citliens told the crowd they were tiscusslng something which was of a local issue While Kempllng McGuinness and Bailey had clashed on numerous occasions they supported each other when one member of the audience claimed Ihey were shying away from one of the main issues in the election Olympics Jewell asked why the question of cost of bringing 1970 Olympics to Canada had not brought up when it will why Montreal will be the host city and not Toronto Kemplinj said there are so many issues It was hard to tulk them all The other All three rejected suggestion their partus afraid to discuss the Olympics because it could turn into a versus Canada clash At about 15 the formal part of the evening was drawn to a dose The candidates mingled with the audience and held informal for about another half hour Although considerable opposition was expressed County Council has agreed to ask the contractor to begin work on the new county garage this year with the
