the educational system Mr Johnson noted that The teachers are not satisfied the students are not satisfied and the taxpayers are certainly not when they get their tax bills But dont blame the teachers or the students Blame the architect of our present day education system the Flowertown Flop William Davis who brought us an alltime high in education costs and an all- time low In educational standards Turning to regional government id Mr Johnson The regional system designed to Btreamllne services cut costs and eliminate duplication has developed into a taxgobbling monster Worse than that your elected represen tatives serving that monster have been emasculated They are not answerable to you the taxpayer they are an swerable only to the bureaucrats at Queens Pane Appointees on the Niagara Escarpment Commission or on the various conservation authorities have far more say and carry more weight than your elected representatives Terming Ontario an en vironmental disaster Mr Johnson strongly criticized the Progressive Conservatives environmental stand Governments longrange plans for garbage plants are no more than a gesture Quarries gravel pits and the subsequent truck traffic are a law unto themselves He rapped the cleanup campaign the provincial government has undertaken to fight violence on TV Street may be sleazy and TV may be violent but shouldnt the Tories be cleaning up their own house For under the Tory rugs there is still the old dirt of Bales Shouldlce and the Harborgate can of worms that has yet to be fully opened Before the Liberals have even put their candidate into the thick of things Mr Johnson was attacking them As usual they are fence sitting waiting to steal someone elses thunder We mustnt discount the Whigs in this election but we in the Ontario New Democratic Party have the edge That optimism continued into the speech by the meetings featured Ted Bounsall MPP for Windsor West and the NDPs labor critic He told the members pesent that the Tories have managed to affront virtually every special interest group in Ontario that has felt it had a gripe From hospital workers to teachers to daycare centre operators to truck drivers Theyve crossed them all It has been this total lack of response that has hurt them Mr added that the PCs have been negligent In the en vironmental Held to the point of being virtually criminally negligent He voiced criticism also of the governments study of violence on television headed by Judy The government pays widows and widowers of anyone killed in the working places of Ontario 260 a month yet there
