the HERALD Home Newspaper of Halton Hills Established A Division of Canadian Newspapers Company Limited Street Georgetown Ontario DAN OH Adverting Maiunir Phone Page A TIIFIILHAI l Take advantage There t too many sparks flying at the municipal allcandidates meeting hosted last Tuesday by Georgetown Chamber of Commerce But that s understandable certainly In fact there was only one candidate at the forum who really showed much color verbally at least Those who were there will know who this is in reference to The candidates said whal most of us expected thej would say Rather than attacking their opponents they chose to make themselves out as crusaders and exactly what the community needs It was quite apparent judging by the questions asked during the feedback portion of the evening that certain candidates had brought along bandwagon supporters But again thats understandable Its difficult to say how many people came away from the meeting more enlightened than when they went in But the most important thing is all the residents of Hills were given the opportunity to see and hear their municipal candidates as they are The format of the meeting was well organized and ran smoothly aside from a few microphone problems The next such forum will be Nov at Georgetown District High School when the Chamber hosts an all candidates meeting for those running in the Nov federal elections But remember one thing These forums arent for the people who are running in the elections Theyre primarily for the voters ind presents them with a convenient opportunity to draw con elusions on candidates

candidate Garth As one of ninny who has studied the Free Trade Pact in its entirely and has debated of tree Trade on Canadians with Federal and Members of Parliu raent including government officials for the past 15 months 1 am shocked at Garth own statement and from his document Read Is Free Trade Agreement for two whole days now 1 know what I am talking about Those who have biin in discussing and debiting the effects of Free Trade pact on Canadians for IS months regardless of politics will clearly admit that anyone who pur ports to have clear understanding of the Fret Trade Pact after reading the Free TradL document over a period of two days is either dream or that miracle of a com brain I state unequivocally to all voters in our that Mr Turner booklet on Free Trade is misleading many areas and can Only further confuse voters seeking knowledge of the Agreement The CanadaUS Free Trade Agreement Is not Just about trading There are at items in Poet that have nothing to do with trading such as control of our banks service industry and natural resources water hydro natural gas and Other petroleum products Worse still It la the end or Provincial and Federal Marketing Boards
