Americanbased media people to the strong feelings the accord has aroused But you get a nagging feeling from much of the American coverage that the gist of the pro blem that Quebecs nationalist aspirations are being suppressed by three spoilsport provinces which have refused to support the Lake accord The Quebec sign law which angered is rarely mentioned None of the stories have seen has mentioned the fact that Bouchard resigned primarily over the Charest report which recommended that the distinct society clause in the Meech accord not supersede the Charter of Rights and that the federal govern ment should be allowed to promote and protect linguistic duality Nowhere has there been a men tion the American that English speaking Canadians ha ve reached he conclusion ha Quebec is

rights in its a lapse Clean Up Vourflct PitchIn Liberals may alter leadership vote process Continued from Page smidgen of excitement It was not a great trendsetter for political junkies However neither is the current Liberal race which has been sleep walking across Canada for the last six months And furthermore it even lacks the element of fairness that goes with universal suffrage WANT HOOPLA What the parties like about delegates doing the selecting is the hoopla that builds up around the convention It provides for great television with its balloons bands and balloting And often it has been used as the kickoff for an election campaign The convention atmosphere gives a much more flattering pic ture of the party than the selection process we recently saw in On or the ones conducted by the Parti Quebecois Echoing halls and empty chairs dont give the impression of a par on the march toward victory Some Liberals who previously supported the concept of universal suffrage now talk of tightening the current process to eliminate so- called dirty tricks and other ir regularities This would permit a full scale leadership convention to be held after delegates had been selected in a fairer process One suggestion would be to eliminate the slate system under which one candidate is able to sweep an entire riding This could be replaced with a selection based on the number of votes cast for each candidate There is also talk of standardiz ing the length of time constituency voters must be party members before being permitted to take part the selection of delegates Some feel this should be up to a year Other ideas will no doubt emerge in Calgary and the universal suf frage system we recently saw in Ontario might well win over a ma jority of delegates One thing seems certain after what weve seen this time there will be changes SAT SUN JUNE 2nd 3rd 100400 pm Highway 7 West to Regional Rd 3 Trafalgar Rd Continue north through Ballmafad and follow Canada Trust
