The suggested amendments will now go before the House of Commons where Grit MPs are likely to seek other amendments. These would get kicked upstairs where the Toryâ€"dominated Senate would either have to pass those amendments or kill the bill completely. Watch for more fireworks on this front. It seems many Grit MPs don‘t like the idea of changing their riding boundaries before the next federal election. The reasoning is that many current MPs could find themselves battling for a new seat in territory that might prove unfriendly...and we can‘t have that. So Liberals have proposed delaying implementation of any boundary changes for two years, thus effectively making changes before the next election almost impossible. But in discussing the bill in the Senate, Liberal senators offered a comâ€" promise to lower that to 13 months with the Progressive Conservative Senators succestine eicht months for the chanees. Planned electoral boundary changes would see Ontario gain four seats and British Columbia two new seats. In Oakville, the Halton Centre boundary would go right down Upper Middle Road, thus dividing the town from the other proposed riding bearing the name of the municipality. It makes no sense. e stage is being set for the dissolution of Canada, yet the federal governâ€" ment has decided not to give the matter a pn'ority We have only one quesâ€" tion for Prime Mlmster Jean Chretien...if saving the country 1sn t a priority, can you tell us what is? â€" Most Canadians have had just about enough of the ramblings from Parti Quebecoisâ€"leader Jacques Parizeau. His latest salvo at the other provincial premiers was to have them ‘pipe down‘ about any comments regarding the future of Quebec and the country. work before its proposed changes come into being. And that‘s just as well, since their boundaries to cut up the current Oakvilleâ€"Milton riding into Oakville and Halton Centre (as the provincial riding is also known) just doesn‘t make sense. Well, it looks like the Electoral Boundaries Commission is in for more When the commission tabled its plans, the idea was to expand representation in growth areas like Halton. How amazing it is to see Parizeau still sticking to his myopic belief that exiting Canada will be a painless exercise for all concerned. If the PQ wins the provincial election and forms the government, a referendum on separation will be held. This is where the problems start for Parizeau and all Quebeckers who have been deluded into thinking that the future will be rosier under an independent Quebec will get a very rude awakening indeed. We‘ve already touched on the native rights issue in Quebec, which would likely be decided by the federal government or an international court. Given the present sentiment in the world to native peoples, they would have the support of many groups and nations in remaining within Canada and not subject to Quebec policies. Then there would be the inevitable fallout of Quebec independence, namely a push to destroy Frenchâ€"speaking communities in those provinces where they exist. And this would come at a time when Ontario francophone groups are whining about not being treated equally here. They are taking their claims to the United Nations. If these groups believe they will be treated with any kind of sympathy after an independent Quebec has been formed, they are kidding themselves. In choosing not to treat Parizeau as a serious threat to the future of Canada, the prime minister is playing right into the PQ leader‘s hands. In the fight for Canada, it‘s time the gloves came off.

"Those days are gone forever, I hope." 30 years ago The possibility of a large nuclear reactor being built on Oakville‘s East Town Line became more probable as J. Lorne Gray, president of the Atomic Energy of Canada , said future nuclear plants should be built near heavily populated centres such as Hamilton and Toronto. Hydro has been gathering land in the area of the East Town Line for the past years and during 1963 announced a "major power project" would be located on the property. But Gray said the reactor would have been built in Toronto, if land wasn‘t so expensive. bers. "I fully agree.

Canada Itd.. decided that reactors must be located close to consumers. More reason to believe the Aâ€"plant would be built in Oakville came when the Ontario Research Foundation announced and began construction of a giant "Research City" on the Queen Elizabeth Way, east of Town Line. 20 years ago A member of the Oakville and District Labour Council told a meeting of the performing arts centre committee the proposed facility is "a luxury facility that should not be financed by people who are not in a prosperous financial position." Jack Henry, chairman of the labour council‘s municipal committee, said he was not against the theatre, but he was concerned about taxpayers who can ill afford to support the facility â€" such as penâ€" sioners. Estimated cost of the facility was $1.5 million to $1.75 million.
